EPS (c) 1988 Ensoniq The Ensoniq EPS (Ensoniq Performance Sampler) was a groundbreaking affordable digital sampling keyboard designed for musicians who wanted professional sampling capabilities without the high cost of systems like the Emulator or Akai S-series. Developed by Ensoniq, it featured 13-bit sampling resolution with companding, 8-voice polyphony, built-in digital effects, and a highly praised user interface centered around performance-oriented workflow. The EPS was designed as both a sampling workstation and a live performance instrument, combining ease of use with surprisingly deep sound design capabilities. - TRIVIA - The EPS was one of the first samplers to focus heavily on musical workflow and usability, rather than purely technical specification. It used a 13-bit sampling format with companding, giving it a distinctive warm and slightly gritty character that became highly appreciated in late-1980s music production. Its operating system allowed real-time performance control over samples, making it popular for live keyboard players and touring musicians. The EPS supported disk-based sample storage via 3.5" floppy disks, which was standard for samplers of the era. It was widely used in pop, R&B, and early electronic music production in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The instrument was praised for its “musician-friendly” interface, which was considered easier to navigate than competing samplers from Akai and E-mu. The EPS helped establish Ensoniq as a major competitor in the sampler market alongside Akai, E-mu Systems, and Korg. Its architecture directly influenced later Ensoniq products such as the EPS 16+ and ASR series. - SOURCES - Machine's Bios.
