	Randy Chance EPS Info Page
		Though Ensoniq, based in Malvern, Pennsylvania, has often been blamed for an inconsistent assembly line [a problem which, apparently, has been solved in recent years], they have always been at the forefront of synthesizer technology, taking the music world by storm with the Mirage: the planet's first accessible, affordable sampler.
		By the late 80's they had perfected their design in the release of the EPS, and taken electronic music to a level of stage performance that was only dreamed of just a few years earlier.
		EPS must have "sys ex on", seems to work in multi mode, "transmit on instru chanl" seems to work, create new instrument so you have some place to send the new sample.

	Ensoniq ASR, EPS & EPS-16 Plus Tech Info from Syntaur Productions
		From the factory, the EPS shipped with 512k of sample RAM, and it could be expanded either to 1 Meg or 2 Meg, using either a 2x or 4x memory expander cartridge.
		If you are using an EPS or an EPS-16 Plus, you must also have a memory expander cartridge installed, as the SCSI board physically mounts onto the expander.
		Not all SCSI drives are compatible with the Ensoniq samplers, and the older samplers work with fewer drives.

	Ensoniq EPS - A Great Keyboard!
		The EPS Sampler Keyboard was released in 1988 by a Ensoniq, a medium-sized producer of musical equipment and hearing aids based in Malvern, PA. "EPS" stood for "Ensoniq Performance Sampler", and is now referred to as the EPS "Classic".
		The EPS Sampler is really a computer, and in fact has a 68000 processor inside, the same processor as the Macintoshes of the day.
		My EPS is set up with my bass samples (acoustic bass if I play hard, P-bass if I play soft) from middle C down, and the other instruments from middle C up.

	Online Encyclopedia and Dictionary - Ensoniq Mirage
		The Ensoniq Corporation's Mirage was an 8-bit sampler introduced in 1985.
		The Mirage was the brain child of Bob Yannes, the man responsible for the SID (sound interface device) of the Commodore 64.
		In 1988, Ensoniq followed the Mirage up with the more advanced EPS (Ensoniq Performance Sampler), and later the EPS-16+.

		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.
		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.
		With the EPS in Load mode by first selecting an instrument and then double clicking another instrument both will be played together.

	Ensoniq EPS
		In the end, the EPS worked out ok for me. The sounds available aren't all that great, and it would occasionally crash on me. I developed a minimal wavesample editor that could transfer wavesamples to and from the keyboard via MIDI.
		The Ensoniq EPS is also known as the Classic, Original, or 13-bit EPS.
		I believe the EPS worked with 16-bits internally, but the analog to digital and digital to analog converters could only handle 13 bits.

		Ensoniq stuff is nicely designed in terms of features and so on - the VFX (which I have) is little short of superb as a performance keyboard, and has a nice voice architecture although the filtering is rather bland.
		Ensoniq gear has a sound which could be described as "clear" (if you like it) or "boring" (if you don't).
		The EPS disks are $4CDN each and they have about 120 in the library, teh EPS 16+ disks are $8CDN each and there are 30, and the 16W disks are $5CDN each with over 150 in the library.

		my first big encounter with synths was at the ensoniq factory when i was there on a field trip in middle school.

	Retro Thing: The Ensoniq Mirage: Digital Sampling For The Masses
		The same thing can be achieved today with a $29 bargain-basement sound card, but back in 1983 an 8-voice 8-bit digital sampler such as the Fairlight CMI Series IIx would set you back the staggering sum of $30,000.
		Technology had progressed to the point that by early 1985 a tiny startup called Ensoniq was able to release the Mirage Digital Sampling Keyboard at the unbelievable price of $1695.
		Ensoniq sold over 30,000 units before introducing the more powerful Ensoniq EPS sampler in 1988.

		Bob Yannes, on of Ensoniq's cofounders, was responsible for designing the Commodore 64's three-voice synth chip.
		In 1982 he designed a portion of a PC that was similar to the sound synthesizer that ended up in the Amiga.
		'The EPS and SQ-80 were intended to address the professional market, but we know our bread and butter is in the low end.' In 1998 Ensoniq, like E-mu before it, became part of Creative Technologies.

		The EPS is also able to have up to eight instruments on reserve, and is able to play all instruments simultaneously.
		The EPS had a straightforward interface that was easy to use and its controls were configurable.
		The key limitations of the EPS were its proprietary disk format, software faults in some operating system releases and a lack of support from Creative Technology, the current owner of Ensoniq.

		The EPS (Ensoniq Performance Sampler) was one of the first few affordable samplers on the market.
		The EPS also used an integrated floppy disk drive (sourced from Sony or Matsushita), and an expansion bay that could be used to add a SCSI controller supporting SCSI hard disk and CD-ROM drive units.
		The EPS uses MIDI and can be used as a controller of other instruments, or linked to a PC or Macintosh.

		EPS users MAY be able to use it if the EPS can handle four megs of memory, or if some nice person breaks the kit down into more managable chunks.
		Here, the signals inside the EPS which drive the OEX are explained as follows (a short excerpt): "The 8-output expander uses these output selection lines to route the differential signals at pin 5 and pin 9 of J16 to one of the eight outputs.
		I was looking forward to doing the basic sampling on the EPS and then sending it to Alchemy for editing and touchup (its much nicer to work with a screen and mouse for this) and then sending it back to the EPS for use.

		One thing to remember about the EPS external command specification that they send you for your EPS 16 Plus, and that is it is realy the EPS "classic" external command specification with a few bits tacked in for the 16 Plus.
		Full EPS disks seem to compress an average of 1.5 to 1, and full EPS 16+ disks (which have the full 16 bit samples) tend not to compress much at all.

		Replace your Ensoniq EPS 16-Plus or ASR-10 floppy drive With a ZipDrive, using the Internal ZipDrive Kit.
		The only functional drawback of an Internal ZipDrive is that without the flopy drive you cannot format a SCSI Drive, like the ZipDrive, from the Ensoniq itself.
		Or, if you have a ZipDrive on your computer (it doesn't have to be SCSI), you can download Chicken System's Translator Free program from their web site and format the ZipDisk to Ensoniq format on that.

		An improvement on the original Ensoniq SCSI interface, our interface uses less power (and is thus easier on the keyboard's already-taxed power supply), and it allows the EPS-16 Plus to be used with an Iomega Zip drive.
		The EPS SCSI kit requires that you use O.S. version 2.49 in your sampler.
		Also, the SCSI kits for both the EPS and the EPS-16 Plus mount inside a memory expander cartridge, so you must have this expander in order to install the SCSI kit.
