Re: how does the s1000 compare to the ensoniq EPS 16+

2011-08-07 by Vicious Lee

I have a EPS 16+ and an S1000 nad they both are very clean sounding. Advantage to the EPS+ for it's built in effects. It came with double memory and 6 outs, but no external SCSI port. Hats off to Akai  for it's consistency  from the beginning S900/950.
