>bad marketing launch it's a crime
But "FIZMO" is just about the best name i've heard for any product

Pity that the Ensoniq peeps never got to release a fully finished version of
it
...i mean the little LED display was a crime

To say it in a few words:

-sid is a kind of very bad digital oscillator (I'm sure wome here could give
us lessons on it ;)
-Fizmo is the latest Ensoniq's impersonation of wavetables ("transwaves")

Fizmo had such a bad marketing launch it's a crime. I want one one dayS
He's so VIOLET. :)
