About

ENSONIQ SQ-R is a PCM synth with unique waveform modulation capability called Transwave. It's a descendant of the legendary VFX series, which are the first Transwave synthesizer.

I made an SQ-R editor for Emagic SoundDiver that better supports the later versions like SQ-R plus 32 voice. To use my editor, you need SoundDiver.
See the links below for detailed info, downloads, and .mp3 sound examples.

* Ensoniq released many versions of SQ-R series, and also released SQ-80, a completely different synthesizer before them. To simplify the matter, here I use "SQ" and "SQ-R" as representative of the newer SQ-R series that excludes SQ-80.
