What is an EFQ file?
An EFQ file is a sound data file used by the Ensoniq SQ-1, SQ-2, and KS-32 synthesizers, which are digital music workstations released in the early 1990s. It stores specific voice, patch, or performance data that defines how the synthesizer produces a particular sound. Musicians and producers typically use EFQ files to save and load custom sound settings, making it easier to reuse or share patches across different sessions or devices.
More Information
The Ensoniq SQ-1, SQ-2, and KS-32 synthesizers were popular keyboards in the 1990s that allowed musicians to create, edit, and play a wide range of synthesized sounds. The EFQ files the keyboards create help users store complex configurations without needing to manually recreate them every time. Although the Ensoniq SQ-1, SQ-2, and KS-32 synthesizers and the EFQ format are no longer widely used, users may still encounter EFQ files when working with vintage Ensoniq gear or in digital audio archives.
