Ensoniq ESQ 1
- A database of 5,675 ESQ-1 and SQ-80 programs for immediate import to Orm available here.
- An adaptation allowing import of Ensoniq programs. This is now integrated into standard releases of Orm. Further information below.
This adaptation should also work with the Ensoniq ESQ-M and Ensoniq SQ-80, which share sysex messages and program and bank structure with the ESQ-1.
Work started on 24 November 2021.
0.88 version uploaded 30 November 2021.
0.90 version uploaded 4 December 2021. Includes better name translation.
0.91 version uploaded 7 December 2021. Extends name translation to, for example, NUL.
0.92 version uploaded 6 December 2024. Removes the need to manually *EXIT* the input buffer between each program load. Now, when a program is loaded the display defaults to programs 1-10 of the Internal bank, and shows the *C* compare message at bottom left. By pressing the Compare button, users can switch between the just-loaded program or the previously selected program. The loaded program can be written to any location in the usual manner: press the Write button and then select a location to overwrite.
