Just wondering if anyone has made any templates for Ensoniq synths. I have quite a few Ensoniqs and was looking for editors. I don’t own an Electra One, but am highly intrigued by it.

How hard is it to make templates for it? Does Electra One have a midi learn?

I am planning to make a preset for DP/4, possibly ASR10/88 (if I bring it back to life). Most Ensoniqs use NRPN and SysEx. I do not see any problems with making a preset for them.

Yes, Electra has MIDI learn, and can recognize even NRPN and SysEx messages.

Does anyone have the full sysex specs for the DP/4 or DP4+ ?  
You won’t find this in the musicians or ref manual.

I somehow managed to get some but many pages are missing and I am not able to find the full doc.  
I think writing to ensoniq is not going to work 🙂

I have exactly the same thing, just in a single document. It was easy to get and I do not think there is anything else available. At least as far as I know.

ah ok. I am trying on a fb group and on a forum.  
but otherwise there is at least enought to sort the puzzle.

btw this 2 byte nybles are kind of hard to work with with lua.  
At least for me on my noobish level. 🙂

I have an esq 1, DP/4, VFX SD, fizmo and an eps 16. The dp4 editor for ipad is very cool with using the xy touch pad as a mod source, but other features are lacking.

The defective records dp/4 and fizmo editors are amazing, but computer only. Knob per function controllers would be very welcomed in my studio 🙂

Would anyone be able to get visual representations of the ESQ 1 envelopes on that preset? I actually find the ESQ 1 a breeze to program, but having some sort of visual of the envelopes would be great.

Would also love a VFX SD preset at some point. Absolutely love that machine.
