Anyone remember Ensoniq?


Sure, I've an Ensoniq SD-1 Keyboard from 1990. It has 3.5 MB of sample rom. Ensonic was founded by Robert Yannes, who also co-invented the famous SID chip at Commodore.

Here the built in demo songs of my SD-1 at action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtV5J6ZLKuU

I also have an Soundblaster AWE64 (not entirely sure) with an Ensoniq chip on it. But the noise level of every Sound Blaster card is that bad, that you cannot really use it for professional recordings.


Yup!

AudioPCI rebranded devices later sold as SoundBlaster cheaper edition.
