    I bought my ASR 10 when they first came out. Still have it to this day. Still works great, no overheating or shutting down. Upgraded the memory to increase sample time. I had two ASR's but ended up trading one for an MPC 2000xl. Love both the ASR and the MPC but my ASR is like my first born- it will always be my number one !!! Workflow is definitely slower/different but if you can master the ASR everything else is easy. If you have the patience and the time to watch youtube tutorials I highly recommend an ASR 10

    And one correction. Speeding up the records to get more out of the sampling time was going on for years before the ASR came out. That was a necessity if you all you had was an SP-12 Turbo or SP-1200. And when you slowed the sample down to its original tuning, that’s when you would get that infamous, distorted, ring modulated sound quality. The ASR had considerably more sampling time which meant you did not have to speed up the record maximize sampling time. If you maxed out the memory, you could literally sample a short song. The sound quality would also be way better and especially if you’re sampling in stereo.

      @79Glitch 3 года назад +7

      Tip didn’t use the ASR-10, at least not on any of his classic productions.
      Peoples Instinctive Travels ... and Low End Theory were SP-1200 and S950-ASR wasn’t even out yet.
      Midnight Marauders was one of the earlier MPC’s and the aforementioned machines.
      And Beats, Rhymes, Life and Love Movement were the MPC 3000 alongside Dilla. Same for Amplified. Then it’s been the Renaissance ever since on the solo record with the same name and the last Tribe album.
      He’s done interviews and even rhymed about his equipment, but you just need to listen to the beats-none of his beats have the ASR-10 just by using the ear test.

      @79Glitch 2 года назад

      @@aldonova4082 Ah, ok.
      Well, Q-Tip didn’t use it for songs that I’m aware of. He’s talked about the gear he used quite a bit. Of course, Peoples Instinctive Travels and Low End Theory both came out before ‘92, so Midnight Marauders is the only album that could have used and ASR 10, but that album doesn’t sound anything like the ASR.
      The one thing that seemed out of left field was a guy on gear space-or some gear site like that-that claimed he talked to Q-Tip at a recording studio during the Renaissance sessions, and Tip allegedly said he also messed around with one of the Ensoniq EPS versions. So it’s possible that some of the earlier stuff may have used Ensoniq, but not the ASR. But that’s the only time I’ve ever heard Q-Tip mentioned with Ensoniq, and who knows how reliable that piece of gossip is?
      And even if Q-Tip said that, you never know if he’s just fucking with people? I know if some random dude came up to me asking how I got my drums to sound like this or that, there is a high likelihood that I will mislead or flat out lie about what I did or used. “Yeah, I used this old Roland sampler to do that beat. It’s a real quirky machine, very unique swing, so it gave those drums a certain je ne sais quoi!”
      To my ears-however inaccurate/accurate they may be-the vast majority of his classic production work was done using the Large Professor method (fellow Queensbridge legend who literally taught Q-Tip his method) of sampling in the S950, and sequencing/and or doing additional drums in the MPC or SP-1200. And the Ummah period was all later period MPC’s and sounds very much like it. Of course, Dilla didn’t use the ASR, either. So … pretty much back to where I started with my original comment.

I've been using an ASR10 since 1994 just because I know it front to back and don't feel like relearning a new machine that took me years to fully understand what I already have. Maybe I shouldn't be stuck in my ways but anyway. Just added an SD drive via scsi and stopped using the unreliable floppy drive. Also, finally got an output expander and a Tascam model 12 to individual track out / properly mix beats.

    Funny hearing you say the ASR-10 only has this amount of RAM and only 2 audio tracks and only this and only that when at the time those specs were crushing the competition. The MPC-60 had like 1.5 MB. The SP-1200 only had 256 KB. Non of them had audio tracks. Plus the ASR could sample in stereo and had built in FX. To look back 30 years it seems low tech, but at the time it was Godzilla.

