Additionally the windows version has an option in the set-up menu for FM synthesis instead of general midi.

John Chowning (born 1934), musician, inventor and professor who developed FM synthesis.

This could be especially poor if the game was an older title that used FM synthesis for sound effects.

FM synthesis can create both harmonic and inharmonic sounds.

FM synthesis is a form of "distortion synthesis" or "nonlinear synthesis".

Eight waveforms are available for the FM synthesis.

In general, wave table synthesis creates more accurate reproductions of sound than FM synthesis.

This technique, known as FM synthesis, was popularized by early digital synthesizers and became a standard feature in several generations of personal computer sound cards.

FM synthesis was developed for this purpose; as a way of generating complex sounds digitally with the smallest number of computational operations per sound sample.

These cards used FM synthesis, which generates sound through modulation of sine waves.
