Very interesting. I've never really understood the math, and reading the article I am even more confused!
The narrative that modulating the phase is mathematically equivalent to modulating the frequency is intriguing... although I wouldn't agree that the Casio phase distortion had a similar sound quality to Yamaha's FM (I owned both).

The article references the Yamaha FS1R. There's some really nice FS1R samples in the Jiggery Pokery Retrospective refill.

I have them all, but really go for PX7 9 times out of 10 because of the brightness control, it makes FM cool again. Its like FM's version of a filter cutoff.

FM4 because its easy to work with, and it's the one on the list I actually own.

Does anybody know if the feedback knob on FM4 does a similar thing to PX7's brightness knob. Sounds like it does!

The feedback knob is different, it adjusts the feedback on the feedback operator. You know, PX7 has a feedback knob as well.

You're right it does. Slightly different operating range but yeah same thing.
