To celebrate my 50th episode, we’re going to explore the synthesizer that started me on this synth obsession- the iconic Yamaha DX7! In this video we’ll go over its history, features, and why it was such a game-changer in the world of electronic music. From its revolutionary, frequency modulation synthesis engine to its ubiquitous sound in ‘80s pop hits, we’re going to dive into what made the DX7 so special and why it continues to be relevant today. Whether you're a seasoned synth enthusiast or just curious about the history of electronic music, this video will give you a deeper appreciation for the Yamaha DX7 and its impact on music production!
