hey your channel is a gem! Can you check whether it's possible to sequence & send midi CC through the 8 additional "Event" tracks (such as mixdown). The manual isn't clear on that. Also do you have experiences with controlling parameters of a patch through external midi CC? Many thanks, any comments are much appreciated (and would help me with the purchase decision). All the best!
Thanks for the nice comments, I am not an expert on this sequencer unfortunately, however I am pretty good with midi. This machine was initially from the early 90s and midi spec was much lower then. However, it does depend on if the synth module you are triggering accepts the cc (it works in my more modern synths and I love to manipulate stuff using cc, but I use a daw) Ie it works great on my access virus and modals, but on my tg500 you can only control 4 cc which are definable on the synth. Also a problem you would have on the Ensoniq is memory as cc manipulation is memory intensive. I have done it on an alesis datadisk but it eats up the disks fast and takes more memory than just notes, velocity aftertouch etc. Hopefully this helps
@@jameshancox1 actually I'd like to use this Ensoniq to sequence midi CC for my VirusB. Is that possible, if so how many CCs ? and can you chose arbitrary ones?
I have a KS 32 Ensonic that I failed to make a back up on memory card and have loss the instrumental sounds. Is it still possible to get a memory card recorded from another unit and it work on mine?
The sounds are sysex dumps and can be used on sq1, sq2 sqr and KS32. The onboards sounds which come with the board are very vanilla and were aimed at churches etc. However the synth engine is awesome.
the effects on board are 24 bit and possibly some of the best I have ever seen on a synth, the synth is fully multi timbral, you can also split and layer
Ensoniq are fantastic. I had several and now I own the TS-12 and SQR plus rack version. I really love them! Thanks for share!
possibly the greatest synth secret as the prices are still reasonable
That, they are. I currently own a KS-32. I have also owned an ASR-10 in the past.
Had a TS-12 for years, just got one of these in perfect condition for a steal, just gotta learn to work it now lol
Synth Bass at 4:56. And 10:20 Hip hop Drum is killer
Totally agree, this was one of the best workstation synths for some time
You had me at garden party 😉
Not the one in number 10 I hope

You can factory reset, I think it brings back the original sounds.
You can also send the sounds via sysex with midi ox or midi quest.
does anyone know whether a ktc-32 rom card is compatible with an sq1 plus? any help greatly appreciated
yes
@@hellofelix8683 thankyou
Do you know if there is an 80s synth wave style of preset? Thanks!
Loads of them
@@jameshancox1 Do you mind telling me which preset?
Too many to mention, I would check out my other videos of the synth.
My need ensonic sq1 plus language settling. Anyone can help me
I would go onto the Ensoniq facebook group and ask they are very good there
So would all these sounds be found in the KS-32 already? Or are they loaded up from another source

you can download them from the Ensoniq facebook group as they have all been uploaded there
they were from sys ex files from the memory cards
@@jameshancox1 Perhaps do you have a link to that particular facebook group/page?
@@jameshancox1 Hello! What's the name of the facebook group?
Is there a way to change the reverb settings on this? Also, is there split functionality?
