Ensoniq FIZMO

via this auction

"This particular board does not feature the dreaded LM2940 regulator which has been known to fry many Fizmos. Instead, this Fizmo has the L4940V5 regulator which, according to my investigating, was installed by the Ensoniq factory as a revision. Very rare."

A fast theme

YouTube via attorks

"An uptempo piece of sequencer music. The first sequence you hear is performed by the Synthesizers.com Modular using the CGS Steiner filter. The second sequence is performed by the MFM Modular using the Synthesizers.com Q150 filter. The AKAI AX80 is on chord memory so I can use one note to play chords. The AX80 also controls the pitch of the Synthesizers.com sequence. The difficulty was that the scale to play the chords and change the Synthesizers.com pitch (in Cm) was 2 semitones below the scale for the solo (in Dm). But I didn't wanted to scale down the Doepfer MAQ16/3 which would involve retuning all the knobs. The solo is performed on the Korg 900PS with the Funky Trumpet preset. In the last section the pitch bend switch is engaged."
