Did You Know You Can Control Your Ensoniq Sampler With A Microphone?

Published on Sep 13, 2018 The Daydream Sound

"Using a microphone with your Ensoniq Sampler you can create new ways to make amazing music. In this video we’ll use a microphone to control the filter modulation on the Ensoniq ASR 10. This method utilizes the CV (Control Voltage) input available on the Ensoniq ASR 10, EPS 16+ and Classic EPS. Since this is the case, you can use this method on all of these Ensoniq samplers. Although CV has become almost synonymous with Eurorack modular synthesizers. Now you can take advantage of the Ensoniq Samplers CV input without a modular system."
