FREE SYNTH: ENSONIQ SD-1 Emulator (by Sojus Records) - No talking demo

video upload by ADL-MusicLab

"Hello everyone!

Here's to you my 'No talking demo' of this FREE emulation of the Ensoniq SD-1 developed by Sojus Records, which brings back to life this iconic synthesizers!

This VST3 plugin is a faithful, hardware-level emulation of one of the most unique digital synthesizers of the early ’90s.

Originally released in 1990, the Ensoniq SD-1 comes from a lineage of evolving Transwave wavetable synthesizers, following the ESQ-1, SQ-80, and VFX series. It combines additive-style waveform layering with powerful modulation, placing it alongside classics like the PPG Wave and Waldorf Microwave in the world of hybrid digital synthesis.

This "MAME-based" VST3 plugin brings the SD-1/32 to life inside your DAW for the first time. Despite being a proof-of-concept, it is already fully functional and incredibly deep.

The demo showcases some of the presets created directly from the engine – from lush pads and evolving textures to digital timbres and analog-style patches. Each patch can layer up to 6 waveforms from the original ROM, shaped by dual multi-mode filters, complex envelopes, LFOs, and an extensive modulation matrix. The built-in effects processor adds classic reverb, chorus, flanging, and delay.

Key features of the plugin include:
• Full VST3 support (Windows & macOS, Intel + ARM)
• Complete MIDI implementation including polyphonic aftertouch
• Full VST automation (all controls)
• Import of original VFX / VFX-SD / SD-1 SysEx files
• Resizable GUI with multiple panel layouts
• Support for original disk images and cartridges
• Optional multi-output routing (main + aux)
• Built-in sequencer support (with original OS disk)
• And much more...

⚠️ Important: This plugin requires original Ensoniq SD-1 ROM files (not included for copyright reasons). Please check the documentation for setup instructions.

⚠️ Note: Due to the nature of the emulation, CPU usage can be high and only one instance can run per DAW session.

This project is an exciting step toward preserving and reimagining classic digital synthesizers in modern workflows. If you’re into vintage gear, wavetable synthesis, or rare digital textures, this is definitely worth exploring.

Introducing the Temecula DSP DEEP/4

video uploads by TemeculaDSP

via Temecula DSP

DEEP/4 is a painstaking recreation of one of the most powerful multi-effects processors ever built. Every algorithm has been rebuilt at the instruction level from the original 24-bit DSP hardware, preserving the exact digital character of the algorithms that made these units legendary in studios worldwide.

All 43 original algorithms, mathematically verified against the original DSP architecture. No guesswork.

Features

Four Independent Effects Engines

The DEEP/4 is a powerhouse multi-effects processor featuring 43 fully programmable, high-fidelity algorithms including reverbs, chorus, flanging, delays, distortion, and pitch shifting. Operate it as a single massive effects system, a pair of stereo processors, or four entirely independent units. Its advanced routing matrix supports true serial, parallel, and feedback configurations to sculpt complex effect topologies that conventional units simply can't touch.
Flexible Multi-Unit Routing

Run all four units in series for massive effect chains, split them into parallel paths for layered textures, or use feedback routing to create evolving, self-modulating soundscapes. DEEP/4 provides independent routing control for each pair (A/B and C/D) plus a main bus link — supporting serial, parallel, and two feedback configurations with adjustable feedback amount. Use it as a single 4-unit processor, two independent stereo pairs, or four standalone effects.
43 Algorithms Across 7 Categories

From lush reverbs and complex multi-tap delays to pitch shifters, dynamics processors, and guitar amp simulations — every algorithm from the original hardware is here, rebuilt at the instruction level and fully programmable.

"This listing is for a vintage 1980's Ensoniq ESQ-1 Analog/Digital Polyphonic Synthesizer Workstation that comes with an Ensoniq Sequencer Expander Cartridge and power cord. This synthesizer is in good physical and working condition. The winning bidder will receive exactly what is pictured.

The Ensoniq ESQ-1 is a 61-key, velocity sensitive, eight-note polyphonic and multitimbral synthesizer released by Ensoniq in 1985. It was marketed as a "digital wave synthesizer" but is actually an early music workstation. Although its voice generation is typically subtrative in much the same fashion as most analog synthesizer that preceded it, its oscillators are neither voltage nor digitally controlled, but true digital oscillators, provided by a custom Ensoniq wavetable chip. The signal path includes analog resonant low-pass filters and an analog amplifier.

RetroSound Studio Tour: Vintage Digital Synthesizers

video upload by RetroSound

"RetroSound Studio Tour:
Legendary Vintage Digital & Hybrid Synthesizers of the 80s and early 90s

In this episode of RetroSound Studio, I explore classic digital synthesizers that revolutionized electronic music production during the 80s and early 90s. From FM synthesis and wavetable synthesis to vector synthesis, PD synthesis, vitual analog and Roland’s LA synthesis, these instruments introduced a new generation of sound design and defined the sonic identity of an era.

The Yamaha DX7 became one of the best-selling synthesizers of all time, defining FM electric pianos and metallic digital textures. The PPG Wave pioneered wavetable synthesis, laying the foundation for modern digital sound engines. The Sequential Prophet VS introduced vector synthesis, allowing dynamic blending between digital waveforms. The Roland D-50 shaped late-80s pop and film scoring with its LA synthesis architecture, while the Roland JD-800 brought hands-on control back to digital synthesis in the 1990s.

These digital synthesizers shaped genres such as synth-pop, new wave, ambient, house, techno, trance, and film music. Today, they remain highly sought after by producers, collectors, and sound designers researching vintage digital synthesizers, 80s keyboard sounds, virtual analog, classic FM synthesis, and wavetable history."
