Over the course of two decades, his discovery, "frequency modulation synthesis," made the school more than $25 million in licensing fees. But more importantly, FM synthesis revolutionized the music industry, and opened up a world of digital sound possibilities. Despite the patent’s immense success, its discoverer, Dr. This is the story of an auditory pioneer who was unwilling to compromise his curiosity — and who, with a small group of gifted colleagues, convinced the world that computers could play an important role in the creation of music.
