You can buy these patches - read the description for further details.

Synthesizer demo of the ENSONIQ ESQ-1 from 1986.
The intro sequence was produced with the sequencer of the ESQ-1. In this movie I play my own sounds - on some sounds I used a small amount of reverb from a Lexicon MPX-500. In the short "Oxygene part" I also used an Electro-Harmonix SMALL STONE phaser and a delay from ROLAND DEP-5.

The ENSONIQ ESQ-1 is a hybrid synthesizer from 1986. It has 32 digital waveforms and analog lowpass filter. It is flexible, since it employs 3 oscillators, 4 envelopes, 4 DCAs and 3 LFO's per voice. OSC sync and amplitude modulation possible - like on analog synthesizers. It has a velocity sensitive keyboard. In my opinion the ESQ-1 behaves pretty much like an analog synthesizer. The main differences are: it has more complex envelopes than ADSR, and it has digital oscillators. It is 8 voice polyphonic. Also it has a built in pattern sequencer. It is a kind of "poorman's PPG". The English manual is written very well, it's a pleasure to read.

The ESQ-1 has been used by Adamski, Jean-Michel Jarre, Front Line Assembly among others...

THE SOUND PROGRAMS IN THIS MOVIE:

If you are an owner of a ENSONIQ ESQ-1, ESQ-M or SQ-80: would you like to use these fantastic sounds with your synth for your music?

The brandnew professional "ANALOGAUDIO1 ESQ-1 PATCH BANK" costs 12,99 Euros and includes 40 highly useful patches. This patch bank contains mainly analog style sounds (warm pads, great basses, Eminent 310U J.M.Jarre-strings, leads), but also some very interesting digital sounds (all sounds you hear in the video and some more).

Apart from the "digital style" sounds, I tried to let the ESQ-1 sound as "classy analog" as possible. When I programmed the Eminent 310U strings, I compared the patches with the original Eminent, that I owned. The Eminent sound is damn close. After that I even sold my Eminent...

As an experienced synth player and composer I created these patches for professional use. This patchbank provides your Ensoniq synth with 40 first class patches. Also included is a patch list (PDF), to find the right sounds quickly. The sounds are not available anywhere else.

The patchbank will work with a ESQ-1, ESQ-M and SQ-80.

After payment through PayPal you will get the patchbank as a sound file (wav) for the built in tape interface of your Ensoniq synth and a patchlist (list with names of the patches) via email.
