* Ensoniq Soundscape, a soundcard produced by Ensoniq Corp.

Ensoniq Corp. was an American electronics manufacturer, best known throughout the mid 1980s and 1990s for its musical instruments, principally samplers and synthesizers.

In January 1998, ENSONIQ Corp. was acquired by Creative Technology Ltd. for $ 77 million, and merged with E-mu Systems to form the E-Mu / Ensoniq division.

The Apple IIGS used a digital sound chip designed for the Ensoniq Mirage synthesizer, and later models used a custom sound system and upgraded processors, which drove other companies to improve their own offerings.

The first low-cost MIDI sampler was the Ensoniq Mirage, introduced in 1984.

The 68EC000 was used as a controller in many audio applications, including Ensoniq musical instruments and sound cards where it was part of the MIDI synthesizer.

On Ensoniq sound boards, the controller provided several advantages compared to competitors without a CPU on board.

The first music synthesizer workstations from Ensoniq, the ESQ-1 as well as SQ-80, used one 68B09E as their main CPU.

The technique was first developed by Wolfgang Palm of PPG in the late 1970s and published in 1979, and has since been used as the primary synthesis method in synthesizers built by PPG and Waldorf Music and as an auxiliary synthesis method by Sequential Circuits, Ensoniq, Korg, Access and Dave Smith Instruments among others.

In 1998, Creative acquired Ensoniq Corporation, manufacturer of the AudioPCI, a card popular with OEMs at the time.

Creative released many cards using the original AudioPCI chip, Ensoniq ES1370, and several boards using revised versions of this chip ( ES1371 and ES1373 ), and some with relabeled AudioPCI chips ( they say Creative on them.

Such boards include Sound Blaster PCI64 ( April 1998 ), PCI128 ( July 1998 ), Creative Ensoniq AudioPCI, Vibra PCI and Sound Blaster 16 PCI.

Hardware samplers manufactured by Akai, Yamaha and Ensoniq were also popular for sample storage and manipulation.

The SID was devised by engineer Robert " Bob " Yannes, who later co-founded the Ensoniq digital synthesizer company.

It was also the first personal computer to come with a built-in " wavetable " sample-based synthesizer chip, utilizing technology from Ensoniq.

Audio was generated by a built-in sound and music synthesizer in the form of the Ensoniq Digital Oscillator Chip ( DOC ), which had its own dedicated RAM and 32 separate channels of sound.

The Apple IIGS ' sound was provided by an Ensoniq ES5503 DOC wavetable sound chip, the same chip used in Ensoniq Mirage and Ensoniq ESQ-1 professional-grade synthesizers.

Apple Records considered the inclusion of the Ensoniq chip in the IIGS as a violation of that agreement.

In terms of hardware, the new motherboard was a cleaner design that drew less power and resolved audio noise issues that interfered with the Ensoniq synthesizer in the original motherboard.

Bob Yannes, creator of the SID synthesizer chip used in the Commodore 64, went on to design the Ensoniq 5503 DOC synthesizer used in the Apple IIGS.

In the United States, a new sampler company called Ensoniq introduced the Ensoniq Mirage in 1985, at a price that made sampling affordable to the average musician for the first time.

The musical score in the original version was designed to exploit the unique 15-voice Ensoniq music synthesizer in the Apple II computer.

E-mu Emulator II ( 1984 ) was designed to bridge the gap between the Fairlight CMI and Synclavier and the Ensoniq Mirage.

Towards the end of the DOS gaming era, every game supported the Ensoniq Soundscape.

No matter how determined or wealthy boating lovers of the Southwest had been, for example, they could never have created anything approaching the fifty square-mile Lake Texoma, located between Texas and Oklahoma, which resulted when the Corp of Army Engineers dammed the Red River.

During this period he also completed his first public buildings, the Jyväskylä Workers ' Club in 1925, the Jyväskylä Defence Corps building in 1926 and the Seinajoki Defence Corp building in 1924-29.

On July 19, 2011, Aon announced that it bought Westfield Financial Corp., the owner of insurance-industry consulting firm Ward Financial Group, from Ohio Farmers Insurance Co. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Atari Corp .' s later XE Games System revisited the idea of a console based on the 400 / 800 hardware.

On January 1, 1992, Atari Corp. formally announced that production of the Atari 7800, the Atari 2600, the Atari 8-bit computer line, and the Atari XE Game System would cease.

By the time of the cancellation, Nintendo's NES dominated the North American market, controlling 80 % while Atari Corp. controlled just 12 %.

Despite trailing the Nintendo Entertainment System in terms of number of units sold, the 7800 was a profitable enterprise for Atari Corp., benefiting largely from Atari ’ s name and the system's 2600 compatibility.

Atari Corp. and Epyx eventually agreed that Atari Corp. would handle production and marketing, while Epyx would handle software development.

Atari Corp. changed the internal speaker and removed the thumb-stick on the control pad before releasing it as the Lynx, initially retailing in the US at US $ 179. 95.

Atari Corp. then showed the Lynx to the press at the Summer 1989 CES as the " Portable Color Entertainment System ", which was changed to Lynx when actual consoles were distributed to resellers.

Nintendo had no problems supplying retailers with the Game Boy for the Christmas season while Atari Corp. only managed limited distribution of their Lynx by year's end.

In 1991, Atari Corp. relaunched the Lynx with a new marketing campaign, new packaging, slightly improved hardware, and a new sleek look.
