In excellent condition and fully functional. Most importantly it has had the essential regulator modification. The instrument has been well looked after, having been kept in a non-smoking and pet-free home studio.
The synth comes with the original user's guide and a suitable UK mains power adapter. If you intend to use it outside the UK you will require a 9VAC 1.3A adapter for your local mains voltage.
Ensoniq's swansong, the FIZMO is an incredibly rare and highly sought-after 48-voice synthesizer which uses 2nd-generation Transwave technology to create very organic sounds unlike any other synth available. The top panel is festooned with realtime controls for many of its features, including the unique and quirky 'F I Z M O' knobs which alter various parameters per patch. It is most revered for its ability to create immense textures and soundscapes, often from just a single note.
For deep diving using a computer, there is a reasonably priced Mac / Windows application available called Fauxmo which is a standalone editor / librarian GUI. It edits the instrument via MIDI in real time.
Please see the photos and make any inquiries about the item before the auction ends. Otherwise the item is sold as seen here and returns will not be accepted outside of VEMIA's standard terms.
The buyer is most welcome to collect in person from Stoke on Trent in the Midlands (halfway between Birmingham and Manchester just off the M6 at J15). I travel to central Birmingham every week, so the buyer may also arrange to collect from there, at my convenience. Otherwise I’ll package it carefully and post after instruction from VEMIA.
