Just got ahold of an ASR-88 last week. It is EVERYTHING I hoped it would be and MORE. Your videos on Ensoniq boards have been a huge help for me this past couple months since I started falling down the Ensoniq rabbit hole. Thank you!
Thanks for this bro! The ASR-10 was before its time. I still use it today. The sounds are raw and gives you that analog feel that is hard to come by with software. These keyboards sell for as much as it did when it came out in 1992. I have every library released. Dope board.
14:26 I used to turn on the ASR with no banks loaded I was able to create sounds just by playing with the effects delays feedback, modulate that sounds and sample it. That was my little muscle flex 💪🏾
Thank you, sir. I stalked a 16+ for a year- the seller wouldn't ship, & it was a luxury buy for me, so it never matched. Then I knew it was meant for me, bought it, & since it was near family- I had someone pick it up. I didn't retrieve it & get it home for over a year & 3 months. I've had it now since early July. Unfortunately, it's not like I can spend whole days with it- it's piecemeal. But I love it. I already am an Ensoniq owner since 1986 or 87 (SQ|80)... & I'm not a hip hop artist, or anything like that, & I have for years dropped in movie sound clips, etc. into tracks, even composing music around these soundbytes... but it's the synthesis capabilities that drove me to seek this synth out, frankly. And, the effects, which I want to share w/ my SQ|80. While I was waiting to make a move on/pick up the 16+, I snagged an Alesis Quadroverb 2, in lieu of the DP4+. By the way, the 16+ is museum quality, Turbo, & came with loads of CDs & disks & soundsets. The thing is, I have way too many sounds w/ all my synths; however, nothing compares to the sampled ones from 1990 or whenever, even if it takes a minute to load one up. Now, mostly, I don't even have to wait, b/c it came w/a CD drive & an external SCSI drive. However, after a month or so- the drive quit. :( No worries, I have EVERYTHING on disk, & I welcome the opportunity to rebuild the library when I get an SD type drive that's available from SampleZone for the EPS's. Anyway, my man- I'm so thankful for your enthusiasm for this instrument. I also have Korg Karma, & there's an individual who is like the world's greatest fan of it, runs a FB group, etc. It's refreshing to know there are other people out there who daily use this gear. There can definitely be a ghostly, lonesome feeling. I've had it w/ the SQ|80, & the Karma- thankfully, there are some serious users still out there. Everything you said in this video, highlights the fact that though Ensoniq might not still be around- neither is Stradivarius- yet his violins are coveted & still played today.
Niiiice. I gotta say, soon after obtaining an eps 16+ and finally messing with it for a few days I realized... how the fk do I save anything ?!?!?! Lol but 2, these machines are and can be a complete production center if one puts in the time to become proficient with it. I love love love my MPC 2000 ( og) , but the capabilities of thee ASRs and EPS are Leaps ahead.
Wanted to drop in and say thank you for your thoughtful content on hardware samplers. Could never afford a ASR10 back in the day but having borrowed one the filter was second to none. Also, loved your podcast on the AKAI s20.
Hey! It so nice to see your beautiful self on the screen :) Thanks so much for all you do, you're an amazing teacher. Everything you say in this video is so true ... in my experience. ✌🏽
I got an eps classic a few years ago, and i immediately fell in love. Ive been thinking about sniffing out an asr10 too, bc it just sounds so incredible. I wish they still made samplers that didnt try to be as transparent as possible
Thanks to your videos on transwaves, I decided to buy an ASR-10 two years ago, after considering it for more than a decade! I was even offered a working one for $300 back in 2009, but turned it down cause I didn't know much about it. The loop point modulation is what got my attention, then once I got it, the sound, the build quality, the way it operates, even just the look of it keeps me intrigued to the point that now it's my main weapon. I hardly use anything else in terms of synthesizers or instruments and even when I do they end up going into the ASR-10.
Thank You miss my Asr 10 still have a TS10 with all my old samples. Last of my Ensoniq after ASR10 TS 10 ASRX Fizmo SQ1 and Ensoniq Dp 4. Sold them all 5 years ago big mistake. Thank you..
I’m here because I have nostalgia of my 10 years sleeping with the ASR 10. A friend teach me about samplers back in 2000, I bought one for 400€ in 2001, I sold it to a friend 10 years later because I had no choice 😢
I got one for a year now, at first i didnt like thé séquencer. But i worked a lot on it and in fact, now i really séquence all in it, then do the song mode, and to bounce live on my daw, i mute tracks live on asr10, its really dope
I love the sound of this and the mirage I just need to figure out how to save the sounds with the sequencer data with having cd rom and scsi to sd in the change a load of sounds are available for both of these I like the factory demo sequences on the cd rom and I love that basically I have all of the eps library the 16 plus and the asr10 factory sounds and lots of sounds from third party sounds
Also because if you add the number of the letter in alphabet for A, S & R & then add '10' you get 2024!!!!!!!! Whaaaat!! ... My Ensoniq ♥ (to date): 2 X ASR 10 Keyboards (1 X LED, 1 X Purple Screen) *Both with OEX-6sr & SCSI & 1 with DI-10 1 X ASR-10 Rack 2 X TS10 1 X SQ80 1 X EPS
Hi! Back in 2019, when I had zero experience with music making besides owning a MPC1000 for a month or so, and decided to trade it for an ASR-88. That was the best decision I have ever made. Now I have the chance to buy a second ASR-88. I haven't seen any other one besides mine and the one I'm planning to buy in Turkey so I don't want to miss. Any cool ideas using two at the same time? I am planning to keep the new one untouched in case if something ever happens to the one I own right now tho I want to test two of them together to their limits :D I have a SE/30 with Alchemy (68k Macintosh software for drawing samples) if it helps
@@moreandmorehits Right! I seem to remember that it was one of the OS that had this sequencer bug. I may have done what you did but it was too long ago to remember!

