EPICOwner's Manual

01Overview

EPIC generates Ensoniq SQ-80 and ESQ-1 programs that learn from a real Ensoniq donor bank, so they sound musical rather than random. Each bank holds 40 programs balanced across ten archetypes: Bass, Lead, Pad, Keys, Pluck, Bell, Organ, Ensemble, Percussion and FX.

Every program is range-checked, checked for audible output and sane levels, and round-trip verified before it is written.

02Quick Start

  1. Choose the Target Instrument and the MIDI Base Channel your synth is set to. Optionally set a Complexity level and an RNG Seed.
  2. Press GENERATE PROGRAM. One free program downloads immediately.
  3. On the synth, go to a program-select page. On the MIDI page set ENABLE = KEYS + CT + PC + SS + SX and the base channel to match.
  4. Send the .syx using a SysEx librarian such as SysEx Librarian, MIDI-OX or Bome SendSX.

03Controls Reference

ControlRange / DefaultFunction
Target InstrumentSQ-80 · ESQ-1 (SQ-80)SQ-80 uses waves 0-74. ESQ-1 restricts programs to the original waves 0-31.
MIDI Base Channel1-16 (1)Channel written into the SysEx header. Set the synth's base channel to match.
Complexity0-100% (60%)Amount of extra modulation routing (FM, AM, filter modulation, LFO use). Low is simple and stable, high is busy and animated.
RNG Seed0-2147483647 (0)Enter a number to reproduce an exact run. 0 gives a fresh random result each time.

04Full Set

One flat payment of $10 delivers 8 banks of 40 programs (320 programs). Each bank is its own All Program Dump .syx with a matching .txt listing of slots, names and settings, all in one ZIP. Send one bank at a time: loading a bank overwrites the 40 internal programs, so back up anything you want to keep first. Purchase requires PayPal payment or a valid access code.
