Ensoniq TS 10 Meditations - Hyperwaves and Pads

[@HJPhilippi]

The Ensoniq synthesizers are unrivaled to this day: their incredible material quality, built like tanks. The extremely high-quality keybed with unique feel. And this unmistakable sound of the 90s. Digital, yet full of character and warmth. I love my TS-10 and hope it will never give up the ghost.

[@manueldelavega9745]

There's an offer at my town going for 200 but is it worth it? I was thinkong on grabing on that one still have my doubts

[@HJPhilippi]

@@manueldelavega9745 Depends... on its condition, your level of experience, your expectations and what you want to do with it. 1000 aspects. Ultimately, it is a collector's item and a contemporary instrument of the 1990s. For 200 (EUR, USD?) you get easier to learn and more versatile VST instruments, e.g. Arturia Pigments. But the Ensoniq metal beasts have their very special charm.

@@manueldelavega9745 depends on its condition and what you expect from it... Today it is more of a collector's item and a contemporary witness of the 1990s. For 200 (EUR, USD?) you can get a software instrument that can do much more and is easier to use, e.g. Arturia Pigments. Nevertheless, I wouldn't sell my TS-10 for any money in the world. It simply belongs to me. :-)

I just picked up a mint SQ1Plus on Ebay for $200. It was a one owner keyboard. It just arrived today and came with a gig bag. Beautiful shape

@@DocFirewire It was the Don Solaris TS10 Demo that caused me to 1.) Keep my Roland XV 5080 and my Roland JV-880 2.) Sell my JD 990 to finance the TS10. It sounds THAT good.

[@trevor_mounts_music]

Everything this company made was top notch and i've never seen ANY of it in the wild, at shops, in a friends studio etc. If find anything with Ensoniq printed on it I'd buy it on sight at this point. They have this super new age-y vibe that sounds like the future we were promised but never got 😂

[@luisgarbizuteclados]

Superb! Beautiful music & synth 👏👏👏👏

[@EddieEther]

Fantastic demos with even better sounds.. all the stock sounds do not sound like this. These are excellent creations that show the time taken to shape the waves. I have a TS12 and I really need to spend more time learning this Synth! Peace, E

[@quasarlight7999]

Amazing sound... I am just flying away above and above to seventh sky...

[@whatistau]

In Love with its sound

[@soundinmind]

Awesome sounds. Even after all these years!

[@gnordache4405]

I hated them back in the day because all of a sudden they were pretty much everywhere, and I missed the analogue sounds of my early childhood. Nowadays I LOVE them. They were the sound of an era that was so different from today: no mobile phones, no internet and a lifestyle that was increasingly technological but still way slower than today. They sounded so fresh back then, so dated today (but funnily enough not cheesy or cheap as many DX7 or M1 presets).

[@LavLab]

Love my TS-10!!! 👽👍

[@FHVILLANOVA]

This TS10 is in great shape and audio output without a noise!

[@this_connor_guy]

@joe curtin Funny enough, I got a Korg X3R beforehand because I love those M1 sounds, and my friend advised me that the X3 is better. So I get the TS-10 and I'm like, "oh this is INFINITELY better"

[@davidknight754]

Contact Syntaur out of San Antonio. They might be able to fix it.

[@Rocky-ne9vf]

@@davidknight754 No. The only guy who can fix them is Thesoniq in San Jose, CA . The pro repair tech shops don't have schematics. Things like bad electrolytic caps or a bad ribbon connector or broken audio jack can be fixed by lots of people. But with no schematic not many will work on them.

[@Rocky-ne9vf]

Stuart, Where do you live? With name like Brightwell you must live in UK or Aussie

[@davidknight754]

Rocky 1918 I guess you have never heard of Sam Mims at Syntaur. His company has been repairing, supporting, and performed sound design on just about every Ensoniq board since the early 80s. He was featured in almost every Transoniq Hacker magazine offering tips tricks and programming advise. He is the real deal. I’m sure your guy in San Jose can work on it too. How about we chill a bit and accept that there may be more than one source for getting these repaired.

[@Rocky-ne9vf]

@@davidknight754 I know about Syntaur. Sam is a good guy. And sure, salvaged circuit boards, when available, can be swapped in. But troubleshooting a TS circuit board is just not going to happen, other than replace maybe bad electrolytic caps. Ensoniq Corp never made schematics available outside their factory.

