These are CRAZY! ALL of the hidden waveforms on the Ensoniq ESQ-1

video upload by CGMAGIK

"I got the EPROM for the ESQ-1 that enables you to access the hidden waveforms 33-255. A small handful of them are pretty normal sounding, but the majority are really quite amazingly insane. It's like a broken ATARI 2600 or something. It gives the Ensoniq a strange 8-bit game console sampler kind of vibe. I'm looking forward to making some interesting and unique patches using some of these.

Watch at your own risk. Haha. It's an epic journey through some not very chill and friendly sounds."

Ensoniq ESQ 1 First Look | Synth Discussion | Live Studio Performance

video upload by Dr. Synthy Pants

"Electric-soul, tone-shadows,
Whispers of magic where circuits breathe deep.

What mysteries hum in the ESQ-1's core?

Wave-whispers, tone-shivers,
Hands explore, shaping the unseen into sound.

OSCILLATE
SHAPE
TRANSFORM

A hidden voice rises from circuits deep,
and my heart sings, alive and unbound."

PlantsSystem-Faithful emulation of the Ensoniq SQ-80 - VST instrument "SQ8L"

video upload by plantssystem

"This video focuses on the sound and functions of the VST plug-in 'SQ8L' (developed by Siegfried Kullmann), which faithfully reproduces the sound source architecture of the hybrid digital synthesizer 'Ensoniq SQ-80' that was released in 1987, and examines it from various angles, from preset playback to sound creation.

The SQ-80 is known for its unique sound character that combines lo-fi digital waveforms (8-bit single-cycle waveforms) with analog CEM filters, and has been used in a variety of genres such as synthwave, industrial, and film music. "SQ8L" reproduces this digital waveform ROM, envelope, LFO, and multi-timbral functions with high precision, allowing you to re-experience the charm of the old SQ series in a modern DAW environment.

This demo uses PlayOnLinux on WattOS, a lightweight Linux distribution, to wrap Windows VST plug-ins with MiniHost Modular and run them. It also works stably under Wine, and is a useful example of VST operation in a Linux environment.

Experience the charm of an 80's hybrid synth, where the roughness of digital and the warmth of analog intersect."

"Step into synth heaven with this vintage Ensoniq ESQ-1—a true hybrid legend that blends digital oscillators with warm analog-style filters for a sound that’s as rich as it is raw. From lush pads and biting basses to shimmering leads and textured sequences, this 8-voice polyphonic powerhouse still holds its own in any modern studio."

"This synth has one of the most amazing features I've never seen before, which I am surprised it didn't catch on! Cost? IT IS CONSTANTLY RECORDING!!! How awesome is that?! How many times have you been playing, without recording, and later not remembering what exactly it was, because you were so caught up in the clouds...

Not only can this thing recall your last play, but the last many!!! And when it runs out of space, it starts recording over in that order, like a loop camera!"

Early Model Ensoniq Fizmo Transwave Digital Synthesizer

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

via this listing

"I was the Product Manager for FIZMO at Ensoniq in 1998, right before they were swallowed up by Creative Labs. This is actually one of the very first FIZMO’s to come off of the production line. When I saw it I immediately panicked! There was no silk screening for the I/o on the back of the keyboard! A few of these were manufactured this way and they were given to me and some of the customer support team at the time. It also includes the OG Radio Shack Adapter which we used in-house until the production adapters arrived.

I haven’t used it in years but I just fired it up. I do have the red plastic cover for the display. It needs to be glued back on. The unit is fully functional and works with the fantastic FAUXMO Editor which I have a copy of. Here’s one of the most unique synths ever produces and a piece of Ensoniq history."

"For sale is a rare vintage Ensoniq Fizmo Transwave digital keyboard synthesizer. This is a cool unique sounding synth. Includes external wall-wart power supply. Previous owner mentioned that the common rectifier issue has already been repaired. It's tested and working but has some minor issues. The screen appears to have some minor damage to it (still functional) and the envelope section does not appear to function properly (could be user error, but some settings it does not seem to apply the ADSR as expected). Due to these issues it is sold as-is, no refunds, returns, warranties or guarantees. Priced lower accordingly. Otherwise everything appears to be working as it should and it's still very usable and sounds nice."

"Ensoniq - FIZMO (s/n FIZMO-10499) Reasonably good condition apart from discolouration of the keys and the top C key has lost it’s tip. All working. The FIZMO was released in 1998 and is a digital 48 voice transwave synth with three effect processors. Note: There is a Euro socket size cutout on the back panel, that looks like at some point someone fitted a power supply inside, but none of this exists now, so the cutout is covered over, and so it is back to the original external AC adaptor power (supplied -UK plug). No owners manual, but it is easily found and downloadable from the internet. VEMIA can collect. Packing 18GBP."
