The Ensoniq's were ground breaking for their day but they were quite  
famous for poor build quality and general unreliability. I still own  
my ASR 10 rack which hardly ever gets turned on now - but it's  
reliability is helped because it's in a rack in a studio. If was  
still moving around gigging with it I'm sure it would have broken a  
lot more.

My 0.02 cents worth: Stay away. Their sounds were not great by  
today's standards. There was an Alesis from the same era QS6 I think  
- had a decent piano and much stronger and more reliable. OR go the  
software instrument/ modern controller - M-Audio has already been  
mentioned. Look also at CME for affordable controllers.

Kind regards
