“The startup sound was done in my home studio on a Korg Wavestation,” Reekes said in a statement.
Reekes decided to let the world in on how he created the Mac OS X chime, and how Apple (Steve Jobs) came around to adopting it as the sound that would be typical to a Macintosh computer booting. Some of the most famous creations during his time with Apple included the system sound sosumi and the Macintosh OS startup sound. However, he was also the one responsible for creating many of the system sounds for Apple's OS. Jim Reekes, a programmer with Apple Computer for 12 years, significantly affected the Mac OS X operating system, most notably System 7 and QuickTime. The sound we're all used to hearing when starting up our Macs has somewhat of a historical value. The Macintosh startup sound, or the “ Chime,” is the single note, or chord (depending on model type) played when a Macintosh computer is turned on.
