Ensoniq SQ-80 CrossWave Synthesizer

"vintage synth demo by RetroSound

some typical self-made and factory sounds from the Ensoniq SQ-80 Cross Wave Synthesizer from 1987;

SQ-80 = 75 digital 8-bit waveforms + analog curtis filter, Osc-Sync, Ringmodulation (AM)...

The SQ-80 is very underrated, easy to program and really nice for PPG Wave and Prophet VS like sounds but nevertheless particularly in sound. The perfect machine for ambient music or horror movie soundtracks.