This was before computers were everywhere.... The ASR10 did it all in one box if you needed to and at a much cheaper price.

All the good ones cost over 3k..The Kronos, Montage, or New Fantom series..Anything for 1k or under doesn't really have a good sampler..I would probably get a used Fantom x or g series or the Motif es xs or xf series..the es got a small screen..and the xf are still pretty expensive like 2k..The Triton extreme is also ok and has usb.

    I got an ASR10 in 1993 and my primary love was electronic music (House, Techno, Ambient). I have used Logic since 2008, but I swear I seem to make better tunes when using the ASR10, primarily. It's really easy to throw your ideas down with the onboard sequencer. However, it does take a lot of work to get your samples inputted. But the synthesis on the ASR10 is wonderful, as well as the onboard FX.
    I remember back in 1996 when I'd take a demo tape to a studio, engineers would ask, "What equipment are you using?" When I told 'em an ASR10, they would always ask what other equipment did I have. They didn't believe it was just the ASR10.
    If you have one, you should get the ZIP drive installed within the ASR10. There's a guy, FORAT, in Los Angeles, that does this installation. This way, the floppy drive is replaced with ZIP disk drive. Talk about sweet!!!

    I've been using the Ensoniq EPS 16 plus since 90 or 91. Actually, two of them for live performance. I've done radio and television commercials with them as well.
    I know they're old school but they are edgy and amazing especially when you tri-amp in stereo (which they say can't be done but I've been doing it for over 30 years) Gauss 600 w subs (mono of course), 600 w JBL pro series 12-in transducers for the mids and 27 lb JBL high frequency horn drivers. Most people have never heard sound that transparent. It's like you can see the space that surrounds each note played. Anyhow...
    My scuzzy hard drive finally bit the dust. But I sent it to Chicken Systems/Rubber Chicken software who are Ensoiq specialists to retrieve data off the disk and for a little over a hundred bucks replaced my mechanical scuzzy hard drive with a scuzzy SD hard drive.
    If you've been using Ensoniq for any length of time you probably have dealt with these guys. If not, they are the go-to guys for anything Ensoniq.
    Just ask for Garth. He founded rubber chicken over 30 years ago. Tell him Neil Jones sent you.

    @Dyreck Productions this was my first sampler and I bought it used from this music store is Syricuse called Daddy's Junky Music. So I drove 2hrs from Rochester NY to Syricuse to get this machine because I heard Devante Swing from Jodeci made the album Diary Of A Mad Band on it. And this keyboard was heavy. It was the 88 key version. When I got it I hated it. I could not figure out how to use it to save my life. I traded to my homeboy for his mpc 2000xl. IMO the only good thing about the ASR 10 is the warm sound and the effects. You can't beat those effects to this day. They just have this warm sound. That keyboard has this grimey warm sound. Also you can chop your sample across the keys without using any memory

    Ensoniq is an oddball company in general. That's what makes them cool. If you want your stuff to sound unique and not like everything else that's out there just grab any one of their synths and it'll force you to sound different. When everyone else is using presets from their DX7s or Tritons or Junos that have all been used over and over just grab an ESQ1 and within 2 minutes you'll have awesome sounds coming out that are actually interesting.

    Any real beat maker whos owned an ASR-10 knows what it means to truly compose and produce a hip hop joint... Theres no auto chop, no library of drum sounds to pick from, no sample library or vst's, no step sequencer with pre programmed templates to automatically make the beat for you... With the ASR-10 you TRULY had to make the beat... Anyone who understands hip hop from the perspective of an ASR, an SP12 or even an mpc 60 - aint nobody fuckin wit you when it comes to hip-hop production... Those machines represent the era of REAL AUTHENTIC "cook up" beat making.. Sold my ASR a couple years back but would love to get another one eventually... I have 8 sneaker boxes & one draw filled with floppy diskettes of all my drums & samples over the years since 95... Some serious heat on them disks... The ASR also has some dope Effects & filters...
