in 1993 there was the year of the Korg 01/W and Roland JV1000 but Ensoniq TS10 was more cinematic and lush sounding but lost due to lack of marketing power and global distribution. Only discerning composers and sound designers bought the TS10 and the difference stood out in their work. Film Soundtracks, Documentaries and ambient music tracks.. underrated and underappreciated genius of a synthesizer

[@eaglechildkeys]

True, it doesn't get the recognition it deserves, sadly.. Thanks for watching ;-)

[@jonathanwillis1143]

I think the Kurzweil K2000 came out in 1993, but maybe that was 1992. Korg's O1/W came out in 1990 and the Floppy Drive unit came out in 1991. But I agree with you. Korg's marketing for the 01 was all over the place. Not a bad board for sure. There are many aspects of the 01 I just love. Never owned one, but I was close to getting one. They were very sexy in a lot of ways but I had a local dealer with a rep that turned me onto the Ensoniq SD-1. I wasn't a pop or rock guy and I needed something to help me compose and arrange concert band, marching band, jazz, and some orchestral stuff for my school and a few others. He played me the Stravinsky demo that was on the SD-1 and I was blown away. The SD-1 didn't look as sexy as the Korg but he sold me on the concept of how the Ensoniq worked. I bought it and then they sent the unit back to Malvern, PA so Ensoniq could update the OS to 32 voice and expand the Sequencer to 78,000 notes. I used that board for over a decade and loved it. Big mistake when I sold that machine. I didn't buy the Ensoniq TS-10 because I already had the SD-1 (they were close but the TS was much more powerful). I did attend the TS-10 Demo that our local music retailer held and it was amazing. But you're right, Ensoniq did not have the marketing muscle that Korg. I truly felt the TS-10 was close or on par with the Kurzweil K2000 at the time. Deep programming capabilities.

[@hermeslord]

@@jonathanwillis1143 nice.. SD 1 was overshadowed by the TS twins soon after.. One thing i realised is not to fall for marketing hype and take enough time to kick the tyres at dealerships or hanging around friendly jam gigs/ studios to finally understand the ones with true potential that suits you. Even now i see tons of montage/ kronos/ fantoms everywhere and realising they are almost interchangeable and no real distinguishing character makes me think twice about the choices to me made

HIGHLLLY under-rated machine ! EXTREMELY underrated . . . yet such a BEASSST of an engineering against ALLLL the pop brands ! Wayyyyy ahead of its TIME ! i am so glad that you captured it in its True Glory :)

[@eaglechildkeys]

Thanks man! Totally agree with that! 🙏🎹

[@HJPhilippi]

In the 90s, when it came out, the TS-10 was an unaffordable dream for me. But fortunately it was always completely underrated, so in the early 2000s I got a brand new stock unit at a ridiculously low price. And here it still is, shining and giving me joy every day! 🙂

[@thomasmatthews8873]

Definitely overlooked. It took 18 years for me to finally get one. Everyone is chasing ASR10s and missing the boat.

[@eaglechildkeys]

Absolutely! The Ensoniq doesn't get the recognition it truly deserves. While the ASR10s are great, there's a unique charm and power in the Ensoniq that many seem to miss out on. Glad you've discovered its potential after 18 years. Better late than never! 👍🎵

[@crhkrebs]

That’s why I own them both!

[@felipepaez2556]

Besides the spectacular textures, I found your playing VERY interesting and immersive. Good to hear a demo with real musical substance... kudos! As a side note, I owned a TS-10 Plus some 20 years ago.

@@eaglechildkeys sadly I can’t see that happening…. shame their sound cards were so successful in comparison to their synths(!), and Creative who were after this brand new tech/market space bought them out …. and broke ‘em 😢

We all do!

[@Me-sr9gn]

Nice demo. I use to sell them and used one live back then. Out of all of the boards I used back then the TS was my main board because of it sounds, effects and the fantastic sequencer. I'm currently the proud owner of 4 TS-10s and will buy more when able. I also have a few other Ensoniqs. I will never sell them because nothing has anything close to their sound and I have always loved making and using hyperwave on them.

[@eaglechildkeys]

True. Nothing like Ensoniq. It's sound is very unique, I have never listened something similar in other synth ;-)

[@gydur]

I owned a VFX once...great synth. Now looking for TS 10 or 12...

[@imageguy01]

I still have my ts10. Not playing much these days so will probably sell it to someone who appreciates it.

