Ensoniq TS10 in extremely good condition. The TS-10 has a 61-note synth action keyboard with velocity and polyphonic aftertouch – a very rare and sought after feature. The TS10 features a wide range of synthesis including wavetable and transwave alongside sampling. It excels at evolving complex ambient sounds alongside the usual synth staples. No SCSI but floppy drive works well and has been tested by formatting a disk. I’ll include a few blank, compatible floppies. Running OS 3.05 with stock sequencer memory (31000 events) and stock 2mb sampler memory.
It’s really heavy so the postage – which will include insurance – is quite high. I’m happy for the item to be collected from Mossley Hill, Liverpool or I might be able to deliver along the M6/M5 between Liverpool and Salisbury.
Blurb from Vintage Synth:
The TS series workstations introduced in 1993 were the culmination of the line that started with the ESQ-1 and progressed through the SQ-80, VFX, VFX-SD, SD-1, and SD-1/32. The resulting TS contained the most advanced feature set, most powerful sequencer and sound engine, and provided high quality sound and powerful effects processing. The synthesizer section has 32 voices of polyphony (12 MIDI tracks of multitimbrality). It uses a ROM bank with 6 MB of samples from various acoustic instruments, synth waves, percussion and sound effects. A single patch is called a “Sound” and can be made from combining up to six waves. Each “Sound” can have up to four variations which are selected via two “Patch Selector Buttons” above the Pitch-bend and Modulation wheels. A performance patch, called a “Preset” can be made from up to three “Sounds” with independent settings for each “Sound”. Arranged by banks are 120 user “Sounds” and 120 user “Preset” performance patches plus 180 preset “Sounds” and 180 preset “Preset” performance patches. There is also one bank for 10 sampled sounds which can be doubled if the RAM is expanded. The General MIDI sound set is also available in the TS.The TS-10 makes use of the following four types of synthesis technologies:Wavetable synthesis with the following parameters for each tone: Three envelopes, two multistage filters (unfortunately without resonance), an LFO with settings for tone pitch, output, panning, delay, multisample shift + modulation matrix, and more.Transwave: Similar to Wavetable synthesis, this technology allows real time changes to the tonal timbrality. The Transwave consists of 128 single cycle waves, each of which is part of the original (highly processed) sample. The loop start and end points can be modulated in real time by various sources like the LFO, envelope generators, modulation wheel, etc. The TS series synthesizers ROM includes eight types of Transwaves (far fewer than the SD-1 had, unfortunately) and new ones can be created as a sample and imported into RAM.Hyperwave technology is a kind of wave sequencing similar to that used by the Korg Wavestation. The wave list can contain up to 16 steps and allows you to create impressive textures or rhythmic patterns.Sampling: The TS series instruments can load samples from compatible Ensoniq samplers (EPS, EPS 16+ and ASR-10/88) into its RAM via 3.5″ floppy disks or the optional SP-4 SCSI interface. Many sampled sounds will not fit into the standard 2 MB memory and therefore the memory expansion option up to 8 MB is recommended. Sample editing is very similar to the EPS/ASR systems. The only problem is that the TS can not save the sample data directly on EPS/ASR disks. You must use another disk (formatted using the unique TS format) to save your sample data, and to load an edited sound you must use both these disks because the TS saves only the edit settings without the actual samples. The RAM is volatile and the sampled sounds efface each time you turn the instrument off.
