Log in or Register for free Sound On Sound : Est. 1985 Search News Articles Forum SOS TV Subscribe Shop Directory Readers' Adverts Information Blog Ensoniq Fizmo Real-time Transwave Synth Published in SOS March 1999 Reviews : Keyboard Printer-friendly version Ensoniq were at the forefront of workstation and sampling technology in the '80s, but their recent synth offerings have not kept up with the fashion for controller- festooned techno boxes. The Fizmo, however, updates their take on wavetable synthesis with extensive real-time control. Derek Johnson explores further... We've had Swedish, German, Japanese and even British companies doing it -- releasing backward-looking synths using MIDI-driven new technology. However, few American companies have entered the fray. A handful of dedicated developers are producing limited-run modular synths as if the '80s had never happened, and Bob Moog is testing the water with his Moogerfooger range of synth pedals, but it's a surprise to see the first new synth in a while from Ensoniq covered in retro knobs, bedecked with funky colours, and rejoicing in a name that could be described as jazzy, and a sound that could be described as '80s retro. Let's Get Fizzical The paint-job will be the first thing you notice about the Fizmo if you take a test drive, and it caused one or two jaws to drop around here when it was first removed from its box.
