Jump for joy!

#SQ8L, an #VST #plugin emulator of the #Ensoniq #ESQ80 #Synthesizer running on #UbuntuStudio #Linux 24.04 via #LinVST in #Carla plugin host. Needs #Wine.

All I had to do is wait. The plugin locks up Carla (and probably even Jack) for about half a minute.

So most likely it is trying to do something that ends in a time-out. When opening the GUI a second time, it pops up instantly.

Any idea on how to find out what this old #VSTi from 2008 is waiting for?

Btw., nerds:

$> file SQ8L.dll
SQ8L.dll: PE32 executable (DLL) (GUI) Intel 80386, for MS Windows, 7 sections

Feels a bit like Christmas.

The ESQ-80 basically was an extended/upgraded version of the #ESQ1, with the most obvious feature being a diskette drive in addition to the memory cartridge slot. But also, Ensoniq had changed the dumb old home-organ-style keyboard by one with responsive action and polyphonic aftertouch.

I wish I could get this to run… (Screenshot stolen).

#SQ8L is a #plugin emulation of the #Ensoniq #SQ80 #Synthesizer.

Actually it does run a bit, I can play it via MIDI in #Carla, but this very old Windows #VST just crashes as soon as I want to open the GUI. I'm using #LinVST on #UbuntuStudio #Linux 24.04 and whenever a Windows plugin has trouble, it is due to the GUI needing #Wine.

Other elderly 32bit #VSTi plugins do work in my system.

This piece of software has not been updated since June 2008 and you can download it from here: buchty.net/ensoniq/

So now I'll keep on waiting for the spare parts for my #ESQ1 to arrive from China.

It's astonishing that this Ensoniq synth series isn't that popular today, because the sounds are quite unique. Perhaps it is due to the rather ugly user interface.

Or, more likely, it is because people don't want unique synths, they want that Behringer Moog copy and pretend it's somewhen in the 70ties.

Oddy-Free by Roberson Audio x86 VSTI Windows No longer available free download

Oddy-Free is an emulation of an Arp Odyssey Mk.II.

Much attention to detail was given in the layout of the signal path to have it behave as accurately as possible.
It does have just a touch more umph than most originals would - this particular emulation was based
