Ensoniq Fizmo on the Big Screen - Füür oder Flamme - a Swiss Movie



This one is in vis swissdoc who had the following to say:

"The movie is titled "Füür oder Flamme" and from 2002. See this link for details.

Heinz (Stefan Gubser) and Olaf (Manuel Löwensberg) love the same woman Tina (Mona Petri). Heinz is a marketing guy and Olaf is a musician delivering pizza for a living.

The first shots are in his loft, where he is recording music (see the DAW on hte monitors) and later playing it to Tina. Later he is moving into the flat of Heinz, which is shown in the two final shots. Here the Fizmo can be seen in it's full glory. Story wise they end up as all three plus a baby in the flat of Heinz."

Synthark VFXy massive programmer for Ensoniq SD1 & VFX

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.


via this listing

"This is a beautiful box of knobs and sliders. Hand built per order by Synthark and made specifically for the Ensoniq SD1 and VFX synths. This was just made for me and I paid about $700 for it but I have a lot more gear and just don't use this synth as much as a lot of my other stuff. I only used this for maybe 20 minutes total. NO SYNTH comes with this purchase. You get the freshly built programmer and a plug to power it. I can provide all the info that I got from Synthark about this programmer. These are not even listed on their website!!! Made specifically for my studio but.... yeah. One thing to note is Ensoniq synths need to be retriggered to hear changes made."

Vertigo Inspired Visuals // 80’s Samplers // Analog Delay Pedals // Electronic Music // Synth Topics


video upload by Saul Stokes - Frequensea

"In Episode 4, Saul Stokes draws inspiration from Hitchcock’s Vertigo, creating a stunning live-manipulated spiralesque video art set to deep meditative, daw-free electronic music. Midway through the performance, Stokes takes a few moments to delve into how Vertigo earned the title of 'First Computer Animation.' Some of his discussion will center around the notable designer and director Saul Bass, computer artist John Whitney, San Francisco,1958, and the Ensoniq Mirage, as seen through the eyes of Severed Heads and Skinny Puppy. Even if these references may seem unfamiliar, Stokes seamlessly weaves music, visuals, and topics together in a highly entertaining and relaxing manner. Kick back and let the music and visual art wash over you!"

Ensoniq EPS ambient pads


video upload by MIDERA

"Sampled in a sound from the Sequential Prophet 10. Realized only tonight how to layer multiple sounds that could play simultaneously. Was about to give up on the EPS, but I think there's a lot of stuff it can do that is interesting. This was one of those things."

Scrambled messages | Ensoniq Mirage drum and keys

"Hey - what more do you need? It's the Mirage. It sounds better than any other sampler out there. It's not really a sampler though is it? It's like an 8 bit FX processor that turns everything into something better."

Feels like forever | Ensoniq Mirage downtempo track


video upload by MIDERA

"I guess I didn't really realize what day it was, but when speaking to my brother he reminded me. It was 3 months ago that my mom passed away. It's kind of fitting that the piano sound that is in this track sounds just like our old out of tune piano at my old house (the piano is now gone, I don't know what happened to it). Every Sunday I still get this "oh, I gotta get ready - Mom's going to call me." moment, before I realize that I never will get those Sunday night calls again. I think for the rest of my life I'll at least think to some degree that she's going to call me. Of course, I've certainly realized just how quick time goes by. It doesn't feel like more than a week ago, and yet, it feels like forever ago. Our brains must have the hardest time processing time. At least mine does.

Well, as you've guessed - I re-bought my old Ensoniq Mirage. And wow it took me hours to remember how to use the thing (still can't quite figure out how to select upper and lower patches). I compared the Mirage to the EPS as well - and geez, it's almost no comparison. The Mirage sounds like way better than the EPS, but the EPS is way easier to use. I kinda think if one thing had to go it would be the EPS. I like what it can do, and the ease with which it can do it, but if the end result isn't entirely inspiring, I'd be reaching for the Mirage 90% of the time. But... maybe the EPS has some tricks up its sleeves. What I find the Mirage does is somehow manage to sound broken, out of tune, and at the same time have this nice hi-fi sound. The EPS sounds muffled in comparison (I actually re-wrote this track sampling into the EPS the same way, but decided not to include it in this track... maybe that was a mistake).

Ensoniq EPS as a synthesizer | Sampling the Spectralis 2 monosynth


video upload by MIDERA

"One feature of the Mirage I’ve always liked was bringing in a simple wave and using it like a synthesizer. I think the Ensoniq EPS is actually a little more interesting because of how easy it is to edit the sample loop start and end to create completely glitched out sounds that can basically be played in real time, if a little awkward to manage at times with the buttons versus sliders/knobs. This is what I’m doing towards the end of this patch I made.

Weatherstruck | Ensoniq EPS sampler downtempo electronic somberwave


video upload by MIDERA

"Today, I traded something small (Polyend Tracker) for something big (Ensoniq EPS). I kind of don't know what I was thinking. I knew I was overwhelmed with gear. But I've been debating buying an Ensoniq Mirage again and wondered if this (EPS) would suffice. I'm kind of thinking... yeah, maybe. It's doing everything I felt I did with the Mirage, only in an easier way. It's a higher bitrate, but it's still pretty chunky. I'm liking it. This is after digging around on it for one night, so I don't know if what I did sounds any good. I guess I like it, so that's good enough for me. I have no disks to save the sounds on, so I think this will have to say goodbye and be gone forever.

Still - I'm pretty impressed. The Ensoniq EPS gets dumped on. Not as much character as the Mirage, not as good as the EPS16 plus, and definitely not as good as the ASR10. To me, it seems like it's actually the worst one of the bunch. In no way did I find anyone recommending the EPS over the others mentioned above.

Well, I like it. It was pretty easy to make this and I think it's got some character, in a very similar way as the Mirage. One thing that didn't make sense was that it appears to be stereo based on the outputs, but I'm not sure it actually is.
