ENSONIQ SD-1 Demo - "Palette"
YouTube via jamesbooty
""$D-1 PALETTE" is one of the demos included on the sequencer OS disk with the ENSONIQ SD-1 32 voice synthesizer. The song is comprised of 18 sequences.
The opening sequence features the "WIDEPUNCH" and "RUDE-GUITAR" patches. Later we hear "PEDAL-STEEL" and "HARMONICA" and a jazz sequence with "VIBROPHONE" and "ACOUSTIBASS" patches. Following this are some synth patches including "ASCENSION" "NU-MEANING" "OMNIVERSE" "ELEMENTS" and "SD1-PAD" and then the song concludes with a sequence making use of various orchestral patches.
The SD-1 contains two permanent ROM banks of sound programs or "patches" and a third RAM bank into which programs could be loaded from disk. Unlike some demos where patches programmed specifically for the demo are loaded into RAM, this "Palette" demo uses the default "SD1-INTERNAL" RAM patch set.
The sequences that are used in this song are labeled "-A-" through "-S-" and the song steps are A, C, D, E, Q, P, S, R, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O. Interestingly, a sequence labeled "-B-" which shows off more of the "RUDE-GUITAR" patch is loaded into the sequence banks but is not included in the song steps."
