"Soundset working: Original ESQ-1 & SQ-80 + Arturia SQ80V & SQ8L Plugins

We overcome a real challenge to make this set alive - with 4 carefully prepared sets for
all the ESQ & SQ family of synthesizers!
In 1988 Ensoniq made a real deep machine ESQ-1 with digital osc's & analog filter & lot of synthesizer possibilities.
In our modern times Arturia made a great emulation of this 80's classic aswell as SQ8L Emulator.
Now we are having opportunity to touch a legend with authentic soud!
'Cinematic Legacy' Soundset contains 40 organic presets suited for cinematic,ambient & electronic music in any genre:
Massive Vintage Strings
Silky & Evolving Pads
Deep Drones
Basses
Arps & Moving Sounds
Plucks & Bells
Easy installing with our instructions.
Sounds can be different aswell as patch names from model to model.
Original ESQ & SQ synths having no Arp & Reverb.
Made by chief sound engeneer of LFO.store – Nick Klimenko.
Turn the potential of your powerful synthesizer on maximum & may music be with you!"
Scrambled messages | Ensoniq Mirage drum and keys
video upload by MIDERA
"Hey - what more do you need? It's the Mirage. It sounds better than any other sampler out there. It's not really a sampler though is it? It's like an 8 bit FX processor that turns everything into something better."

Feels like forever | Ensoniq Mirage downtempo track
video upload by MIDERA
"I guess I didn't really realize what day it was, but when speaking to my brother he reminded me. It was 3 months ago that my mom passed away. It's kind of fitting that the piano sound that is in this track sounds just like our old out of tune piano at my old house (the piano is now gone, I don't know what happened to it). Every Sunday I still get this "oh, I gotta get ready - Mom's going to call me." moment, before I realize that I never will get those Sunday night calls again. I think for the rest of my life I'll at least think to some degree that she's going to call me. Of course, I've certainly realized just how quick time goes by. It doesn't feel like more than a week ago, and yet, it feels like forever ago. Our brains must have the hardest time processing time. At least mine does.
Well, as you've guessed - I re-bought my old Ensoniq Mirage. And wow it took me hours to remember how to use the thing (still can't quite figure out how to select upper and lower patches). I compared the Mirage to the EPS as well - and geez, it's almost no comparison. The Mirage sounds like way better than the EPS, but the EPS is way easier to use. I kinda think if one thing had to go it would be the EPS. I like what it can do, and the ease with which it can do it, but if the end result isn't entirely inspiring, I'd be reaching for the Mirage 90% of the time. But... maybe the EPS has some tricks up its sleeves. What I find the Mirage does is somehow manage to sound broken, out of tune, and at the same time have this nice hi-fi sound. The EPS sounds muffled in comparison (I actually re-wrote this track sampling into the EPS the same way, but decided not to include it in this track... maybe that was a mistake).

Ensoniq EPS as a synthesizer | Sampling the Spectralis 2 monosynth
video upload by MIDERA
"One feature of the Mirage I’ve always liked was bringing in a simple wave and using it like a synthesizer. I think the Ensoniq EPS is actually a little more interesting because of how easy it is to edit the sample loop start and end to create completely glitched out sounds that can basically be played in real time, if a little awkward to manage at times with the buttons versus sliders/knobs. This is what I’m doing towards the end of this patch I made.

Weatherstruck | Ensoniq EPS sampler downtempo electronic somberwave
video upload by MIDERA
"Today, I traded something small (Polyend Tracker) for something big (Ensoniq EPS). I kind of don't know what I was thinking. I knew I was overwhelmed with gear. But I've been debating buying an Ensoniq Mirage again and wondered if this (EPS) would suffice. I'm kind of thinking... yeah, maybe. It's doing everything I felt I did with the Mirage, only in an easier way. It's a higher bitrate, but it's still pretty chunky. I'm liking it. This is after digging around on it for one night, so I don't know if what I did sounds any good. I guess I like it, so that's good enough for me. I have no disks to save the sounds on, so I think this will have to say goodbye and be gone forever.
Still - I'm pretty impressed. The Ensoniq EPS gets dumped on. Not as much character as the Mirage, not as good as the EPS16 plus, and definitely not as good as the ASR10. To me, it seems like it's actually the worst one of the bunch. In no way did I find anyone recommending the EPS over the others mentioned above.
Well, I like it. It was pretty easy to make this and I think it's got some character, in a very similar way as the Mirage. One thing that didn't make sense was that it appears to be stereo based on the outputs, but I'm not sure it actually is.

Ambient Music with an Ensoniq Fizmo
video upload by Christian's Sonic Spaces
"This is ambient music with my Ensoniq Fizmo. All patches I created just on the fly during the recording session, and all stems I recorded live into the DAW.
I used for the recording the following FX chain:
Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe - GFI System Specular Reverb 2. Depending on the recorded track some FX are deactivated or tweaked.
The signal went through a Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 into the PC via USB for recording. To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. The final song was then mastered with a bit EQ and compression on some tracks and iZotope Ozone on the master track."
Also see Ensoniq Fizmo - Single Patch with Arpeggiator tweaking into Chaos
I remember when the Fizmo came out many were dissapointed it didn't sound like a virtual analog synth. Now it's a bit of a gem.
