It integrates advanced 16-bit linear sampling with an array of sophisticated features, making it a go-to choice for professional and aspiring musicians alike.
The Ensoniq EPS-16+ offers true 16-bit linear oversampling with sampling rates up to 44.6 kHz, ensuring pristine sound quality. With onboard CD-quality output circuitry, it delivers a polished playback performance that’s ideal for any music production environment. The Ensoniq EPS-16+ includes comprehensive editing tools such as autolooping, gain normalization, volume smoothing, and multiple crossfading options, giving users precise control over their sampled sounds.
Not only is the Ensoniq EPS-16+ a robust sampler, it also functions as a full-featured synthesizer. With 20-voice polyphony, multiple dynamic digital filters, and envelopes, the Ensoniq EPS-16+ allows for extensive sound design possibilities. Its comprehensive modulation matrix provides even more creative options, enabling musicians to transform and reshape their samples into completely new sounds.
What truly sets the Ensoniq EPS-16+ apart is its integrated 24-bit dynamic effects processor, a groundbreaking feature for samplers at the time. This onboard effects engine offers a wide variety of high-quality effects, including reverb, chorus, flanging, phasing, distortion, and delay. The unique ability to resample sounds with effects applied allows users to create complex audio textures and further refine their samples, making it a powerful tool for creating dynamic and expressive sounds.
The Ensoniq EPS-16+ is not just a sampling instrument—it’s a complete 16-track sequencing workstation. It offers comprehensive sequencing and mixdown capabilities, making it easy to record, edit, and arrange entire compositions directly from the unit. Ensoniq’s intuitive sequencer lets you audition changes before committing to them, ensuring that you have full control over your creative process.
With its combination of high-fidelity sampling, advanced synthesis capabilities, dynamic effects processing, and powerful sequencing, the Ensoniq EPS-16+ is an all-in-one solution for musicians looking to push the boundaries of their creativity. Whether used as a standalone production tool or as part of a larger studio setup, the Ensoniq EPS-16+ is designed to inspire and elevate your music.
