I have two different 909 kits, but they don't even attempt to add the sample-altering possibilities available in the original 909. I'm certain that anything the 909 could do to alter its internal sounds via front-panel knobs could be done via mod wheels, buttons, pedals and velocity/touch on the EPS. What I need is info on sample loop points, actual digital dumps from the 909's (EP)ROM's, etc. Additionally, I'll need a real 909 (which I'm trying desperately to get.) I know this can be done right on the EPS, with it's extensive modulation capabilities. I want to do it, unless it's been done already. Anyone here of like mind on this? Let me know.

Now that I've got it open, I need to find the right thing to modify in order to bring the EPS back to its senses. The problem: It will play notes randomly, all on its own; the keyboard will not play the EPS, but loaded sounds can be played from external instruments. This doesn't usually all happen at the same time, but those are the two main symptoms. My partner, who is the owner of the EPS called the local authorized service dudeand he told her that it sounded like the poly pressure assembly. He said something about it being a small board mounted inside. Is this the board to the far right that is raised above the main board? Is there anything under the keyboard that I need to get to, and if so, how do I remove it (the keyboard)? Basically, I think I need to solder in some jumpers; I vaguely remember someone mentioning something like that fairly recently. Any pointers? Thanks!

I gave up. Does someone have any experience with this ? Manual says EPS-16+ should interpret program changes in MULTI mode like request to load a file programnum+1 from the floppy and put it in instrument/track corresponding to channel on which the program change event was received. I tried this with internal sequencer, but the only thing I managed to do was that the floppy LED was lit for a second, and nothing happend. Does it mean the program number had no corresponding file on floppy ? (This is the only thing I'm not shure about). Moreover, this worked only when I created MIDI loop from OUT to IN. So my questions: 1) What exactly should I do to force my EPS-16+ to load new instrument in the middle of a sequence ? 2) What is a LOAD FILE event and it's value, how does it differ from PROGRAM CHANGE event ? 3) Why am I missing SELECT LOADABLE INSTRUMENT item in Command/Seq*Song page (I tried O.S. 1.10 and 1.30 ) ? Please help, if you can.

Actually, if anyone knows of a 68K disassembler for mac or unix, please also let me know. The one I've seend for the Mac always replaced the absolute addresses with text describing those addresses' functions (ex: MVI #$20,$FE0800 might read MVI #$20,kbd_out or something like that), and I didn't see an option to shut that feature off.

Oh, I probably wasn't clear in my last message. I was at that time looking at the Mac's memory. I'm not very familiar with the way ROM code is implemented in the chip. Is there such a standard form that would allow any disassembler to recognize symbol tables (with proper names for each one)? I suppose we could figure quite a few out by taking apart the machine, but to be honest with you, I'm not ready to take apart mine yet - it's been working flawlessly for 3 years now.

Oh well. Amen! I am so sick of the OS crashes and shortcommings that I'm seriously considering NOT purchasing an ASR-10 as a step up from my EPS but going and buying an Akai unit. They are far more reliable. I see why Ensoniq samplers have a bad reputation. Hell, if the company can't take the time to get the OS right in the first place then at least give someone else the opportunity to apply a fix. Ensoniq gets thumbs down on this and it will definately hurt sales of their ASR if this practice of not fully developing an error free OS still exist. Not to mention the fact that they are ignoring their EPS and EPS16+ users by not developing a fix for their persistent Error XXX Reboot? messages. Just my thoughts.

One of the selling points of the EPS for me, was the "open-ended" floppy based OS.

