Ensoniq ESQ-M Sound Module

"In 1986 Ensoniq released the ESQ-1 synthesizer at a list of $1,395. The ESQ-1 became a big seller and continued the company’s good fortune they had with the Mirage. Due to this success, Ensoniq released the ESQ-M, a rack mount of the ESQ-1 which had all the features of the ESQ-1 except for the sequencer, 5 octave keyboard , and the 80 character display. However the ESQ-M allowed you to set individual volumes for each track (patch) of a mix.

The ESQ-M features eight voice polyphony and is eight part multitimbral with dynamic voice allocation. It can also do basic splits and layers which can be saved as part of a patch and split key is designated by the user. (Very impressive for a synth that was released in 86/87.) The unit features no on-board effects but does allow you program the pan position of a voice and the position may be modulated any modulation source. Also ingenious (other manufacturers please note) is that while you are playing a voice you may change the voice and the original will continue to sound and any new keys will reflected the newly selected voice. While using the unit in full multitimbral operation I did not notice audible delays in the machine’s performance.

Analogue Solutions TBX

"Here's a quick demo of Analogue Solutions TBX Bass Line that I have for sale.
Forgive the sound quality as it's shot through my iphone but hopefully there's enough in here to give you an idea of the scope of this thing - it's a real sound monster ;) All sounds are from the TBX. Lots of drum type noise and weird sounds too. I've shown my 303 to give you some perspective on the size of the TBX - it's more or less the same size as the TB."

Roland Jupiter 80 Sound Demo

"Some scapes made with the Jupiter 80. In my opinion a very warm and good sounding instrument with plenty of usable sounds and a good synth engine. I tried to put almost everything to this demo, but it`s hard and this demo should have one hour :)"

"Just got my hands on this synth and could spend like 2,5 hours with it. Short time but I tried to dig as deep as its possible in it. No EQ, compression or external Fx."
