Ensoniq Piano Evolution 

long live the vfx sd

I've owned and sold them all in retail. Good stuff. Nothing beat the mirage piano.

My Ensoniq journey began with the Mirage DSK. Then I added an ESQ-1. Then I added an SQ-80. Then I added the VFX SD. Then I added the Ensoniq SDP-1. Last thing I added was the Mirage rack mount. I still have all the above. It was so nice to listen to this video. Your playing is stellar. It's nice to hear the keyboards side by side. Each model has it's own strengths and weaknesses. You put alot of time and effort into this video. Thank you so much for sharing Michel. I hope you still have all these keyboards !

Ts 10 The most popular musical instrument in Uzbekistan

Thank you so much for sharing this. Awesome👍

The most realistic piano sounds for it's time, Ensoniq TS10 rules 😊

amazing video!!!

SQ, KS32 and TS all have the same 16-bit multisample of a grand piano, perhaps its the layer posibilities and effects that makes the TS stand out.

ENSONIQ HA VINTO I PRIMATI di tutti i tempi X i REVERBERI RACK X i Sinth Pink Floyd usavano tale realtà i migliori suoni live copiati da tutti i marchi

Tive um Ensoniq MR-76 , não consigo enxergar o mercado dos tecladistas sem um Ensoniq, como é hoje em dia.

Mirage piano is the best ever

I have a TS-10. Almost any musical style can be played with this keyboard on a high-level , sometimes a top-level. That includes also classic music and various folklore. Thanks to the very effective filters , a sound sample can have three or more characters. The filters moderate the brightness at low velocity , but always open completely at maximum velocity , which leads to huge dynamics , as we know from CD recordings. The filters do not deform the sounds of acoustic instruments at low velocities , so flutes , wind instruments and strings , and of course the Grand-Piano , sound naturally at any velocities. Here are some music pieces that I have composed ... classic-music for a Ballet-Dance : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Fc9KH8OGOH8.html classic-music for a figure-skating performance : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dZfE4B-U61M.html a classic music in a Greek-style : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zOzbng3FmtY.html a Serbian Brass folklore : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HebssFqVq98.html and a Spain flamenco-influenced music for dancing : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xw3w-f-2FnI.html Two Ensoniq TS-10 Sound presentations from me : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3l7EndfTEw0.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-e5tzPDfCMi4.html I search for investors for Musicals. I have a lot melodies for. My email address is shown in the videos , mostly at the end.

Amazing company

Ensoniq ASR10 and 88 fully expanded had the best pianos.

Seems like the Fizmo is missed on this list :)

Pietre miliari

90 percentage of European players are only using a 5 percentage of onboard soungfs in a synthesizer workstation!

WOW. I'm blown away by the mirage! It's hard to tell, but can anyone comment on the expressivity of the synthesis? In a pop mix i wouldn't have known it wasn't real, especially back then.

Cool ts-12 fm(?)piano!

lol that 13:35 under cover of night motif, nicely done

Chronological note: the KT predated the MR series

KT - 1994 MR - 1996

i own the ensoniq sq1 plus 32 voice, ensoniq mr61, TS12, KT88,, I might get a SD1 or VXF or a ZR76.

Weren't the SQ1, SQ2, SQR and KS 32 all the same synth? SQ2 is just a 76-key SQ1, SQR is just a rack mount SQ1 and KS 32 is just a weighted action SQ1. The originals were all 21-voice and then they upgraded to 32-voice. (KS-32 always 32 voice.) I had an SQ2 32-voice and SQRs in both 21 and 32 voice versions. Loved them all.

ensoniq ate hoje nao foi superado ainda quero um TS12

What happened to Ensoniq anyway? Had an ESQ 1 for years.

Olha meu vídeo aí no meio

EPS VFX TS 12 MAS GOSTO TOP SHOW

faltou o ensoniq fizmo

I want SD1

The Halo is a disappointment & should never be mentioned eith the great Ensoniq heritage. I bought the best of the ZR chip for my Vintage Keys/pro & CC an firmly say that Yamaha's throw away general midi sounds FROM 30 YEARS AGO are better.

Ha ha ha. Wersję rackowe brzmia bardzo płasko, bo są to moduły nie do gry na żywca, tylko do robienia aranży. Zresztą ja nagrywam plyty na starej nagrywarce, bo dzisiejsze nagrywarki nie mają żadnego brzmienia-sa płaskie.

No me gustan sus pianos, son muy latas, no me convence ninguno.
