ENSONIQ ESQ-1

"Hello – This ESQ-1 was used to produce several children’s albums back in the day before I inherited it. Since then, it was primarily used as a MIDI-controller in my own production set-up. It does have its share of cosmetic scuffs and blemishes, but it’s built like a tank and everything is in working condition including all keys, buttons, and the LCD screen. However, it will require an internal battery to be replaced. When powered up, it displays “Warning - Battery Voltage Is Low”. The purpose of the internal battery is to save the sequences and patches in memory when powered off."

"Vintage Juno 6 analog synth that someone decorated. All the functions work but there is no indication of what the controls do on the front due to the paint job. Sounds great and works well."

Grrr...

Tested and working 100%! Good physical condition, but missing 2 knobs and the attack slider. No power cord, but it takes a generic 3 prong power cord..."

"Had this in my studio for a while with no problems. Sold it about a month ago, buyer reported odd noises. Took it back and did not experience his problems, but the midi channel select only works on chan.1.

So if you can live with that you have a cool little synth.

Sold AS IS, as seen, no returns. I am not a music store."

Pics of the inside below.

"Pictures make up most of the description as does THIS MP3, recorded from the line out.
I haven't cleaned the keyboard or the stylus much. When I cleaned off all the corrosion a few years ago, it played a bit better than this.

The vibrato switch is physically wonky, and doesn't particularly make any vibrato effect at the moment, which is a physical defect rather than an electronic one. The Vibrato, like a Stylophone, functions by making the upper (or lower) "horizontal" side of the waveform vary in length, thus altering pitch and pulse width simultaneously, which accounts for their unique sound."
