Ensoniq SQ2
The SQ-2 features 125 sampled and synthetic wavesforms that can be used to create a range of instrument sounds, a Megabyte of 16 bit piano waveforms and transwaves synthesis which provides a dynamic and moving sound. Reverb, chorusing, flanging, phasing, distortion, and rotoray speaker patches are provided with control over many of the parameters. The Mod wheel can change the size of the room, for example, or add more distortion by assigning it to velocity. There is a 16-track sequencer that can be used in real-time step recording.
