i hope ensoniq gear does cause despite the stupid weight, they made some amazing synths. my esq1 shits on a lot of gear and i paid 350$. This digital hybrid stuff is really amazing, can do a lot of super deep stuff my analogs cant. Plus solid electric keys, organs and the like.. Its so deep, interface isnt that bad and looks dope.

I had an SQ80 (basically ESQ1 w/ floppy) from 2002 until 2010. Thing was huge and buggy and sounded all fizzy and fucked up but damn, what a nice synth and sequencer. You wouldn't guess by looking at it but once you got a feel for the menu it was a super efficient interface, even with that one little data slider. I still miss it sometimes, I've used so much stuff that on paper should be more powerful or do the same thing but it's such a crazy immediate machine.

Oh I played around with the SQ8L vst, cool synth.
