This thing is the bomb It can make sounds like nothing ever heard on other units ! The cool combo of 12 bit waveforms and curtis filters is cool to put it mildly. The only thing that can beat this in the 'evil' sounding synth department would be it's big bad cousin the SQ-80

Darn, I miss my Esq1.. I sold it for $175.00.. Ensoniq Esq1 is good for basses, pads, fx, and it's very very fat like my girlfriend. Dont sell your's you will regret it like me.. This synth can be your center piece.

I've been using the esq-1 for about a year now. It has a great deal of modulation capabilities. Recent example: Each sound you make can use up to three dco's. Each sound can be layered with one other sound. Recently I made a patch where each oscillator hits one note--press one key, get six notes in descending order. Soundwise, the esq-1 is dark but not aggressive. Imo, the synth is best used for making industrial music. The raw waves are very bland and thin, but the modulation capabilities make up for this.
