[8] However, it was only able to create exact harmonic partials, sounding sterile and inexpressive. [8] [11]
Ensoniq ESQ-1 is a 61-key, velocity sensitive, eight-note polyphonic and multitimbral synthesizer released by Ensoniq in 1985. It was marketed as a "digital wave synthesizer" but was an early Music Workstation.