[@hrresonance]

Wonderful demo showcasing the lushness of these machines. Never owned one of these beasts but the VFX-SD came really close to alot of the sounds on the TS-10. I recorded a few cds using nothing but Ensonis ESQ-1 and VFX-SD all ambient music. If anyone care to check the music out its here hrresonance.bandcamp.com/album/soniq-variants

[@thekyotoconnection]

Thanks!!! We did care! We know your amazing music since many years, congratulations on such a good work!

[@DocFirewire]

I started with the VFX-SD as well, but when I got my TS12 it literally opened up a complete new universe of sound. This machine is a sexy beast, you just gotta learn how to tame it. If you can get your hands on a used TS10 or 12, give it a try! Yes, even in 2019!

[@kalli_plays6741]

EXCELLEND I want to cry...

[@KCJazzKeys]

First time I heard this keyboard was on Aquarium Rescue Unit's "In A Perfect World" played by the late Kofi Burbridge, (aside from the real B3 and piano on the album). I always loved the layered sound of the EP, Pad etc sounds on some of this album. Makes me want to track one of these down and buy it!

[@whatistau]

I wonder what triggers when you gear those old ensoniq sounds. They different from all the other synths of the past. warm and nostalgic, like a video game music engine but cinematic. Unique realy

[@LivermoreFilm]

Can you please tell me what sound is at the 7:20 mark and the 8:20 mark? I have a TS10 and would love to upload these sounds to my machine! Hope to hear from you soon. thank you!

[@DocFirewire]

Its bigger brother TS12 is still my favorite synth for spacy and spheric sounds, bit complicated to program but excellent sounding and outstanding capabilities, especially the effects processor which was also seperately sold as the DP/4. Let alone Hyperwaves, which kicked any competitors ass back in 1994 when I bought it, including the famous Wavestation. Loved every single keyboard they made, always affordable and pretty powerful. Ensoniq would definately deserve a comeback, but Creative Trashology ruined it, its so sad!

[@Rocky-ne9vf]

The TS12 and the TS10 are the exact same sound engine and audio circuitry.

[@theaudioeng]

@@Rocky-ne9vf Indeed!! ... but importantly the TS-10 has rare Poly Aftertouch (their version namely 'Poly-Key(TM)' ] - I have this synth 😁🎹🎶👍🍻

[@bronxcartel6193]

[@jwillis35]

Did the TS-10 have some similarities to the Korg Wavestation? They seem to do some similar things. I remember being blown away by the Ensoniq TS-10 when it came out, but I had the SD-1. I wanted the ASR-10 badly, but by the time I could afford one the game had changed with computers and sampling. Still, now I see how we can use some hardware and software, especially with multi-track recording in our DAW being so easy and affordable, some of this old hardware would be cool. The TS-10 sounds like it would be a great sound design tool to go along with some true analog and some of the new sound libraries for my DAW.

[@RyanParkerTV]

is it possible to use your own waveforms in the hyperwave sequence?

[@thekyotoconnection]

Sadly, no. Only with internal waves...

[@RyanParkerTV]

@@thekyotoconnection Aw ok thanks. At first that seems disappointing but then i dunno you probably wouldn't want to add your own modern sample tapes to a mellotron. I guess the internal waveforms of the Ts-10 define the instrument sound in the same way (at least with hyperwaves)

[@EquestrianSport]

your sounds are really amazing !! I can't think of any synth that sounds like this. I had a Korg wave station AD and It was a nightmare to program, even with sound diver. How much trouble was it to get these sounds?

[@summerlaverdure]

hands up if you thought the first song was gonna be The Path of Wind from Totoro

[@martesmuerto]

are this the preset sounds??? or loaded after

[@EquestrianSport]

I had a VFX that I regret daily selling. The TS 10 seems to have a bigger sound ? any one have thoughts on the differences?

[@Rocky-ne9vf]

Look up Don Solaris for info re: VFX and TS10.

[@hurricane6014]

I bought the VFX new and toured daily with it for years then traded for new TS 10. They both worked great for what they do ( waves ). Personally, I preferred the V just because it was lighter and cut through the mix better. Now, sadly there are issues with the T and I don’t know what to do with it. Upper octave is not sounding and boot up is glitching so, need to sell.
