Ensoniq EPS Performance Sampler 61 Key 80's Sampling Synthesiser - 240V
The Ensoniq EPS is a 61-key sampler and synthesiser released in 1988, known for its innovative features at the time. It offered 13-bit sampling with multiple sample rates ranging from 6.25kHz to 52.1kHz, though higher rates reduced polyphony. The EPS allowed for on-the-fly sample loading during live performances, a rare feature for its time. It featured 20-note polyphony, an 8-track sequencer, and the ability to layer and split samples across the keyboard. The EPS also included advanced looping options, digital filters, and extensive MIDI capabilities, making it a versatile tool for both studio production and live performance
