Watch me replace esq-1 data fader, loose mod wheel, and sticky key that doesn't sound properly.

Background music recorded from ESQ-1 after I fixed it. :-)

"Made this little ditty while learning how to use the surprisingly-good sequencer on the Ensoniq ESQ-1. All sequences and sounds ESQ-1 except drums (Novation Circuit)."
