    I did a presentation at Retro World Expo on FM synthesis. This is sort of a wheel house of mine. I've been around them for a long time. It's a coincidence that I had a TX81Z synthesizer while hacking music in Sonic games, which did wonders in my quest to understand how it worked in those games.

    Fast forward, and I'm still doing stuff with it. I wanted to share a portion of what I know. The presentation didn't quite go according to plan, but there's still good information that can be shared.

    Thanks for Andy Wolan, Striker, and Conner for helping with filming. Thanks to SSNTails for sitting in and being my sidekick.

    Note: If you wish to skip over the intro, the content starts at 3:25.



    To be released eventually:

    * Panel on DOOM map editing featuring SSNTails and my self

    * Panel on Stealth's programming history, featuring a *mystery guest*!!! (hint: it's Stealth)
