Features
• Access all of the Fizmo’s parameters, including those not accessible from the front panel!
• Bi-directional editing support: changes made in Fauxmo can be auditioned in real-time on the Fizmo, and parameter tweaks on the Fizmo are reflected in real-time on-screen in Fauxmo. No editor has ever done this for the Fizmo till now!
• Single tabbed-window for all editing functions, to more easily visualize all of a Preset’s parameters and finally understand how a Fizmo sound is created!
• Copy/paste ability, for specific Preset sections, entire Oscillator, or entire Sound – even between Presets
• Sound randomization – can randomize entire Preset, entire Sound, entire Osc, or even specific portions of Osc’s. Can even specify ranges within which to randomize each parameter! [NEW]
• Real-time F I Z M O knob bi-directional control [NEW]
• Info View window, that provides more info about parameters and functions – detail not ever included in the original Fizmo manual [NEW]
• Graphic illustration of signal path flow through effects on the Global Reverb tab [NEW]
• Native import and export support for sysex patch and bank files – no more proprietary file formats (as with the legacy SoundDiver application)
• Built in virtual keyboard to send MIDI notes to Fizmo, to audition parameter changes without need to interact with the Fizmo (unless you want to!), or if you’re lucky enough to have a Fizmo rack!
• Full ability to edit all parameters of the legendary Ensoniq effects built into the Fizmo, as well as all Arpeggiator and Global Reverb parameters
• Full ability to retrieve and edit the Fizmo’s global MIDI system parameters
• Easily program a provided built-in “default” patch into your Fizmo as a starting point, or create one of your own to use instead
• Output text file of patch names, on a per Bank basis [NEW]
• Adjustable application size
• Dark Mode support (title bar and menus) for Mac Mojave (10.14) and greater
• Entirely a 64-bit application

Who’s Using It
Scott Peer (ex- Ensoniq Director of Product Development & leader of Fizmo development team, now owner of SoundEngine.com)
“Fauxmo is fantastic – logically laid out, well implemented, and generally wonderful. I can now access, from my Mac, all of the Fizmo parameters we decided to hide decades ago! LOL!”
Ingo Debus (Developer of the Fizmo module for legacy SoundDiver editor / librarian)
“Finally someone has unleashed the power of that inconspicuous looking synth. It has only 23 knobs and a few buttons, but with Fauxmo you get full access to eight “oscillators” (where an oscillator in reality is a complete synth voice), a versatile arpeggiator and a very very powerful effects section. Kudos to Dan, this must have been a ton of work!”
Craig Snoke (ex- Sound Developer for Ensoniq, and member of Fizmo development team)
“Fizmo will always occupy a unique place in my heart, and to once again have access to all the nooks and crannies of its sound engine is a gift. Fauxmo finally enables this sound design beast to rise from the ashes and fly! “
Kent Snow (Contributor to Ensonitron & EnDiskEx projects, open source tools for Ensoniq EPS / ASR family disk images)
“Nothing faux about Fauxmo, this comprehensive Fizmo editor will finally cement this synth into the classic it was destined to be!”
