The YAMAHA legend visited KAIST

As a part of the 2023 Culture Technology Graduate Colloquium, Dr. Toshifumi Kunimoto was invited to KAIST to give a talk on “Sound Synthesis and Processing in YAMAHA”

Dr. Kunimoto was the boss of Dr. Kim when Dr. Kim worked for YAMAHA R&D. Dr. Kunimoto has been working for YAMAHA more than 40 years and established significant success on music synthesis based on physical modelling.

Students were extremely engaged with the talk – Dr. Kim had to stop several questions in order to move to the next scheduled appointment.

Below is the entire lecture (recorded via ZOOM) if you want to check it out.
