History of Ensoniq Synthesizer

2001-11-03 by koichifukuda@hotmail.com

Hi.  Does TS-10 basically has same synth structure as VFX, 
right?  Maybe more waveform, more effects.....
and also TS-10 is the last VFX family synth, right?   Am I correct? 
another words.......

ESQ-1  ---->  SQ-80    =  ESQ Family

VFX ---> VFX-SD ---> SD-1 ---> TS-10    = VFX family

MR-61 --->  ZR-76  =  MR family  /  The end of Ensoniq Synth  :-(

I know Ensoniq made more products.....But I just put their main 
synth here.......

What the difference between TS-10 and MR-61.......
I know TS-10 is the last Ensoniq Synth has Poly aftertouch, patch 
select botton etc.....
Is MR-61 still powerful synth or more like Rompler workstation?
Sorry for so many questions.....but I love Ensoniq 
SYNTHESIZER.  They have such a distinct sound.  I'm so sad 
they are bought by creative labs or E-mu or whatever and now 
they don't make Synth anymore......   :-(

I wish they reproduce synth like ESQ or SQ-80 with powerful 
effects and few knobs or ribbon or any real time controller.....
I think it would be a hit......I love ESQ/SQ-80's Digital Analog 
Hybrid Sound....   :-)   

Anyway.....any info or comments would be greatly appreciated....

Thank you all Ensoniq Fans out there......

Koichi   :-)
