Ensoniq SD1

by

“This iconic keyboard from the early 90’s is still sounding great today. It is a versatile workstation incorporating a wavetable synthesiser with 180 sounds and an onboard sequencer. It has 21 voices of polyphony, aftertouch, and a 3.5″ disk storage drive, and is great for use as a MIDI keyboard controller. It is highly programmable, and all settings can be saved to internal memory and disk. The internal battery has recently been changed. As well as provision for a foot switch, it also has a pedal CV socket, a headphone output, Auxiliary Left and Right outputs as well as Main Left and Right. It is in good condition, although it has one small nick in the front facia, and some of the legendry is fading. It comes in its original box with the Musician’s Manual. The stand and pedals are not included.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

Ensoniq Fizmo

“This FIZMO is in near mint conditions considering its age showing minimal signs of wear hardly noticeable like for example: light surface scratches or scuffs but nothing major.

I am including a Radio Shack 9V Power Supply which is the one that works perfect with this specific Synth.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

Ensoniq ESQ1

by

“Ensoniq ESQ1 Vintage Synth Digital Keyboard – it has been in storage for at least the last 10 years so it’s time has come to go.

Everything still seems to work and it sound good (I’m a guitarist so that is not an expert opinion!).

There is a warning that the battery needs replacing – I can see these on batterys Ebay for around £15 so I think that would need to be changed if you wanted keep the internal sounds.
The casing has some scratches, particularly to the rear. I’ve shown the worst in the pics. ”

It is a solid keyboard so I’m putting this for collection only as it would cost a lot to ship safely.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

Ensoniq VFX

by

“Ensoniq VFX in good working order. Everything tested and working fine. Re-initialized to factory condition. Bright display, all jacks and buttons function properly. Keyboard link mod has been done to stop the known “keyboard calibration” error. Internal battery has been replaced with a battery holder to make battery replacement easy. Takes readily available CR2032. I just put a new battery in so should last for many years. Last one lasted about 10 years. B5 key has been replaced so its whiter than the rest. Some cosmetic blemishes as shown in the pictures. Mostly residue from stickers that I couldn’t get off with a quick Goo Gone wipe. A couple scratches. Look at pics to see full details. Included are the Ensoniq FSW-1 sustain pedal, a case, the power cable, and a CD-Rom I put together that includes the manual in PDF, a text document with Sysex transfer instructions, and a ton of Sysex banks and single patches that were collected over the years from various sources. Some of the patches are for the VFX SD so they don’t sound right but the overwhelming majority sound as they were intended. No cartridge included. Great feeling keyboard with polyphonic aftertouch.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

Ensoniq ESQ1

“Vintage Ensoniq ESQ-1 Digital Wave Synthesizer, Sequencer. This synth is in very good shape. Lots of great sounds on board. Includes one External Program cartridge. We did some basic testing and all appears to be working. We do not know if the battery is original or was replaced at any point in the past, but at this point it’s not an issue. Includes AC cable. As with any vintage electronic instrument, sold as-is. ”

” Ensoniq SQ 80 for parts or repair – free local pick up

*** If you have any questions please ask, I’ll do my best to describe it

Does not power on, the screen blinks briefly, but it does not stay on nor boot

Clean inside, no signs of damage that I can see

Outside of case, keys, etc are all in great cosmetic shape, the two left side top case fasteners have slight damage inside, but case stays closed fine

“you are bidding on the synthesizer pictured
standard power cable is NOT included
does not include any floppys or cartridges
comes complete as seen with no damaged or chipped keys
powers on and the display lights up well
dispplay changes when you push the buttons so I believe that most of the functions appear to
work but there is not sound when I play the keys – not sure issue
if I crank up the amp I can lightly hear the keys, like the keyboard is on mute or disabled – unsure
there is a low battery warning when the synth is powered on
show normal age and use as seen” Click here to visit listing on eBay

Ensoniq ESQ1

” Working Ensoniq ESQ-1 digital wave/analog polyphonic synthesizer.
-Nice cosmetics for a nearly-40 year-old keyboard (see the pics). The keys themselves have yellowed, as happens on some plastics as they age. I’ve heard that the keys can be retrobright’ed to restore them to white (I’ll leave that to the buyer).
-All switches & sliders on front panel fully working
-Pitch & mod wheels working as expected.
-New battery
-Basic midi in & out functionality verified
-Sequencer & sustain foot switch functionality verified (foot switch is not included)

I played it, going through the patches and all sounds appropriate. All the keys trigger nicely with appropriate velocity.
I recorded a short sequence and it recorded & played back as expected.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

Ensoniq SQ1 Plus

by

“All keys, buttons, sliders, pitch bend, mod wheel, display, etc working perfectly.

Battery changed 3 April 2021. The 2032 battery has a holder so no soldering required, just an easy swap.

No original manual, but I include a printed PDF version in a binder.

There is minor cosmetic damage, the worst of which is a gouge on the front panel and some other minor scratches here and there, including one of the keys (so minor it was not possible to make it visible in the photos) and a very tiny crack on the display (see pics), but overall very good condition for the age.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

Ensoniq SQ1

“You are viewing an Ensoniq SQ-1 synthesizer in mostly working order!

This is an awesome keyboard which really I want to keep and play with, but alas, I can’t keep everything!

I’ve tested this with the headphone jack and everything sounds brilliant. I’ll try and get round to trying the other outputs in the next few days, but if you need to check the midi you’ll need to bring your own equipment as I’m only a novice.

Screen display has a decent brightness to it and overall cosmetic condition is good minus the two snapped keys.

Cons – bottom key is dead and there are two buttons which have been pushed in which don’t function.

Otherwise, you have yourself a great working synthesizer on your hands at a bargain price. I can recommend a fantastic affordable repair guy if you want the bottom key and stuck buttons looked at.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

The rack ears are slightly bent, but still totally functional. A complete print out of the manual will be included. CD rom will be included as well. The unit sounds amazing.

“Ensoniq SQ80 Cross Wave Synthesizer Keyboard. Original owner.

Keyboard works great – I’ve been using as a controller only. Includes one cartridge with two banks of sounds and FS1 foot switch.

I had the battery replaced two years ago. About 3 months ago started to show a warning message that the battery is low but I’ve left it on for hours and it has never failed. If needed, you can have the battery replaed for $60 or so but there doesn’t seem to be a need.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
