  1. #Ensoniq's #ESQ1 was my second synth, but my first sequencer. Worked overtime all summer of 1986 at a Greek restaurant to buy it. Sounds were a little rough around the edges, but that was part of the appeal. In retrospect this was a solid, affordable, well-designed and surprisingly durable beast of a machine. Good times! 🎶 ⚡ 🎹 👍 😁 #CherryAudio #Synthesizers #SynthWave #Electro #Music #Musicians youtube.com/watch?v=YAsD3GOC-aI

  3. Hello all. I have started work to collect sounds from old synths samplers and toys, collecting work from all places on the net to keep these things alive. If you wish to help me out with or have something I don't let me know! I've set up a folder so all can join on syncthing, but if yall want to I can always put it up on Resilio or something.

  6. Xmas spare time thing this year: Been editing & setting up a whole bunch of classic acid house, rave & breakbeat sampled stab synth sounds on the Ensoniq Mirage.

    Just boatload of fun noodling around with some of this stuff. Doesn’t even sound at all that bad even if samples are 8-bit 😍

    This here clip running live through Reaper for a bit of kHs reverb.

  7. 🎶 ☠️ 🤍 Jeez. I've been doing this electronic music composition for awhile. ;-)

    Note that MacPlus. That little computer opened up a world for me!

    The keyboards are a Yamaha DX7, en Ensoniq-1, and a Roland Juno 106

  9. Ensoniq ESQ-1 Digital Wave Synthesizer - Preset Demo - Repair Photos - No Talking

  10. Preparing to film a deep dive patch design #walkthrough of the #Ensoniq #ESQ-1, a true hybrid from 1986 with a load of pleasant surprises...

    A wildly flexible mod matrix, LOTS of real-time sound shaping inputs, and 32 cleverly designed and deliciously gritty 8-bit wavetables for each of the 3 oscillators. :awesome:

    It's pure buttah.

  12. In 1987 there was a (very) limited release of an arcade cabinet called "Moonquake," I have just discovered. Within, was a rather novel hardware arrangement.

    This was internally an Amiga 500 with an Ensoniq 5503 DOC (the sound synth chip in the Apple IIgs and Mirage synthesizers) interfaced to it for audio. On the Apple IIgs, the DOC had one 64K sound bank. The chip supported two such banks, but the 5503 in Moonquake apparently had 512K of sound RAM -- each oscillator (or channel (sorta)) had its own 64K of RAM to pull from.

    Thanks for the info on this, Ians Schmidt and Brumby from the Apple II slack.

    Ooh, I was just looking for a video showcasing the #Ensoniq Mirage #sampler's glorious two digit 7-segment display one had to use for editing the samples, and the only decent (and super detailed and informative) one is by no other than @gwEm !

    Great video - the demo track really makes me want to get it set up again, once I manage to get a similar disk drive replacement and find an OS for the sampler (the OS was loaded from a DD 3.5" Floppy disk).

    I found another dusty tape with my #Ensoniq Mirage in action.

    The year would be 1992, just after De La Soul Is Dead was released (which we sampled).

    Features me saying "Check this out" and my secondary school bench neighbour Soner on Rap

    Everything went through an Alesis Microverb, so it's super boomy, and I panned the sampler by hand on my crappy little mixer.

    Needless to say we never got that record deal, although we had exactly one gig at the local nightclub 😂

    I still haven't found the vinyl, but I found it on Discogs, including a YouTube rip:

    discogs.com/release/516894-Buc

    And, what's even more exciting (to me) I found a cassette tape with a recording of a short sample from that LP using my #Ensoniq Mirage #sampler which I got second hand in 1991 or 92.

    This would have been one of my first samples ever, and to accommodate two so long samples at once I must have turned the sample rate as low as possible.
