Off to the side, but worth mentioning :

One of the synth highlights from last year.

I started on the emulation of this family of Ensoniq synthesizers long ago, and they finally got pulled over the finish line by contributor Christian Brunschen. By way of a victory lap, here's one of the songs from Ensoniq's "Multi-Product Demo Disk". It's a bunch of short segments, each in a different musical style. In several cases you will not guess what's coming next!

This family of synths has their core embedded in a bunch of Taito games from the 1990s, including all of the games on the F3 System board.

The other emulated working Ensoniq brand synth that contributor Christian Brunschen had in working shape in MAME in 2025. Folks doing comparisons with emulation versus actual equipment.