Transoniq Hacker information. Selected Software. Bug List. ********************** EPS users mailing list ************************* The EPS mailing list is for the discussion of the Ensoniq EPS family of digital sampling keyboards. Members post questions, answers, informal reviews, and other information. The mailing list includes nearly 115 men and women from North America, Europe, and Australia. Recently sample swapping (via e-mail and ftp) has started. Ask the group how to join in (PD software avaliable). All you need is a PC/Mac/Atari with a 3.5" drive and some way of getting files off the network into the PC /Mac/Atari. To subscribe to the list send your email details to: eps-request@reed.edu The address for the mailing list is: eps@reed.edu When you send email to that address, the machine there sends a copy to each individual on the list. If you have problems or questions about to using the list, send your query to one of these addresses: eps-request@reed.edu owner-eps@reed.edu Please don't send subscribe/unsunscribe requests to the list (eps@reed.edu). Archives of past discussions are available as compressed text files via anonymous ftp to ftp.reed.edu. The file(s) are in /pub/eps/digests, and were compressed using gnuzip. There are quite a few archives available in the format "eps-digestN.z" where N = (1,2,3...N) "eps-digest1.z" starts the archives and covers the period from November 1990 through to now. Our current ftp site is ftp.reed.edu and the subdirectories in this area are /pub/eps: /digests past mailing list messages /docs [also home to the Survival.kit] /incoming drop point for public domain EPS stuff /samples/PD /samples/aiff /samples/demo /samples/misc /samples/vfx /system-software /utils Drop Scott Fisher a line if you need further info... scott@psy.uwa.oz.au or steveq@sndcrft.DIALix.oz.au ************************* Transoniq Hacker ***************************** Transoniq Hacker (TH) is an independent users support magazine for Ensoniq products. It provides... * Reviews of samples and patches * Software Reviews * New products news * Free Patches (for Ensoniq Synths) * Phone network for free help * Programming tips * How-to articles * Questions and answers (The interface) * Free Classified adds * Interviews * ...and 3rd party company support i.e... Software, Memory Expanders, SCSI Drives etc. In the forum "The Interface" where letters get answered, not only by TH staff but "real" people at Ensoniq, who offer their services for this section. I have subscribed for 4 years now and all I can say is that you SHOULD subscribe, nothing else comes close to TH for supporting us EPS and Ensoniq users in general. TH provide a money back guarantee that if you do not think your subscription has paid for its self in 3 issues (1 a month) then you can claim back your subscription. Alternatively they offer a 3 month "skeptics" subscription offer. There is no-way (practically) that you will get your fingers burnt with them, if you don't like TH you get ALL your money back. First time subscribers get a special deal, 12 monthly issues for $18 US ($25 All others outside the USA) This is $5 off the subscription price. Special "skeptics" deal is 3 issues (3 months) for $5 US ($7 Non US). After the first year you revert to... $23/year (US$32 outside the US). HOW TO SUBSCRIBE? Three methods... 1) Mail your cheque (payable to "Transoniq Hacker") OR your (Mastercard/Visa) number and expiry date with details of address, city, state, zip or post-code to... Transoniq Hacker 1402 SW Upland Drive, Portland, OR 97221. Phone: 503/227-6848 (8 a.m. to 9 p.m. PST). 2) Phone their TOLL-FREE 1-800-548-8925 (US only) and give your Mastercard/Visa number and expiry date with details of address, city, state, zip or post-code to the answering machine (24 Hour service). 3) Alternatively and this is a real PLUS!! you can contact Eric (the publisher and owner of TH) via Compuserve on... 73260.3353@compuserve.com You can give your (Mastercard/Visa) details to him over the net, with details of address, city, state, zip or post-code. Why not drop him a line and have a chat about TH (say Scott sent you, Eric will go ... Eh? What? Who is that? :-) The other good thing about having email contact with TH is that you can send in letters/articles easily and quickly and have a chat to Eric at the same time. *************************** Selected Software ******************************** You are what you eat right? Well the EPS is what it eats too :-) Without good software the EPS\16 Plus ain't much use. Below are a selection of products that I have found make a difference to the EPS's appeal... Diskette Utilities: For EPS & PCs, Geibler enterprises Ensoniq Diskette Manager (EDM) is a good thing. It formats, copies and does just about everything to not only EPS disks but all Ensoniq Formats (Mirage, ESQ-80, VFX-SD, SD-1). This is also good for storing EPS disks on your PC'd hard disk in DOS format. Makes it easy to send EPS disks via the NET too. For more info, write to Geibler Enterprises 8038 Morgan Road Liverpool, N.Y. 13090 U.S.A. For EPS and ATARI, Steve Quartly has Share-Ware avaliable that he wrote. Does everything EDM does with EPS disks and MORE. Contact Steve at.. steveq@sndcrft.DIALix.oz.au This is also available at our current ftp site. Effects (for 16 Plus): For the EPS 16 PLus, How long have you been waiting for Ensoniq to add some more FX algorithms to the unit? Waveboy industries have released a whole bunch (16) of new FX (yes brand new!) for the EPS 16 Plus. They load straight into the EPS FX chip (ESP chip) from diskette. One of the algorithms is a PITCH SHIFTER that lets you plug a mic into the EPS and use it as a LIVE FX unit. These FX are SIMPLY BRILLIANT!! For more info... Waveboy Industries. PO Box 233 Paoli PA, 19301 U.S.A. PH: (215) 251-9562. EPS and Midi programming: For those of you struggling with the EPS sysex and MIDI while trying to write your own code there is a whole bunch of EPS sysex routines written in turbo-C avaliable for anonymous ftp... AT: louie.udel.edu IN: /pub/midi/software/ibm The files are eps.README (presented below) and eps.tar.Z eps.README... >This is my library of EPS system-exclusive routines. It includes >routines that implement most of the SysEx messages defined in the Ensoniq >Performance Sampler Extern Command Specification. Those messages that are >not implemented can be simulated by using the Virtual Button Press message. >These routines were written in Turbo C, for the IBM PC and MPU-401, >which explains some of the identifiers.

