Hey! Thanks for your reply.

Well, to start: ESQ1 and SQ80 are very different machines from the SQ1/SQ1+/SQ2/KS32 family.
About the end results, there's some very good commercial VSTs that could come close to what it was, the best candidate is Camel Audio Alchemy, which have 4 OSC (SQ1 has 3), filters for each one, advanced evenlopes (and a lot of them), a super flexible modulation system and a whole lot of stuffs that i'll not use 'cause SQ1 did'nt had them.
The only thing i can't really "emulate" is the Multieffect stage, but i'd bear with what i'll found.
Anyway, how to make that waves sounds decent is on my part  I could even try to develop a VST. For now, all i want is to know how the waves are stored** and how to set looping points.

Monophonic? not at all. It had 21 notes polyphony, a 16 track sequencer, drum sounds... to make it short, it was like a Korg M1, just made in US by the SID inventor, so sounding less "japan/arcade"

No, i'm italian.
EDIT
**
i mean, i need to know at what sample each of them start and end, and i still have to identify (associate to the displayed name) some of them.
