this time focusing on the giant firm yamaha, we take a look at how the company created its identity and signature sounds through their adverts, r&d and areas of pursuit. motorcycles, music schools and vocaloids are just some of the branches they have nurtured, not forgetting the striking development of the instantly recognizable sounds of the eighties from Chowning’s accidental stumbling upon fm synthesis to the iconic dx series.