People kept telling me "Oh it's your keyboard connections" I had checked them quite a few times and they are in top shape. I get a crash each time a) I start a certain song anywhere past step 01. b) try to overdub a song track in a DIFFERENT song. c) sometimes when I'm sending in Pitch bend either from the keyboard itself or a MIDI controller. d) When ever it feels like crashing. By the way my MIDI set up is fairly simple so it can't be MIDI overflow. I have no MIDIcord going IN to the EPS usually and I only have one MIDI out to a thru box from the EPS. Could it be that as my Akai friends say "Ensoniq Samplers are just too bugy to begin with?" Why make excuses. I love my EPS but I hate the visits from Error 144 and Error 136. Luckily it has yet to happen durring a performance but if Murphy's Law is at all valid it will happen sooner or l:later. Probably at my biggest performance to date Raveland on Aug 7th, in front of 10,000 people. Excellent. If that happens I'll kindly unsubscribe myself from this list and sell or chuck my EPS and its dodgy OS.

Since I use the internal sequencer so much though, I've been shying away from Akai...It's my understanding that they don't have a sequencer. And we all know how badly the Emax sequencer sucks. Since I don't own an ASR-10, I can't attest to it's reliability, but maybe some users would like to give us a brief rundown? I've been looking at the K2000 for it's synthesis abilities alone. But with their sample conversion feature, and Kurzweil's promise of a OS upgrade that gives it a "real" sequencer, it's looking quite attractive. If they don't get some of their manufacturing problems fixed though, I might abandon that idea. I can't stand those PC based "linear" sequencers like Cakewalk.

Since my roomate has a EPS as well, I started swapping parts to see if I could isolate the problem. Lo and behold, it turned out to be the keyboard assembly. At first I thought perhaps I blew one of the chips on the keyboard since I had already had the pin-fix done. Upon closer inspection however, i noticed that one of the bridges had become disconnected. I whipped out my soldering iron and touched up all the contacts and repaired the one that was damaged. Now everything works fine (for now =). Moral of the story...before you pay a shitload of money to get your EPS fixed, give it a look yourself (only if it's not under warentee ;).

Actually, some kind of HOW TO section involving instruction on how and what can be fixed by ones self would be quite appreciated over here. I'm no electrical engineering major, but I've crudely worked with soldering (sp?) and always wanted to know what things I can potentially fix on my EPS 16+, should and when it breaks down. I've had mine for about a year (bought it used!), and aside from one or two (or three) random OS errors, I've never had a problem with it... THATS WHAT WORRIES ME. I'm very well aware of EPS's notorious reputation for breakdowns (especially since this most recent of discussion subjects), and I'm proverbially clenching my teeth for the day when I come home from work and find that my 16+ craps out on me. +**********************************************************************+ = P.

What do you think? Anyone want to contribute first? I've often thought that the FAQ ought to contain more technical information, such as: o What the output expander is, and why you can't just connect a bunch of 1/4" jacks to the OEX port. o Which hard drives will work with the EPS. o Should the heat sink burn your fingers, and how to install a fan. o How you can or can't change tempo with the sequencer. With a new semester coming up soon, these questions will surely be asked even more frequently than they already are. Every new subscriber should get a copy of the FAQ automatically. I was planning to go through all of the archives and extract the frequently asked technical questions and answers, but couldn't figure out how to uncompress them on a Unix system. If one of you PC weenies could do this, that would be a good way to compile a comprehensive technical FAQ. -- The above opinions are mine alone and cannot be _____ held by anyone else without prior written consent. /o\ \________________________________________________________________ 8 8 ===o=xoo=x=o=xo=ox=== Michael Savastio (m.savastio@telesci.uucp) \_/___/ *******^*******^ Does this bug you?

I and using the stereo outs (Have the expander, but currently not using). It appears to be of the 60Hz variety and I tried switching the channel inputs of my mixer with my 16+ rack mount to see if it was the channels of the mixer. I also switched patch cords around, but the hum follows the EPS. Having just received a higher quality mixer seems to really bring the hum to light, now that I can do more precise eq stuff. Could anyone shed some light as to whether it be a ground I could perhaps add internally, or a component change? I seem to remember a similar problem long ago on the ESQ, where the solution was to cut the ground prong on the power cord? Sorry if this has been addressed before and I didn't catch the answer!

