Ensoniq SQ1 Plus Review - Equipment Reviews

The Ensoniq SQ1 Plus combines a great sounding synthesizer, 24-bit digital effects, and a powerful 16 track sequencer featuring full mixdown capabilities. Together, they form a Personal Music Studio for your home.

The Ensoniq SQ1 Plus synthesizer section features 100 high fidelity sounds contained in ROM (Read Only Memory), with 80 additional slots in Internal Memory for sounds you create or edit.
Optional RAM or ROM cards allow access to 160 more sounds, for a massive 340 available at one time.

Each SQ1 Plus sound is created with three digital oscillators utilizing 124 sampled acoustic and synthetic waves, as well as Ensoniq's unique Transwaves which possess great harmonic complexity and timbral motion.

The complement to this wide palette of tonal colors is an on-board programmable digital effects processor that adds a dimension of breadth and depth to each SQ1 Plus sound.

Various reverb, chorusing, flanging, delay, distortion, and even roto-speaker programs are provided with dynamic control over many of the settings.

The onboard 16 track sequencer blends ease-of-use with advanced editing features generally found only in dedicated software sequencing programs.

It can record 9,000 notes (expandable to 58,000) with 96 pulses per quarter note clock resolution for dead-steady timekeeping.

It will store up to 70 sequences, which can be combined into 30 songs.

After recording tracks, editing features such as Quantization, Track Shifting, and Step Editing help you shape your music in ways you may have thought impossible, and always with the ability to audition your changes before making a decision.

The autopunch feature allows you to set punch-in and punch-out points for hands free recording, just like in professional sound studios.

Each track of the sequencer can play internal sounds from the SQ1 Plus sounds from external devices, or both, with each having its own MIDI channel, MIDI program number, MIDI Status, and adjustable output level.

The sequencer track buttons also allow you to combine multiple internal and external sounds to create your own layers, splits, and overlaps to enhance your performance.

This enables the SQ1 Plus to act as a controller for a complete MIDI system.

The SQ1 Plus uses credit card-style memory cards to store its sound and sequencer data.

Sounds and sequencer data can also be saved via MIDI System Exclusive to any MIDI device which accepts and stores such data. 🎶All things Deep Note: https://linktr.ee/deepnote
