low memory, but who cares unless you are trying to do a remix the 16+ although hard to find is the best sounding sampler i've run across for it's price range score: 5+

i've had an eps for years and love it, just a mention that error 144 is due to a ribbon cable working loose, the best thing to do is to hard wire it , i got mine done 3 years ago and it hasn't done it since ;-)
its worth the agro

I,m not sure if it's the vibrations caused by loud amps or noisy power going
to the unit ( this could probably be fixed with a power conditioner..
..more money) but Error 144 is bloody annoying. Otherwise yes it's a good
keyboard. There's some SCSI info on ensoniq.com/mid/scsi.htm#notes but you
need a SCSI kit in the first place fortunately my 2nd hand unit came with
one I'm currently trying to get a Quantum Prodrive 85meg to work with
it but it wont acknowledge each other for very long at all. Not enough to
format the drive anyway . fk fk fk fk!

First off, I'm coming from a techno/electronic music making background. These should be going for under $500 used now(late 1997) - though the are
worth much more. This is a great machine if you are on a small budget. The
EPS 16+ is better(adds built-in effects) but the "classic" EPS is fine too.
You should have no problem making complete songs with this machine(esp. if
you have the 16+). The sequencer is very usable. Try to get one with the
memory upgrade.

Great keyboard, Ive owned a bunch O' 'em! -BUT- beware that the 8 output expander on the EPS is very faulty. You will lose channel after channel over a period of time until the box is useless. Repairing it through Ensoniq will fix the problem - for a while. This is most certainly the reason the later Ensoniq machine featured less outputs - cause they couldn't get it right! It's a bloody shame, such a GREAT keyboard!
