      Hi Syn-Fi,

      Thanks for that. I thought the DP4 and DP4+ were ESP and the DP/Pro, DP/2 and Fizmo were ESP2? Shows how little I know 😉

      Jon Dattoro famously reverse engineered and published one of the Lexicon reverb algos too (he worked for Lexicon before Ensoniq) – the main verb in the DP4 is heavily Lexi 224 related. Lexicon sued him unsuccessfully, and Dave Griesinger even acknowleged that the algo was right-on.

      He told a friend of mine by email that while he didn’t work on the DP/Pro he thinks they probably reused his code as a jumping-off point and then developed it further – reverb engineering can be a LOT of work, that stuff doesn’t just fall from the sky 😉

      I’m wondering if the Sysex for the effects int he Fizmo might relate to the DP/Pro? Pure guess/desperation. Thesoniq.com doesn’t have the documentation either.

      Got a few more people to try and ask….

      Thanks all. Sorry for the OT discussions – hope the Fizmo panel goes well, always liked that unit.

      Cheers all,

      P

        Thanks Puppeteer, although I suspect they retooled it all for the Dp/Pro as it was on the newer ESP2 hardware. I thought the effects from the Fizmo were supposed to be related to the DP/Pro but I might be wrong?
        Sure lots of people would LOVE a DP/4 editor though, there are loads around and it’s a great unit….

          Hi all. I’m a Ctrlr newbie. I own an Ensoniq DP/Pro – at some point I had planned to maybe try and tackle that – no idea if I’m up to it, am planning on building my first panel for another simpler piece of gear but haven’t started yet so my comments should be taken in the light of the fact I have zero experience with Ctrlr.
          Like seemingly everyone else I can’t find the Sysex implementation notes. Am I right in thinking the Fizmo shares some commonality with the Dp-Pro? If so I’m guessing it might be possible to use some of the Fizmo info for a jumping off point…
          Anyone got any Sysex info for the Dp/PRo or the Fizmo they’d be willing to share?
          I’m going to email thesoniq and see if they have anything.
          Cheers all
