Super appreciated. Watched the whole thing. I had been poking around, looking to get one of these but I hadn't pulled the trigger precisely because of this topic (a lot of options). Going for an EPS16+. Many thanks my friend

I started out on the Mirage rack (with the input filter), then the EPS, the EPS 16+, and finally the ASR-10 (I ran two onstage at a time until I got a Bernoulli drive, loading one while one played...crazy disk swapping live!). I had three at one point, and still have two. Sadly, I'm only using it as a controller these days. Ensoniq kept my music alive for many years! Thanks for the video!

Dude u just reminded me I got an OG eps in storage! I'm gonna go get it tomorrow

Great video dude. I’ve always wanted to see one on this very topic.

Largely due to your great videos, and a bit of good luck on my part, I’ve ended up with the Mirage, EPS Classic, and an ASR-10 that I just picked up last week. Among those three, it’s amazing how many bases those can cover on a production level.

Gonna grab an Ensoniq EPS classic today. I picked that one because I'm trying to get that grimy and gritty sound for my beats and I feel that the classic is the best one for the job

I had a rack mount mirage and an ESQ-1. great days!

Made me so nostalgic I dug out my ASR-10 and DP/4. Hardly even remembered how to use it, but most of it came back quickly- muscle memory! Half of my Syquest disks are malfunctioning, but my most of my favorite samples seem good (including a long manual filter sweep from a Realistic/Moog MG-1 that I can't believe I pulled off so smoothly, and a really weird S&H-esque weirdness that I sampled from my Mirage when it glitched out one day). Ordered a better shape drive and a bunch of blanks off Ebay to save what I can. Unfortunately, it looks like I didn't save my Waveboy effects (had all of them) on the discs, so hopefully I still have the floppies somewhere.

This is a really good informative video man, Im definitely saving up for that ASR-10 - Won't be too shabby for the first bit of equipment I'll get besides the midi keyboard ive got lol Thanks!

Yeah I'm keeping an eye out on a good deal for one now for sure. Also, any chance you could do some step-by-step tutorials on sampling, sequencing and more in-depth synthesis on the EPS16+? There are other vids like these out there, but none who teach as well or have your style. :D Would be so greatly appreciated!

Just found your wonderful channel today. Awesome to find such a nuanced appreciation for Ensoniq gear. Also great to hear your thoughts on what Ensoniq samplers still offer for experimental sound design. I acquired an ASR-10 in 1996 (blue LED screen, SCSI, 16MB RAM) and used it in precisely this way for around 20 years (some efforts in the ambient vein on my Bandcamp page). My ASR-10 is not currently functional (probably just need to take it apart and check ribbon connectors, etc.) and I've been trying to recreate the magic on a Korg Kronos. The Kronos is amazing, but it is not as straightforward to use as the ASR-10. I also miss the ASR-10's lush-sounding 44kHz effects - the combination chorus+reverb+delay effect in particular (not that the Kronos is lacking in this area; it's just different). Anyway, watching your vids brings back some great memories. Must get the ASR-10 up and running again! Thanks for the inspiration!

The Mirage has a unique feature called Sample Rotate. None of the Eps and Asrs came with it. You could move a Sample start loop point position like say you Sample measure 2,3,4,5...1 has talking or something you didn't want But 2 thru 5 was clean so could grab it, put it on loop mode then with Sample Rotate move the start postion until 5 becomes 1 and the loop sounds so perfect you can't tell it was flipped.

One other thing to note about the EPS16+ is it's Flash RAM upgrade. Talk about cool. You could load up the Flash RAM with your most often used samples, turn on your sampler and in a flash, Bam! There they were. I was always disappointed that the ASR didn't have a Flash RAM option.

I think the ASR-X had the E-MU/Ensoniq Dance Project ROM expansion board.

is the EPS like a ASR10 but has a few things less funtions what does the EPS have that the ASR does not have?

Hey slightly confused about something, do you have to load the OS disks every time you turn on the ensoniq samplers? Also if you turn them off, do you lose all your samples?

Have you ever tried any of the early to mid-2000s groovebox styled samplers from boss/Roland and zoom? Of course you have the sp-202/303 and the larger sp-505/808 series but I had the zoom st-224 sampletrak... it stored samples and sequences via cf card and had variable sample rates from 32khz down to 8. I believe it was 12 bit. And it had a superb sequencer, an effects generator with pad assignment, and resampling. Plus it could scale 8 pads up or down over 3 banks. Only draw back was it had midi in out and thru but it was such an afterthought that it wasn’t worth trying to use. I made some of my best beats on that before I inherited my big brothers asr after he passed

Hi how can buy mirage brass sound

I've been considering an ensoniq sampler for some time now. I'm really needing one for making samlpes of my old analog synthesizers but I need the sample sounds to sound like the actual analog devices. What would you recommend for this purpose?? I need help making a decision.

@TheDaydreamSound

7 жыл бұрын

What's up polyneux74! All Ensoniq samplers will colour any incoming audio so you won't get a faithful rendition of your analog synthesizers when sampled. What I would recommend is the ASR-10 it has the greatest potential to handle audio better in the lower and higher registers which will really help when sampling analog instruments. Overall it will warm your samples up a bit which may help maintain the analog character of your synthesizers once they're in the digital domain. Hope this helps. Peace, TDS www.thedaydreamsound.com

I love Ensoniqs ( mirage and the first eps) but I hate that display and the menu diving.... we had a 16 plus that frooze all the time... I would buy a mirage again.
