Ensoniq TS-10: Ensoniq's True Masterpiece Vintage Synthesizer Live Demo

Everyone knows about the Fizmo 🤮 While its unicorn-painted Hail Mary story is fascinating, it's an unfinished mess of a synthesizer. With a janky OS, busted power supplies, and inaccessible parameters (you heard that right, parameters you literally could not access from the synth) and no polyphonic aftertouch, you'd think people would write this synth off and instead look for their last polished synthesizer, the TS-10. Sadly, for whatever reason, no one seems to give the TS series any mention. I think it's because the TS series was a refinement of the SD and VFX synths, instead of an "innovation" like the Fizmo. The TS series was called by Reverb the "apex" of the lineage of synthesizers starting with the ESQ-1 and SQ-80, which lost their analog filters with the VFX but retained their polyphonic aftertouch through the TS synths, the last Ensoniq synths with it. There were some real innovations too; the TS series can read ASR wavesamples directly, and has Hyperwaves, their version of Wavesequencing from the Korg Wavestation. They also released the TS-12, which is identical except it has a piano-action 76 key fatar keybed but loses the poly aftertouch.

Right now you can buy these synths for jaw-droppingly low prices, I saw one on Reverb today for $545: https://reverb.com/item/82330517-enso...
