Just How Gritty Can The Ensoniq Mirage Get?

Published on Sep 22, 2015 TheDaydreamSound

"Just How Gritty Can The Ensoniq Mirage Get? In this video we take the things down to 14khz. Even though the Mirage can sample at a lower rate than that. This piece will give you a good idea about how good and messy things can get at the extreme end of Mirage.

ENSONIQ ESQ-1

YouTube via TheDaydreamSound
"The ESQ-1 is Ensoniq's first synthesizer made in 1986. It sports 8 note polyphony, an 8 track sequencer and my favorite an Analog Filter. In this video I'll try to show the capabilites of the sequencer along with the creative limitations of 8 note polyphony. The notes seem to drop right when you want them to.

Ensoniq EPSm Rackmount 13bit Sampler

YouTube via TheDaydreamSound
"The EPSm Rackmount is probably the most rare of all Enosniq samplers. It came standard with 8 ouputs a SCSI port and expanded memory. It was made in 1989, 1 year after the keyboard version. Of all Ensoniq's rackmount samplers I like the look of this one the best followed by the ASR 10.

On a side note this was Ensoniq's only 13bit sampler.

Eventhough the EPSm came with a SCSI port it will not recognize a Zip drive or most modern SCSI devices. Apparently SCSI was fairly new at the the time. However, it will work with some older Syquest drives.

Definition: syn·the·siz·er

An electronic instrument, often played with a keyboard, that combines simple waveforms to produce more complex sounds, such as those of various other instruments

Traditional Sample-based synthesis:
One of the easiest synthesis systems is to record a real instrument as a digitized waveform, and then play back its recordings at different speeds to produce different tones. This is the technique used in "sampling". Most samplers designate a part of the sample for each component of the ADSR envelope, and then repeat that section while changing the volume for that segment of the envelope. This lets the sampler have a persuasively different envelope using the same note."

Ensoniq EPS 16+ Test Drive by The Daydream Sound

Published on Dec 25, 2013 TheDaydreamSound·90 videos

"The Ensoniq EPS 16+ Digital Sampling Workstation is the third sampler made by Ensoniq in 1991. The layout is very similar to the original EPS with the addition of 16-bit sampling and onboard effects. It's an 8-track sampler/sequencer with many modulation options. Here I create a simple piece using the EPS 16+'s sequencer. Listen and Enjoy!

Ensoniq EPS 16+ vs. The Mirage - Digital to Analog Converter Comparisons

YouTube via TheDaydreamSound — April 28, 2010 — "Since the EPS 16+ is backwards compatible with the Mirage and the original EPS. In this video well hear the difference between the 8 bit depth of the Mirage and the 16bit depth of the 16+ along with a comparison between the tonal variations that the D to A converters of each sampler have on the same sampled sound.

Ensoniq Mirage Test Drive by The Daydream Sound

Published on Nov 27, 2013 TheDaydreamSound·89 videos

"The Ensoniq Mirage is the first sampler from Ensoniq and one of the most affordable samplers of it's time. With a HEX display screen, 8 bit variable sampler rate and analog resonant filters, this sampler maintains a character of its own.

The sequencer functions much like a tape loop. You have to manually punch in and out to get a smooth loop. In this video I keep it traditional with a straight ahead Classic Hip-Hop approach. Watch and Enjoy!

Ensoniq ASR-10 A Historical Hip-Hop Sampler by The Daydream Sound

Published on Feb 3, 2015 TheDaydreamSound

"I tried to stay away from the Ensoinq stuff but I always seem to find my way back to them. The ASR10 is an extremely versatile all around workhorse of a sampler with a distinct sound. It's become a historical hip-hop sampler and one of my favorites! In this video I'm having fun with samples as I like to do. Hope you enjoy it.

Broken Loops On The Ensoniq Mirage
