FM Synthesis Pioneer John Chowning to Deliver AES Show 2020 Heyser Lecture

“Realizing a Dream, a Discovery, and Lissajous Figures,” will be the title of the presentation where Chowning will detail sound spatialization and synthesis innovations from his 50-plus years of research and development in the industry. John Chowning, FM Synthesis pioneer, researcher and composer, will deliver the AES Show 2020 Heyser Lecture on Tuesday, October 27, at 1PM EDT during the AES Show Fall 2020 Convention.

Following the recent expansion of Sound Semiconductor's range of IC products with new single and dual VCA chips, the Sonora, California, -based company founded by Dan Parks, now announced a new audio-band Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) integrated circuit. The first new electronic music VCO IC in decades, the FatKeys SSI2130 has been a long time in the making, and credit is due to the company's great chip designers, which seem determined to quickly build up Sound Semiconductor's portfolio.
