Thought it was kind of interesting that Nile's picture is on the cover of the manual rather than the EPS. For those not familiar with Nile, via Wikipedia:

"Nile Gregory Rodgers (born September 19, 1952) is an American record producer, songwriter, musician, composer, arranger and guitarist. He is the lead guitarist and co-founding member with Bernard Edwards of the band Chic, which has been active since 1976 and was one of the most successful groups of the disco era."

And via the auction description:

"Ensoniq EPS
• 2x memory expander installed
• sold with 8x output Expander
• Boot disk and 9 instrument sample disks
• Ensoniq foot switch
• Manuals

'EPS means 'Ensoniq Performance Sampler'. The EPS is just that with clever features that make it not just a professional studio music production tool, but also a powerful live performance instrument. Its biggest feature is its ability to load new samples while playing the instrument. The EPS is somewhat multitimbral in that you can have 8 instruments on-line one at a time or stacked and switching between them is as easy as pushing one of the 8 instrument buttons. The 'Patch Select' buttons over the Mod-Wheel allow for on-the-fly patch switching from a spot where your hand is likely to be while performing!

Its unique 13-bit sampler is highly versatile with multiple sample rates to choose from (6.25 to 52kHz). Sample memory with 2x expander is 896 Kb. Some of the EPS's goodies include an 8 to 16 track sequencer with quantizing, digital filters that seem like analog and preset template envelope options.'"

Cimmerian Caves Dual Echo/Vibrato/Chorus + Fuzz Demo 2

Published on Sep 9, 2016 Artificial Noise

"Cimmerian Caves, the newest product from Artificial Noise, is a dual Echo/Vibrato/Chorus effects unit with Fuzz Distortion.

Dark, warbly and tape-like. Dense modulating echo's bouncing from ear to ear. Thick, wooly tube-like distortion. Most definitely NOT a sterile clean delay, but warm and full of character.

When the poet Homer talked of Cimmeria, he called it the land of fog and darkness at the edge of Hades. Artificial Noise has taken those words as inspiration for the Cimmerian Cave effects unit.

In the unit are two Echo "Blocks" that can be either Echo/Delay (approx. 925ms max delay time), Vibrato, Chorus or some combination of above. Each block can run in parallel and panned Left to Right, making for great Stereophonic effects, or they can be run in series (Echo 1 into Echo 2). Along with the two effects blocks there is also a Fuzz effect, which runs through both blocks. Cimmerian Caves is a hybrid of analog and digital circuitry, utilizing both worlds for maximum effect.

Cimmerian Caves works great with synthesizers or any line level instrument. And yes, it also works great with guitar and bass too!

No audio processing (effects, eq, compression, etc) was used in the video except Cimmerian Caves.

Cimmerian Caves is available for purchase at Artificial Noise:
