The DX7 was a groundbreaking synthesizer and this chip was at the heart of it, so in a sense this chip was responsible for the 80's sound. Studying the chip's die reveals some interesting circuits. Uncovering the secrets of how the chip operates may help build more accurate DX7 emulators...
It’s difficult to overestimate the influence of the DX7 as its sound can be heard everywhere, and it’s not impossible that you own a Yamaha FM synth even today if you have in your possession a sound card. Curious about the DX7? Master chip-reverse-engineer [Ken Shirriff] exposed its...

Yamaha's DX5 slots in somewhere between their legendary DX7 and flagship DX1 synthesizers. Under the hood the DX5 is almost identical to the DX1 except the DX5 has done away with the heavy wood-paneling and has a less fancy keyboard (no more ployphonic a

Computing exponents is a key part of the DX7's sound synthesis. The chip needs to compute exponents very quickly, faster than an algorithm such as CORDIC could operate, but a straightforward ROM would have been much too large. The chip solves this dilemma by using delta encoding, ROM compre...
