Reference excerpt

Stanley Jungleib (born Stanley Young, May 15, 1953) is an American musician, philosopher, author, inventor, and entrepreneur. He is best known for wide-reaching influence in digital music and synthesizer design. Most notably his commitment to software techniques liberated digital audio from the desktop computer, enabling broad applications ranging from game platforms and laptops to cell phones and other miniature devices. Currently he is expanding the field of psychoenergetic computing and writes on philosophy, music, technology, communications, and politics.

Early life Stanley Jungleib was born to Milton Young and Josephine (Josie) Gressani Young, on May 15, 1953 in San Mateo, California. Jungleib expressed precocious talents in music, technology, politics, and philosophy. He performed on piano, pipe organ, drums and orchestral percussion. By 1969 he was an Advanced Amateur Radio Operator (WA6LVC) and had earned his Second Class Radiotelephone Broadcast license. Jungleib participated in the Peace Movement and Anti-Vietnam war activism. Simultaneously, he audited college-level philosophy classes and delved into Judaism to anchor his status as a conscientious objector. (Preserving that heritage, he legally changed his surname from Young to its original Jungleib.) Serving as youth chairman for a councilmen's campaign, he learned "back-room" intricacies of city and county politics. Thus, after a two-year effort, he successfully drove the protection of the open space in San Mateo County California known as Sugarloaf Mountain). His strategy exposed corruption and graft, resulting in the ouster of the entire (Republican) city council. This operation brought him an invitation from the San Mateo County Democratic Central Committee, making him the first eighteen-year-old in the State to be so appointed.

Education A protege of Existentialist Peter Koestenbaum by 1971, Jungleib took lower-division Honors studies at San Jose State University, majoring in philosophy but also studying pipe organ with Philip Simpson. Himself a student of Marie-Claire Alain, Simpson impressed upon Jungleib the sonic power of the French Impressionist organ school. With wood-working and electronics training, Jungleib qualified as an apprentice organ builder in Ft. Worth, Texas, learning the fine art and complexities of custom instrument construction. In retrospect, this pipe organ experience laid solid groundwork for his future endeavors in synthesis and instrument design. Jungleib transferred to the University of California, Santa Cruz in 1973 where he earned a bachelor's degree in philosophy with Thesis and Major honors in 1975. From 1975 to 1976 he taught two original metaphysics courses exploring Immanuel Kant, Arthur Schopenhauer, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and Eastern philosophy in light of theories of philosophical reticence. Jungleib then pursued graduate work in philosophy at the University of Rochester, advised by Richard Clyde Taylor and Lewis White Beck. As a Graduate Fellow, he taught undergraduates Introductory, Modern, and Eastern philosophy courses while focusing on Plato, Metaphysics, and the Philosophy of Language.

Career

Early work He began his Silicon Valley technical career in 1977, as a trainer for Deterline Corporation. Here he behaviorally revised radar and other non-ordinance instruction for the U.S. Army Intelligence Center and U.S. Navy. Next he edited and wrote for AMPEX corporation, creating documentation for broadcast audio and video recorders. While studying emerging mini- and micro-computers at Stanford University and Foothill College he created a publications department for clinical chemistry analyzer maker Chemetrics. In 1979 Jungleib joined Sequential Circuits Inc., a prominent synthesizer company, where he managed publications for the company's musical instruments such as the Prophet-5, and other Engineering programs. His detailed documentation helped solidify the company's success among music's most influential artists of the 1970s and '80s. Jungleib's tenure at Sequential also evolved into over 30 years of leadership in music synthesis, including coordinating MIDI (1983), General MIDI (1990), and ultimately, inventing real-time processor-based synthesis (1993) and its means of distribution (1997). After KORG absorbed Sequential, Jungleib consulted as Product Planner to finish the Wavestation and develop Sondius® physically-modeled sounds. Now independent, he consulted on MIDI tools for Silicon Graphics, further exploring multi-media design by becoming an early Macromind Director certified developer. Director synchronization problems motivated his first patent (#5,286,908), which forged bi-directional linkage between graphics and music programs. He employed this technology to implement California Recording Institute's visual virtual mixing system.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Stanley Jungleib

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Stanley Jungleib claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Stanley Jungleib before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Stanley Jungleib ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Stanley Jungleib

In research: Stanley Jungleib appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Stanley Jungleib in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Stanley Jungleib is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1953 births, Amateur radio people, American inventors, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Stanley Jungleib outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
