“Ensoniq ESQ-1 with Anvil-style ROAD CASE, metal version, OS 3.5, works but needs a little TLC. Has been in it’s hard case since I retired a few years back. Most recently, it was only used as a MIDI controller keyboard for a Roland Sound Canvas module. Clean, inside and out, but filters need TLC (picture) and shows a low battery warning. All keys, buttons and soft keys work without issue – but – whether a note or multiple notes will make a sound on any given key press is iffy, maybe the filter issue or needs a capacitor replaced. This didn’t affect the MIDI at all when last used, though. The tour style case alone is over $500 new (Gator) and weighs just as much as the keyboard. Includes the pictured cartridges, sequencer expansion cartridge is installed, and functioning Ensoniq sustain pedal. Keyboard dimensions for case: H- 4″, W- 38 5/8″, D- 13 1/2″.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“I’m finally letting go of my beloved and trusty Ensoniq SQ80.
This synth has been in my collection for a long time and has never failed to provide me with inspirational sounds for my music production endeavours.
Not only is the sonic palette unique and equally retro and futuristic but merely the act of loading banks of sounds in vi the be loopy drive is a satisfying process. My kid tells me it has both ADSR and ASMR 🙂
The large bright electroluminescent display provides a bright and clear view of parameters and the dedicated buttons to jump to the vast array of sound design and modulation options work really well.
Back in its day this approach was a real breath of fresh air from the other digital synths with limited buttons and menu diving. And talking of digital, the combo of digital wave tables and sampled transients coupled with the sweet analogue filter will give you bright leads and haunting pads all day long.
Included is a set of discs containing hundreds of sounds that I’ve collected and auditioned over the years, arranged into banks for easy access. It’s always satisfying to click the buttons and hear the floppy drive spring into action. Great piece of gear!” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Here we have a pretty special set up. I am the second owner of this ASR, first owner was a Blue Grass musician who only used it basically as a midi keyboard. It has a few light scrapes, bumps, the signs of wear you’d expect to see on a machine of this age but overall is pretty darn sweet. Device works entirely as it should.
Comes with Cover, Case, RARE 6 Output Expander along with the pedal and an external SD drive loaded with all the original ASR sound discs (and of course has storage space for your projects). Also comes with a floppy boot up, floppy is functional but I prefer the SD connected via SCSI. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Selling my beloved ESQ-1 for parts or repair. The main issue with it is the sound is barely audible which appears to be a fault with the filters. My hunch is that the fault is in the power supply or the power to the filter chips, as it’s unlikely that all 8 filter chips would fail simultaneously.
When going to the hidden Filter Calibration page, the display values are all blank (instead of eight 3-digit values ~140 like it’s supposed to display, and the unit needs to be power cycled to exit the page.
Everything else works great- keys (via midi), buttons, faders, and display. There’s a new RAM battery (2x lithium AA in a battery pack with an On/Off switch) wired to the main board.
Display works perfectly and looks much clearer in real life than in the photos” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Ensoniq ESQ-1 – The early all metal version. This is the keyboard all over Kanye West’s College Dropout album. Really fat basses and pads. This sounded great a few months ago, but now the battery died and it only loads one program. I suck at soldering so it’s sold as-is. A new battery will bring it right back to stock.
There are a few nicks here and there but overall it’s in good condition. I tried to mistakenly clean some keys with nail polish remover and ended up making it worse. Those keys are smudged from the remover. Sold as-is needing a battery.”

“In excellent shape for it’s age. I’ve not gigged with this one and have taken great care of it. (I’m a big Ensoniq fan
and am still using a lot of their other gear as well.)
Has polyphonic aftertouch, a super-intuitive 24-track Ensoniq sequencer, dual 24-bit effects processors (from their
famed DP-4), transwave synthesis, lots of modulation source options. Installed a new floppy drive and internal battery which were both installed last year. Am missing two hex screws on upper panel as seen in pictures but this doesn’t affect performance/operation. Includes power cord and some diskettes with plenty of demo songs/sequences and additional sounds.
Please note: this unit is not only priced lower than that of other sellers (both here and on Reverb.com) and, unlike some other sellers’ SD-1s, this unit is fully functional.
Updated listing re new internal battery and to update item dimensions from pre-filled measurements so shipping cost is more accurate. Also added photos to show lit screen and included diskettes.”

“Ensoniq EPS /OEX-6 Output Expander Vintage Rare.
This is just the output expander and the proprietary cable that goes with the output expander. This device was used to give in sonic EPS Keyboards multiple sets of stereo outputs. This is an accessory made by sonic in the early 90s. Guaranteed to work. Do some research to make sure it’s compatible with your EPS model .”

” This is a great condition, fully functional Ensoniq SD-1 that comes with a padded case AND a comprehensive VFX, VFX-SD and SD-1 preset library that has basically every patch ever written for it. The screen wont photograph well but is fully functional in person. If you are looking at this for the polyphonic aftertouch, it works, but I wouldn’t get it for that.
There is a unique patch switching feature, and it is easy to edit. It sounds awesome and has “that” sound if you’re looking for 80s bread and butter. The logo on the back has some wear but overall its in great condition. I will include a floppy that is required to use the sequencer too.”

“The entry above is from eBay. This item was given to me by a drummer who subsequently vanished, being a drummer, so I have no further information. I have not used it. Nor would I be able to. I like the piano with a sustain pedal.. I see this item has value to some people so am listing it. I can make no representations other than I was told it worked and its clean. Great carrying case. I was told it used floppies, which scared me. No floppies at hand. Also, I do not see a power plug. I cannot make any representations not having used the system. Hence, the low price.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
