Up for adoption and looking for a loving home:

One early 90's often overlooked strange animal from the synth underdogs at Ensoniq.

Somewhat like a VFX with a turbocharger, but not quite a TS-10 - this was a sweet spot in synth evolution right in between the earlier analogs and the later romplers. And that's how it sounds - more digital than analog, but more analog than digital. The sounds are rich and warm - complex and animated. Something about the way it plays under your fingers is just... right. I don't know how else to describe it but this puppy will surprise you by sounding nothing like the things that came right before it, or right after it. It's very early 90's (but I mean that in a good way.)

This example is the 32 voice version and trust me that's the one you want (because many of the sounds are layered and more is better.)

I don't think I'm the original owner, but this guy has been in my care for at least three decades. I can confirm that absolutely everything on it works perfectly - screen is bright, wheels are responsive, all keys travel evenly, and all buttons are snappy without any misfires. Even the floppy drive still works.

Local buyer that can pickup in 30066 (Marietta / Woodstock Georgia) only - once more, please purchase if you can swing by - check this thing out for yourself to confirm everything is in order - and roll out with it - will not ship. It heavy and built like a tank. I don't ship tanks.

Adding the usual disclaimer that it's a vintage machine - sold as is - guaranteed to be working as advertised but once you leave with it it's yours.

I've always loved this machine - only selling due to being out of space - so happy to answer any questions.

Cheers!
