"1993 Ensoniq ASR10 keyboard sampler and full production power house. No wonder these are so celebrated, very fun and easy to use. You'll be producing tracks in no time, without a computer. This unit is in great working condition, we'd give this a 6 out of 10 cosmetically. All buttons, keys and sliders operate as expected. Includes AC power cable and boot disk."

"Ensoniq Fizmo 5U rackmount version, super hard to find these days! This one was just serviced with a NEW voltage regulator (notorious problem) that has been corrected. Factory patches have been restored over Sysex like new. Sounds absolutely insane!

Fully functional unit, main volume control knob is unoriginal (purple cap). Several pot shafts are slightly crooked -- but fully functioning without issue (see detailed pictures). Includes a Lexicon power supply that is to factory spec.

Fizmo rack utilizes real-time Transwave synthesis, a powerful synthesis engine capable of 48-voice polyphony, state-of-the-art 20-bit output converters, 24-bit on-board effects with 41 algorithms including the Ensoniq Vocoder, an arpeggiator with 118 editable patterns."

Ambient Music with an Ensoniq Fizmo

video upload by Christian's Sonic Spaces

"This is ambient music with my Ensoniq Fizmo. All patches I created just on the fly during the recording session, and all stems I recorded live into the DAW.

I used for the recording the following FX chain:
Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe - GFI System Specular Reverb 2. Depending on the recorded track some FX are deactivated or tweaked.

The signal went through a Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 into the PC via USB for recording. To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. The final song was then mastered with a bit EQ and compression on some tracks and iZotope Ozone on the master track."

I remember when the Fizmo came out many were dissapointed it didn't sound like a virtual analog synth. Now it's a bit of a gem.

"Fizmo working great and in very good condition. The power supply has been future proofed to avoid the failures that can happen to them. A few small scratches i tried to highlight. The knobs were looking dry so i conditioned them as shown in the last few pictures, with a shot comparing before and after of a knob."

Ensoniq Fizmo Transwave Digital Synthesizer SN FIZMO-10250 w/ Original Box

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

via this auction

"The Ensoniq 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 LCD display. It’s a synthesizer, pure and simple, designed for the creation of sounds you can’t get anywhere else.

This unit looks and works great and the power regulator has been upgraded. The only flaw I can find is it is missing the clear cover over the LCD Display (See Pictures)"
