ENSONIQ ESQ-1

Uploaded by TheDaydreamSound on Mar 29, 2010
The ESQ-1 is Ensoniq's first synthesizer made in 1986. It sports 8 note polyphony, an 8 track sequencer and my favorite an Analog Filter. In this video I'll try to show the capabilites of the sequencer along with the creative limitations of 8 note polyphony. The notes seem to drop right when you want them to.
Once Again Thanks For Stopping By!

Did you make this up yourself? The hook is brilliant, man!

@MrKeyboarder100 You make the drum sounds aswell. That's the great thing about synthesis. You can use the primary waveforms provided to imitate acoustic instruments or previously unattainable sounds. That's the real purpose of a synthesizer. Early synths at first never came with sounds in them. Later on they did as a tool to sell them to musicians who didn't care to program them themselves.

@waveformblue Thanks man!

I have an SQ-80 and ESQ-m. Both of these instruments suffer the same curse as your ESQ-1 - suckalicious presets. Yet these synths are deep. It takes a master programmer to tap the power of these beasts. You sir are a master.

@jwesley1879 Thanks man! I haven't used any sounds from Syntaur before. What format did they send them to you on?