Reading samples into the PC from the EPS (or in my case the ASR-10) works fine. Samples can be edited and stored ion the PC in Samplevision's own .SMP format. I'm not sure exactly what this format consists of, but I assume it is not generic. All samples are uploaded/downloaded via MIDI. Sample vision does not seem to be able to write disks in other than .SMP format. When passing samples from one sampler to another the first sampler is read via MIDI, the sample is stored on disk, and then it may be uploaded to another (or the same) sampler. Editing things like loop points is kind of nice since the software moves the loop points on the sampler every time you edit them on the PC. That way you can hear the results of loop editing immediately. (other edits which change the samples must be uploaded, or played on a soundblaster card, before you can hear them). >I would also like to convert EPS samples to .wav files edit in Wave 2.0 convert >back to EPS samples to play on the EPS. I don;t think sample vision alone will do this.

I'm about to >start doing this, but I'd hate to re-invent the wheel. > I guess after all, it matters more to you what the drums sound like than how the notes are laid out. Otherwise there are three drumsets laid out as General Midi in the file ftp.reed.edu:pub/eps/incoming/edrums.gkh.Z. Those are all electronic drums. I think that if you already have sets with the sounds you want on the EPS, it should not take you long to arrange the sounds as General Midi. I sometimes have to create a few extra copies (parameters only ) of the Toms since their keyboard range are intermixed with that of the hats. Using a sample editor can be beneficial to force certain sample number on a certain sample ( You can assign one single tom sample to the toms' range: F2-D3 or divide the range between two or three samples or whatever, you then need your hi-hats' sample numbers to have a higher value than those of your toms, otherwise the toms will cover the hats..but there are many ways to do it; all works) I may also have to create a pitch table or edit the existing one in order to get the toms to something I believe is OK. But I have most often started from scratch though. I believe I have done it different every time. And always has some noise come out. Did my head explode or implode? Will my brain now eat my earplug?

I and using the stereo outs (Have the expander, but currently not using). It appears to be of the 60Hz variety and I tried switching the channel inputs of my mixer with my 16+ rack mount to see if it was the channels of the mixer. I also switched patch cords around, but the hum follows the EPS. Having just received a higher quality mixer seems to really bring the hum to light, now that I can do more precise eq stuff. Could anyone shed some light as to whether it be a ground I could perhaps add internally, or a component change? I seem to remember a similar problem long ago on the ESQ, where the solution was to cut the ground prong on the power cord? Sorry if this has been addressed before and I didn't catch the answer!

Not a stupid question at all. I don't know if this is in a FAQ or not. Samplevision is a visual sample editor distributed by Turtle Beach Systems. It allows you to download a sample from an EPS into an IBM PC clone. Once the sample is loaded onto the PC you can use a variety of tools to edit the waveform. Finding good loop points is particularly easy since you can see exactly what the splice looks like. It is not a shareware program, but it is currently selling for $79 from Soundware. Although I am sucessfully using it with an ASR-10, be forwarned that the folks at Turtle Beach tell me it doesn't work on the ASR-10. Go figure.......

It is worth that, i guess since it does all sort of incredible things, but if you are an eps only user not a multi sampler user, a lot of the features are paid for and unused. 2) Try to find a copy these days. Passport designs has discontinued it. I've been told because they only had one person really keeping it up and doing updates and such and he is gone. So it would be too much expense to keep supporting it. Damn shame, since there is nothing like Alchmey for the Mac. Maybe with the Mac AVs out there a better market for sample editing will open up. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Arne F.

I've been successfully using it on the ASR-10, although Turtle Beach tells me that I'm not........... Don't forget to turn MIDI Sysex on. I'm using v1.25 of the OS and version 1 ROMs. Perhaps the new ROMs/OS are a step backward??

That's what they told me too. However, when I talked to Turtle Beach I asked them about a Windows version. They told me that one was in the works. My impression is not as bleak as the guy from soundware, I suspect it will be supported, but for now it seems on hold. My guess is that since they were recently bought out the new owners are probably trying to raise some quick operating capital by selling off an already developed product fast.

He found that the PC was dropping incoming MIDI bytes if they arrived too quickly, such as when recording multitimberal sequences or dumping wavesamples. I encountered the same problem, not only with the PAS-16, but also the Sound Blaster and the Sound Blaster Pro. It happened regardless of the application: Voyetra Sequencer Plus Gold, WinJammer, CakeWalk for Windows, and MidiSoft all dropped bytes. This made my wavesample dumps useless. At first I thought it was because my CPU lacked enough horsepower, being only a lowly 33Mhz 386. So I reluctantly put down the bucks to upgrade to a 66Mhz 486DX2. I reassembled the PC and tried dumping a wavesample, and damn if it didn't still drop those bytes again! I was ready to commit unspeakable acts of violence to my PC, when the copy of TH arrived in the mail. "Get a MQX-32" it says. Heck, I've already blown a grand, what not go all the way? A week later I get the MQX-32, pop it in, and it works like a dream, even on the 386. Conclusion: don't go cheap on your MIDI card. The real problem is that the manufacturers of `multimedia' cards don't take MIDI seriously. Instead they concentrate all their efforts on crea
