Mapping the Ensoniq Fizmo

Dave Cornutt has taken on the daunting task of mapping out the Ensoniq FIZMO's MIDI implementation.

"I've done a bunch more work on identifying how to edit Fizmo patches via MIDI. I've got the NRPNs worked out for about half of the sound parameters, including some of the ones not accessible from the panel. I'll post an update in a few days with all of the ones I've managed to identify. The internal architecture turns out to have some similarities to the Ensoniq MR series."

"Another interesting experiment with only original live created MS-20 / MS-50 sounds (incl. beat), no FX at all!

The SQ-10 triggers and sequences all synths:
- The MS-50 plays a rythmic bass pattern (SQ-10 channel A+B).
- The MS-20 plays another rythmic pattern using 2 different tuned VCO's, also sequenced by channel A+B, but using the inverted signal, which also goes through the MS-50 integrator for portamento purposes. EG1 controls the VCO frequency and swaps between 2 CV values every 32(!) steps, by using step 1 trigger output (which triggers once every 8 steps) divided by 4 (MS-50 divider) to generate a trigger once every 32 steps.
- The other MS-20 plays a simple beat, a bass drum with hi-hat pattern (channel C)."