Just wanted to drop in to say that you've been my go-to ASR resource ever since I got my first board 10+ years ago. Really appreciate what you do!

I got a 16 plus for a steal just.... gotta learn the workflow.. Im very excited

got one for $100 bucks the other day. need to replace the drive but im stoked!
@@bsharp310an asr10 for $100 😮😮 wow
I still use it today, 30 years of loyal service. And thanks to you, the legend lives on, you are the guardian of the memory of Ensoniq samplers.
Okay okay after this video imma buy one I've been thinking about the ASR-10 for years. It's Time for me to explore this beat
Still rocking with the ASR10 to this day!
You speak with such conviction my friend. I am very interested in this now. Thanks

I bought Eps16 plus because of You man. Thank you very much. I love it since the first moments.

Thanks for this. I'll be watching this again and reading the text over again- as usual, inspiration will follow.

i bought the ASR in 1996 and still running fine !
Love your channel, man. Huge Ensoniq fan here. Keep up the great work!
Idk how i caught this but glad to see you back on the ASR topic ! Let’s get the sample vids going !
I had one for 12yrs I learned how upgrade the ram and repair the keyboard I wish never got rid of mines
I love my ASR-10, I have a new project coming out soon and about 16 of the 23 beats were made on it.
I’m here because I have nostalgia of my 10 years sleeping with the ASR 10. A friend teach me about samplers back in 2000, I bought one for 400€ in 2001, I sold it to a friend 10 years later because I had no choice 😢
I got one for a year now, at first i didnt like thé séquencer. But i worked a lot on it and in fact, now i really séquence all in it, then do the song mode, and to bounce live on my daw, i mute tracks live on asr10, its really dope
EPS classic!! 48 ppqn is 🔥🔥.
Another video from the master 🙌🏾
I want one NOW!
I love the sound of this and the mirage I just need to figure out how to save the sounds with the sequencer data with having cd rom and scsi to sd in the change a load of sounds are available for both of these I like the factory demo sequences on the cd rom and I love that basically I have all of the eps library the 16 plus and the asr10 factory sounds and lots of sounds from third party sounds
Also because if you add the number of the letter in alphabet for A, S & R & then add '10' you get 2024!!!!!!!! Whaaaat!!
... My Ensoniq ♥ (to date):
2 X ASR 10 Keyboards (1 X LED, 1 X Purple Screen) *Both with OEX-6sr & SCSI & 1 with DI-10
1 X ASR-10 Rack
2 X TS10
1 X SQ80
1 X EPS
These. Are Facts !!
ASR-10 is the best Period
Still have one sitting in a case. Haven't touched it in decades
is it possible to change the samplerate of samples after sampling the sound? (eps classic)
because is super awesome still
What camera did you use for this video?

I bought a asr rack but every time i try to sequence it with mpc there is a midi lag. Anyone experience this?
Workflow is easy
Bruh, the ASR-10 has some significant bugs that will never be fixed, including drift when playing the sequencer.
I seem to have better luck with the asr sequencer when I use OS 3.53
Sucks, i bought a rack. Sound amazing but the midi lag makes it unusable 😢
@@818staccatobeats still a classic, but classics are classic for a reason!
@@moreandmorehits Right! I seem to remember that it was one of the OS that had this sequencer bug. I may have done what you did but it was too long ago to remember!
I still have my EPS classic that I got during the pandemic. Gonna start using it again with my MPCs
