Ensoniq MR Rack, Fully Expanded

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"Incredible condition Ensoniq MR Rack synth, fully expanded to include all samples and programs from the EXP-1 (Real World), EXP-3 (Urban Dance) and EXP-4 (Perfect Piano) expansion boards, via the 3-in-1 expansion board now available. The EXP-3 expansion adds all of the Transwaves available on the Ensoniq Fizmo as well!

The synth is fully updated with the latest OS (v1.53), and has a new battery installed. It's got very few blemishes - just a tad of rack rash on the screw holes, and a bit underneath - see photos. None of it is visible when in your rack. Everything works exactly as it should. Original owners manual and power cord are also included."

Ensoniq MR-Rack + Doctor A reverb (TheoryBoard controller)

video upload by SynthAddict

0:00 Patch demo (no external FX)
0:54 Patch demo 2 with Doctor A reverb

"A basic manual sequence of a layered patch on the MR-Rack, with and without the Doctor A reverb. Demo played with an Irijule TheoryBoard.

The MR-Rack is one of Ensoniq's last few products before becoming part of E-mu and then all under Creative Labs - finally disappearing forever. It's based on the MR-61 and MR-76 keyboards, and it's a nice mixture of quality samples (with upgrade boards for hiphop, world music, etc.) and wavetables (transwaves)."

Overview | Ensoniq MR Rack 64-Voice Expandable Synthesizer

Thoughtful Clips

"Ensoniq MR Rack has nearly everything you could ask for in a ROMpler: ease of use; multi-timbral functionality from the ground up, 64-voice polyphony; outstanding & flexible effects processing, simple layering and splits...
only one thing hamstrung this fantastic synth in the mid-90s, and it was purposely designed with this omission.
Do you know what it is?

"Kind of a "do it all" synth in a single rack space. Analog modeling, Transwave synthesis (wavetables), ROM samples, and drum sounds."

TUBULAR BELLS - ANALOG SYNTH LIVE IMPRO - OPENING THEME

Published on Jul 24, 2016 Gary Hayes
Update: Re-Published on Jul 25, 2016

"Been a fan of Mike Oldfield’s 1973 Opus since a teenager and although I can play much of it on guitars, harps, bass and wind instruments, this afternoon I had a tinker in my open photo gallery (yes a few folk were browsing towards the end section again!) using one of my OTB keyboard setups (I am using for original works). I love the opening sequence with its odd time signatures and downward chord progressions so just did a little prep on the Analog 4 (time sigs and sounds) and set off. The only part I rehearsed a few times was the 3/4 downward chord section, otherwise all other parts I knew and this is not meant to be a verbatim structure of course.

Instruments: Roland System 1 for back sequences, Ensoniq MR Rack for strings, Analog 4 for bass, main riff, flute riff and arp harmony, piano and Kaoss for solo parts. I was going to add my new Volca Beats and Keys, but it would have lost a little ‘purity’ if I did that."

"Symphony Electronica Mov I 'In Peril' beauty as destructive forces threaten, then the struggle begins... Another improvisation in my Blue Mountains photo gallery today. This is part of a development of pieces and is going to be one of three movements as backing tracks to some acoustic overlays - mostly guitar, sax and harp."

"Using Elektron Analog 4 (sequences and leads), Roland System 1 (pads/sequences), Casio Grand Piano, Ensoniq MrRack (strings), Kaoss (various leads, sfx, pads)"

THE ETERNAL RAIN ~ Analog Electronica 40 minute Jam / Improv

Published on Jun 4, 2016 Gary Hayes

"Performed live in one take during a gallery open day in Gary's photographic studio/gallery in Mount Victoria, Blue Mountains. A traditional analog sequencer based impro with downward chordal progressions. The Electron Analog 4 is used for two sequences, main bass and lead with strings, the Roland System 1 for pad and various sequences, the strings are from the Warm Pad preset on Ensoniq MR Rack and finally the Kaoss Pro for leads and analog colouration. At full instrumentation there are six sync'd sequences. The audio has been mastered through Izotrope Ozone."

Ensoniq mr rack + world and urban expansions

YouTube Uploaded by KiNeTiCsOuNdPrIsM on Jul 11, 2011

"A rough demo of some sounds edited with sounddiver from the ensoniq mr rack.

The mr rack is basically a fizmo / vfx without knobs but which when expanded with the 2 x boards has shedloads more transwaves than either.

Its a cross between a wavestation and microwave in some sense.Very complex."
