Ensoniq EPS Performance Sampler with 4x Memory Expander & SCSI

Description: Ensoniq EPS Performance Sampler Includes 4x Memory Expander, SCSI, OS Disk, Demo Disk and Power Cord About This Keyboard This EPS is in excellent condition mechanically and comes with everything pictured which includes the 4x memory expander (already installed) with SCSI, OS disk, demo disk and the power cord. Every button and slider that I tested works just as it should. The display is bright and clear, the floppy drive works well and the sequencer works just as it should. Cosmetically it has some scuffs and scratches here and there and is missing a couple of screws on the front panel but is about average for a keyboard of its age. The Ensoniq EPS EPS means 'Ensoniq Performance Sampler'. The EPS is just that with clever new features that make it not just a professional studio music production tool, but also a powerful live performance instrument. Its biggest feature is its ability to load new samples while playing the instrument, a feature you'd be lucky to find on current synth/samplers. The EPS is somewhat multitimbral in that you can have 8 instruments on-line one at a time or stacked* and switching between them is as easy as pushing one of the 8 instrument buttons. The 'Patch Select' buttons over the Mod-Wheel allow for on-the-fly patch switching from a spot where your hand is likely to be while performing! Its unique 13-bit sampler is highly versatile with multiple sample rates to choose from (6.25 to 52kHz). However, higher sample rates mean less polyphony and sample time. Unfortunately sample memory is miniscule at 480 Kb yielding anywhere from 5 to 41 seconds of sample time. Fortunately it is expandable up to 896 Kb (with optional 2x expander) or 2.1 Mb (with optional 4x or 4x+SCSI expanders) allowing as much 167 seconds of sample time. Some of the EPS's goodies include an 8 to 16 track sequencer (which steals its memory space from the same RAM that holds the samples) with quantizing, digital filters that seem like analog and preset template envelope options.

Used keyboards develop wear over time that can cause such items as function buttons, knobs, sliders etc. to fail to operate as smoothly or easily as when they were new. Our technician does check these items and if they are deemed unusable they are replaced but some function buttons may require more pressure or manipulation to make the appropriate changes. Cosmetically your used keyboard may have scuffs, scratches, cracks to plastic pieces, discolored keys or other visual impairments that might not show up in the photos. We try to mention any obvious visual imperfections but may not consider them serious enough to post in the listing. Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE
