Ensoniq ESQ-M Hybrid Synth | Demo Espen Kraft | 2019 reupload 2025
Originally part of a longer Ensoniq ESQ-M tutorial/demo video from 2019, here is the demo track I did for it. Back then it was vocal based. Here it is instrumental.Original 2019 video descrption:
All the sounds except the drums and orchestra hits are coming from the ESQ-M you see in the video.
My patch bank for the ESQ-1/ESQ-M/Arturia ESQ plugin can be bought directly from me. Send me an email. It costs $20USD.
"Someone told me recently that the Ensoniq ESQ'1 was the most boring synth ever. Therefor I revisit this synth to check if it's true.
A big thanks to Anders Enger Jensen for lending out his near mint ESQ'M to me for this demo. Thanks my friend! :)
The Ensoniq ESQ'1 and ESQ'M are digital/analog hybrid synths, digital oscillators/waveforms and analog filter.
Together with the Korg DW-8000 and the Kawai K3 they were the closest you could get to a PPG without brealing the bank back in the mid- to late 80s.
3 Oscillators per voice with 32 different waveforms to pick from. Extensive modulation routing possibilities and both AM and Oscillator Sync makes this a very complex synth and it gives any production a great set of textures to choose from.
When I test out a synth, I check if it's a synth that can add texture, spice and edge to my more commercial mid-80s synthpop sound. I'm not after industrial, overly dark or experimental adds to my productions. All my demos must be experienced with that in mind. If you're after bleeding resonance, spikes or Trent Reznor'ish soundscapes, you will not find that here. ;-)"
