    Nice! I'm a little jealous. I think in the end, when I'm ready to get another keyboard, I'm going to try to go for a Bluetooth midi with the best feel. I'll have to go and re-assess everything all over, but I think Bluetooth LE for Midi should be great for low midi latency and make my rig easier (I'd never use bluetooth for audio though). It would be nice if Arturia (or anyone for that matter), put out a Bluetooth version with a great keybed. :smile:

    I have BT MIDI dongles permanently attached, works great.
    The power consumption is so low that you can power the thing from a tiny 1-cell powerbank for 20 hours or more. Completely wireless is good 😊

  • Another BIG fan of the EPS16+, bought mine from new & fitted all upgrades, 2mb, flash RAM, SCSI 2 SD etc, only sampler I’ve experienced that sounds better than the original sample source. Love the easy to use sequencer too.
    BM3 seems to be the iOS closest, would love to see TAL sampler for iPad.

    PS Thanks for the Waveboyz! 👍😎

    Yep, that's the way I want to go in the future. :smile:

  • I owned the mirage, the mirage rack, the eps, the eps16, the asr10, and the asrx original... I miss ensoniq!

    It was a sad day indeed when Ensoniq and E-mu closed their doors. (Ensoniq were acquired by Creative iirc who merged them with E-mu).

    Emu had already been pretty much neutered by then but Ensoniq had some really cool stuff like PaRIS in development that showed they still had much to offer.

    Ahh cool. I had to remove my flashbank and SCSI upgrade cards as they were both faulty. One of the capacitors on the flashbank actually burnt through a ribbon cable!

    I am tempted to replace the SCSI card and get a scsi2sd but at the moment my EPS is working perfectly with the floppy emulator I fitted. I might just stick with that. It’s dead slow and it makes file management tricky compared to SCSI but I don’t want to risk damaging the eps and and as the memory card I fitted was by the same manufacturer as the other upgrades I’m not sure plugging a SCSI card into it is a good idea.

  • I have a Microtech SCSI card reader in my ESI-32 and compared CF cards with different speed specs: they were all the same, so it‘s the sampler‘s internal transfer rate defining performance.
    Unfortunately the EPS doesn‘t support midi sample dump over SCSI, so the floppy emulator is probably the best option.

    The floppy emulator is slow as it still runs at floppy data rates.. I used to use a SCSI hard drive and it was very fast. But it burnt itself out.

    The best thing about the floppy emulator is you can save all the disk images on Mac/pc and organise which images you put on the SD cards.

    The worst thing about that is that (at least with the HXC emulator I have) is that the disks are named with the format DSK0000.HFE So you don’t know which disk is which without keeping notes.
    I have started saving a text file on the SD card though with lists of what is ok what disk but I’m rubbish at keeping it updated.

    With a SCSI hard drive you can have a hierarchical file system just like any desktop. But I don’t use the EPS because it’s fast. I can live with long loading times. It only has 2MB to fill :-)

    It’s amazing how much I used to stuff into 2MB + 1MB flashbank (on which I used to have a custom drum kit with loads of bass drums, snares etc which got used on many songs. Shame I lost it.).

  • I was going to buy Paris back in the day but ensoniq was gone soon after...I forgot to mention I also owned the dp4 as well used to love that too
