The original cassette demo I loaded into my Ensoniq ESQ-1's sequencer after a 28 year break. This cassette was purchased with the synthesizer way back in July 1987. It was written by Doug Nestler. https://soundcloud.com/douglasnestler

Note that what you hear is the ESQ-1 actually physically playing the original factory voices “live” (also loaded in from the same cassette tape) in January 2015 via its on board 8 track sequencer – the audio was captured directly into a Saffire 6 USB Audio Interface from the ESQ-1’s stereo audio outputs, recorded  using Reason (7.1). A PCM Wave file was rendered of the finished recording, which was then converted into an MP3 using Goldwave.

In 1987 this was pretty sensational, as it was the first time you could hear so many different voices being played at the same time from one unit.

The demo sequences come backed up on an audio cassette and you load the sounds and sequences from the cassette into the synth. I loaded it up last night having not heard it for nearly thirty years. It's amazing it still works. Enjoy! 

The Classic ESQ-1 patches used: BASS 1.0, PLKBRS, MIAMIW, KICK, KICK+SIMS, REED, PIANO1, MRIMBA, 3TRUMS, BOTTLS, BNDBEL, 2 COOL, WAVBEL and SYNLED.

Recorded into Reason 7.1 and converted to mp3.
