Guest Mechanicom Posted February 18, 2002 Posted February 18, 2002 Fizmo...now this synth KICKS ASS big time!!! - Never sell it...its classic!! - make sure you change the psu though! Quote
Guest parhelion Posted February 19, 2002 Posted February 19, 2002 yeah, this synth is TOTALLY unique...I've never heard anything like it...the ultimate ambient synth Quote
Guest Inu Posted February 20, 2002 Posted February 20, 2002 Am I correct in assuming that Transwave got their name from the Fizmo's "Transwave Synthesis"? Quote
Guest Andreas of Amygdala Posted February 20, 2002 Posted February 20, 2002 Wow - Transwave? I want one... Where can I lay my greedy phalangies on it? And what kind of synth is it...? Never heard about it before... Quote
Guest etherdesign Posted February 20, 2002 Posted February 20, 2002 Nah Transwave was out before this synth was released.. Quote
Guest etherdesign Posted February 20, 2002 Posted February 20, 2002 You can learn all about Fizmo at the Fizmo Users Group You'll have to look for a second hand one since Ensoniq doesn't make them anymore. So look on ebay or the sonicstate.com classifieds. Transwaves are wavetables (ala PPG and Microwave) but instead of being one waveform in each position on the table, the waveforms on a Transwave synth have multiple loop points, so it's like a wavetable within a wavetable.

Guest Andreas of Amygdala Posted February 21, 2002 Posted February 21, 2002 "the waveforms on a Transwave synth have multiple loop points, so it's like a wavetable within a wavetable." - you can do that with wavetables as well - on the microwave XT, i believe it's possible to insert waveforms in 5 of the 62 slots...? Quote
Guest etherdesign Posted February 21, 2002 Posted February 21, 2002 but you can only insert one waveform into each slot, with one loop, with a Transwave synth, you can have a waveform that has multiple loops.. for instance on an XT, each wavetable has 64 slots for different waveforms.. ( ) will be the loop points... (////) one slot on a normal wavetable synth (////)(_/_/_/)(_____) etc. on a transwave synth.. after the first sound is played it continues to the next and of course there are all sorts of modulation as to how long each plays and when each one is played and when it moves on to the next slot.. so it's basically a wavetable within each slot of the wavetable.. I don't think I'm explaining it too well, it's kinda complex.. but that's the jist of it. Quote
Colin OOOD Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 Fizmo....I want one...or two... Keep an eye out for secondhand Ensoniq EPS16 PLUS samplers, or the ASR10 rackmount version. You can do transwave synthesis with samples on those... making twisted fucked up melodic lead sounds out of drumloops is one speciality. It's all over our first two albums - it's difficult to program but recommended. Quote
Rupture Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 there's a fizmo for sale right now @ ebay http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt...A:IT&ih=016 Quote
snowball Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 I hate you colin....you just gave me another synth to drool on....it never ends man... kryptum!! man I hate you too. just a click away,but I cant have her.... I tried to grab her through the screen,but I failed!!! *throws a tantrum Quote
snowball Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 doubly post.... I never liked ebay you know...I dont know why,but I never it never clicked...I guess I'll have to use it one day if I really intend to get something "old".... for example this fizmo kryptum posted. there was this guy that was leading the auction at 505eur.now,20secs before it ends there is this guy that comes and raises the sum to 655eur(and he wins,the auction ended)!!! Fuuuuuuuck.....I feel sorry for that guy...it slipped right out of his fingers!!! ps:655eur...that is waaay too much.... a new fizmo went for around 900dollars when it was released. and its no vintage so why is the price this high!!! /e-bay rant over/ Quote
Rupture Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 yeah ebay can be shitty on that...it's not the first time something similiar happens with me and indeed it sucks. still,you can find some really nice deals once in while... i've found a music shop near me that has one fizmo for sale,ex-demo,but they want 889€ for it!
