"The Fizmo is a 48-voice synthesizer which uses 2nd-generation Transwave technology
to create very organic sounds unlike any other synth available. Every programming function has its own dedicated knob or button, and there is a limited but useful 4-character LED display. The Fizmo features an Arpeggiator and 24-bit VLSI effects with 41 algorithms, including a Vocoder and the ability to process incoming audio through the Vocoder and effects. Transwave synthesis uses wavetables of sound data with layered variations in harmonic structures such that their timbres progress naturally from one end to the other. This allows for sounds to modulate over time, or by velocity, wheel, pressure, or any number of other options.
There are 2 oscillators available for each of the 4 presets allowing for 8 unique oscillators at the same time, not to mention individual LFO and Noise generators for each Osc. Another wonderful feature is the ability to stack up to four individual presets together into one sound and map them across the keyboard. This synth is very capable of some very complex sounds.
The built-in Arpeggiator has 118 presets which can be easily edited to your liking, and 26 real-time control/editing knobs make mutating your sound a pleasure. All controls may be recorded in real-time to an external sequencer.
Released in 1998, it features 48-voice polyphony and a vocoder, and is praised for its ability to create complex, evolving pads and textures, particularly in genres like ambient, techno, and EDM.
Transwave Synthesis:The Fizmo utilizes Transwave synthesis, a method of wavetable synthesis where the synthesizer can "sweep" through wavetables of sound data, creating dynamic and evolving timbres.
Unique Sound:It's known for its distinctive, sometimes quirky, sound palette, which has garnered it a dedicated following among musicians seeking unique and experimental sounds.
Features:Beyond its Transwave engine, the Fizmo includes features like a vocoder, an arpeggiator, and a variety of effects, making it a versatile instrument for sound design
