The DX7 quickly became a staple in ’80s pop.ĭespite its popularity, the DX7 was a complicated machine. FM synthesis could imitate acoustic instruments like brass, and introduced different styles of ‘struck’ and ‘plucked’ sounds as presets. Analogue synths were usually described as warm and fuzzy/hairy sounding, while FM synthesizers were harsh and chilly. After the advent of FM synthesis at Stanford University, Yamaha licensed the technology to build the most successful digital synthesizer in history.įM synthesis introduced ‘glassier’ sounds that analogue synthesizers couldn’t replicate. Analogue synths dominated the market in the early 1980s, but they were expensive beasts and stale sounding by that time. The DX7 is one of the best-selling synthesizers ever made.
