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.
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.
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.
While studying emerging mini- and micro-computers at Stanford University and Foothill College he created a publications department for clinical chemistry analyzer maker Chemetrics.
Now independent, he consulted on MIDI tools for Silicon Graphics, further exploring multi-media design by becoming an early Macromind Director certified developer.
In 1991, while serving as MIDI and Audio Curriculum Director for Cogswell Polytechnical College, semiconductor giant Intel approached Jungleib to invent an unprecedented real-time software music synthesizer—within the limits of personal computing.
As CEO, Jungleib sustained Seer Systems' vision of today's music software development by responding to evolving technical and business realities in four phases.
Thereafter, Seer System's second-generation OEM-licensed instruments enabled half of the functionality of the AWE64 and other sound cards, establishing new software synthesizer distribution quantity records in the tens of millions.
By 1997, corporate issues and shortfalls forced Jungleib to recreate Seer Systems as a 15-person retail operation to distribute its third generation; as an unprecedented professional software synthesizer.
Jungleib liberated audio technology from hardware dependence for consumers and then for professionals, by demonstrating the means to create scalable (adjustable-quality) music and sound for laptops and mobile devices such as phones and tablets.
[8] Jungleib has licensed his system to Microsoft, Yamaha, several cell phone companies, and successfully defended its re-examination after a seven-year challenge by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).
[9] In its 2017, February issue Electronic Musician gave Seer Systems Reality a 2017 Editors’ Choice Legacy Award, terming the 1997 introduction “a game-changing product—an unprecedented achievement—that has shaped the way we make music.” In 2005 Jungleib radically shifted research interest to peculiarly-sensitive semiconductor memories.
Continuing work at SJ Laboratories suggests applications for this technology ranging from adaptive music synthesis to materials processing and nanotechnology, perhaps including functions such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing.
