Uses Of An Easel

"Here are 7 short contrasting styles of music that I’ve explored with the BEMI Music Easel. It seems to be able to go a lot of different places and keeps me ever curious. Enjoy!"

Ensoniq Fizmo Transwave Synthesizer

"The beautiful and enigmatic Ensoniq Fizmo, transwave synthesizer. All metal construction bar two plastic end cheeks. In pristine condition apart from a tiny mark to the metal surface near the modwheel (see photos). Supplied with a new 9v AC 2ma power supply from Line6 (the Px-2).

Will put up some sounds later but this does not sound like PPG, Waldorf Microwave or even Access Virus wavetable. Instead you have 4mb of 'transwaves' and you can move through frames of sounds with much more fluidity. Instead of the spiky quality of PPG/waldorf wavetable you get buzzy, evolving sounds as well as the usual bell-like sounds that are typical to wavetable synths. The organs are very good on this as are the sound-beds.

It's certainly not a '1st-synth' or a 'go-to' synth, more like that something that can add something unusual the mix. Its very easy to pull off tangerine dream type sounds, because of the excellent arpeggiator. The effects are also special and courtesy of a separate DSP chip with the effects derived from the DP4/DP-Pro effects units..even now the effects beat anything you get on-board with the Virus or Waldorf synth. The 'filter' is digital but very resonant. The keys are 'Fatar'' semi-weighted with after-touch.

All pots/encoders have been cleaned, the unit has been cleaned inside. The keys are white and have not yellowed at all. I am the second owner, it has not been in gigged and has been stored/used in a smoke-free environment."

No mention if it has the regulator fix.
