History of Frequency modulation synthesis

Difference (from prior major revision) (author diff)

Changed: 3c3,5

Often, the modulating signal has a harmonic relationship to the original signal. As the amount of FM modulation increases, the sound grows progressively more complex.

The technique was invented by John Chowning at Stanford University in the early 1970s, and later licensed to Yamaha.