[@vincenzoguerra]

Splendido strumento! Dalla VFX, passando per la SD1 per arrivare alla TS10, i pads creati con la sintesi Transwave di Ensoniq hanno permesso di caratterizzare sul piano timbrico gli anni '80 e '90 in maniera sensibilmente diversa sia rispetto al suono puramente analogico sia rispetto al suono campionato sia rispetto al suono in FM. Grazie per questo tuo bel lavoro, per me emozionante! Complimenti! 😎🎹🎶🚀

[@eaglechildkeys]

Thank you! Grazie Vicenzo! 🙏✨

[@xiaoxia5]

i appreciated, and respected Ensoniq synths, but never bought one. i was more of a Korg/Roland person. for samplers, i used Akai, and E-MU products. thanks for posting this video, because even though i've probably heard similar sounds on records, i never knew where they came from.

okie doke, managed to score a TS12 from its first owner who had it for all this time. Your video definitely didn't push me towards buying it 😂.

[@thomasmatthews8873]

Between 1993 and 1996, every significant musician, producer and prospective wannabes within a 50 mile radius of Fayetteville NC had an Ensoniq in the fold. From Mirage to SD1 to VFX SD2 to ASR/EPS to SQ2 to the legendary TS10/12. Ensoniq brought something to the production space that demanded and continues to command respect for their products years after the demise of the company.

[@therealandrecorbin4050]

I own two TS12s, these are excellent keyboards, I mostly use the sequencer for a writing tool and practice friend.

[@eaglechildkeys]

There is no other synth with a similar sound like Ensoniq. Very underrated and unique ;-)

[@wilcandou]

There was a particular piano-pad sound that used to glitch in the effects. Never found out what it was... must have been a bug. But it drove me nuts that I wound up selling it 😢

[@MorbidManoeuvres]

mind melting, did you make these sounds ? how can i get them ? thanks great video !

[@eaglechildkeys]

Appreciate the feedback! I no longer have the Ensoniq, but those tones, to the best of my memory, were straight from the factory presets. Try to join also Ensoniq groups in Facebook, almost sure they have the sounds! Hope that helps, and thanks for watching! ;-)

[@paulroux5003]

Nice one ! congratz! Is this the factory stock sound or other ones?

[@eaglechildkeys]

Thank you Paul. Just Factory presets :-)

[@DadoSimicStudiostriver]

Very smooth sounding synth, prefer it over many digital synths.

[@eaglechildkeys]

Hey Dado, sorry for the late reply man... Yes, me too. Super underrated synth capable of a very atmospheric sounds!

[@HJPhilippi]

The TS-10 is literally a massive instrument.... great sounds milled into an incredibly heavy and high quality metal casing. :-) The keybed alone is so very special in its pressure and repetition behavior - no other digital synthesizer from the 90s has as much character in my opinion!

[@eaglechildkeys]

Agree with that ;) And after the TS series , Ensoniq also came with the MR. series. That was one step further in built characteristics. Very heavy , but a pure tank with a very nice feeling keybed 👍

[@HJPhilippi]

@eaglechildkeys In fact, I disassembled & cleaned the keybed once when my TS-10 had trouble to recognize it. A known issue of its age, that was fixed on my device by a service tech who replaced the controller chip for the keyboard. What I want to say is: *WOW* This is material quality! You don't find anything like this anymore.

[@YchchataTohtobul]

Просто фантастика❤

[@eaglechildkeys]

Thank you! 💫🙏🎹🎶

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

It probably would’ve been wise move if I had opted to get one of these in the early 2000s when my fanaticism for the synthesizer really kicked in. I was getting a few different kinds of them during the first half of that decade, and this should’ve been one of them.

Now they are forgotten, since Ensoniq had owned by Emu. And since Emu had bought by Creative Labs who produces massive SoundBlaster sound cards, they've gone.

[@eaglechildkeys]

True... E-mu also did very nice synths. Still I own my “Classic Keys” and soon Proteus 2000.

[@brianmorrell264]

hey ! this is so awesome, you did a really amazing job. i've been peeping a lot of your vids and you are absolutely killer at sound design, you make the exact type of stuff that i'm into. question: do you have advice on how i can make patches that have evolving layers on other equipment (jv1080, m1, etc), like the first patch? This synth sounds so nice and i want to try and make my own, not sure how to go about it without biting the bullet and buying one of these puppies. thanks!

[@eaglechildkeys]

Hey Brian! Thanks a lot man...! ;-) If you are refeering to the PAD of the intro, maybe with 2 Saw waveforms detuned , cutoff filter at the minimum , and a bit of portamento, you can get something similar. However I think that get the tone of the Ensoniq it's not easy in other synths. They had their unique sound and character! ;-)

[@luvyesmusici4886]

That is the main problem with this keyboard. You don’t really play it. You can make great sounds for hours on end. Sometimes I don’t touch mine for a long time, because you really don’t want to play with it for only half an hour, you want to play it for hours. Of course it is a work station, so you can compose, but you are only going to get one sound at a time, unless you add some track recorder. I love people who can program and sequence. I just don’t have that kind of time. But I am still happy I bought my TS 10. It was a lot of money back then. They also had a short when they first came out, which made them inoperable. Other than a long drive to bring it back and to drive back to pick it up, not too bad. Ensoniq had quite the history back in the day, with some famous musicians.
