Ensoniq EPS Classic 4x Memory Expansion by Zin Circuits

[@olesolja1407]

I been waiting for this vid. I just copped an EPS with an unnamed or unlabeled expander. I needed to know how to check for this particular detail. I’m about to go check it out in a few shakes. Thanks for posting this one. Congratulations by the way.😎👍🏾

10.65 @24.0 sample rate..guess I will be check out Zin C. Thanks again for sharing.

@@olesolja1407 looks like you have don’t have any memory expansion. You can probably find a cheap 2x expander. I’m just being greedy with my memory 😂

@@lugo4905 yep. That’s what I suspected. That particular expander unit must be an off-brand serving as a port cover I guess. I have contacted Zin C., and waiting for a reply. It’s good that you have one. That’s definitely a good thing.

Well what a ya know, I took the expander out and flipped it the other way and that made a difference. So it was upside down when I bought it I guess. Now at 52.1 kHZ it is showing 9.91 sec sample time. Cool beans. Had it not been for your vid I still would not have known at this point. So it must be the 2 x memory expansion. That made my evening.

@@olesolja1407 you can get a lot done with the 2x expansion. I just wanted to be able to load more sounds, but I’ve never had an issue with memory when creating a beat with the 2x memory. Just sample at lower rates. Drum breaks sound dope at 12 or 16.

bought an eps today for 200 bucks. luckily it already had this expansion installed:)

Hello, I have an Ensoniq EPS. How do I transpose a song/sequence down 2 steps? Thanks.

[@peaterrepeater4441]

Would be cool if someone would clone the output expander.

Where you get this from?

[@lugo4905]

Zin Circuits they only have a Facebook page, but you can order from there

Hi there thank you for all the vids, quick question my eps was working fine but today got wierd error messages : orrr1144 reboot it loads or tries to load the OS disk man just got this!

[@lugo4905]

That error code is usually associated with a midi error. Try disconnecting any midi cables from the EPS

@@lugo4905 wow thank you for the quick response guess what here and where I live in the Bay Area there is the only certified ensoniq emu repair shop in the nation I think! “The Soniq” so I’m probably just gonna take her in to get some TLC! I also own a mirage your videos are priceless thank you so much! God bless you!

Oh my goodness man can we correspond I also have a asr-10 that I'm getting ready to have refurbished so my goal is to have Ableton Zen beats M-Audio code series 61 run together is that possible how would you? I'm open to any suggestions thank you thank you thank you for your content!!!

[@lugo4905]

The big question for you is “how do I want to use the asr in this set up?” Do you want to run loops from Zenbeats into it and use it independently and sequence within the asr? Or, do you want to sequence Zenbeats with the asr and trigger sounds in the asr from Zenbeats?

[@DjLamech]

Hi LUGO Oh I thought about your question and what I realized is that I want to create and Sample in the Asr10 Zenbeats & Garage Band. Then finish i.e. effects EQ and master in Ableton. That question it made me think about my workflow. Any suggestions I'm open to thanks again.
