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.

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.

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.

However, it provided only mono sound through this jack, and a third-party adapter card was required to produce true two-channel stereo, despite the fact that the Ensoniq and virtually all native software produced stereo audio ( stereo audio was essentially built into the machine, but had to be de-multiplexed by third-party cards ).

This shortcoming was shared by other manufacturers at the time such as Alesis and Ensoniq.

Ensoniq was founded in 1982 by former MOS Technology engineers Robert " Bob " Yannes ( designer of the MOS Technology SID chip for the Commodore 64 home computer ), Bruce Crockett, and Al Charpentier.

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.

Ensoniq ESQ-1 is a hybrid digital-analog synthesizer released by Ensoniq in 1986.

This music workstation got rid of some previous classical Ensoniq features, such as polyphonic aftertouch ( replacing it by a mono version ) and full sound editability.

It was manufactured from 1988 to 1991 by Ensoniq in Malvern, Pennsylvania, USA.

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