Amazing. I owned an asr-10 20 years ago. I loved it. Did everything with it and took it every where. It has a special place in my heart. I am happy to see and hear that it is still being appreciated and loved. Thanks for the great demo.
Man this video made me pull the trigger on an ASR 10. I managed to get the rack version in decent condition and for a decent price too. Gonna cop the manual asap.
The ASR 10 is still one of the most best true to sound samplers ever. I have had mine for years and have the entire sound library. It's still my go to when I want to get warm analog sounds. The price value on this keyboard up. People really know it's reputation. Thanks for sharing.
Your tutorials help me realize this machine is under appreciated. I used to want an MPC 3000 but this can do what I want plus more. A truly magical piece of equipment
THE ASR-10 sounds a lot better, the MPC 3000 is overhyped because of Dilla, the only thing good about the 3000 is the sequencer. An 2000XL midi controlling an S950 and S1000 will sound infinitely better than an MPC 3000. Sorry to be a myth buster but as a sampler the MPC 3000 is mediocre at best.
My ASR10 is going with me when i leave..I think what it gives that is different is something close to harmonics. I not only sample with it,I use it while I am spinning vinyl and doing mix projects, triggering samples I made, using some disk sounds, and placing effects on what's running though it. It shines with instruments, with voices, and brings it all home,and if you only rip records with it, you are never tapping into it's vast potential. I cannot imagine spinning in a club without the Ensoniq ASR10 rack model..I have 5 samplers and I will always come back home to ASR...
I bought an ASR, new. It has always just had “that sound”. One of those magic machines. Makes you wonder how much was luck, in the design process. & how much was intent. They couldn’t have known how regarded it would be, so many years/decades later.
What's up man!!!!!!!! Thanks for watching!!!!!!! Yep!!! I've always like the way their samplers sounded. You can hear hints of the ASR-10's DNA in the Mirage. It almost sounds like it was just their personal taste more than anything.
@daydreamsound it’s too bad Ensoniq had to end. The dream of having an all in one (mirage->ASR workstation) with modern memory w/ classic filter & bit rate switching would be a game changer. I have dreams of selecting 13bit w/ analog filter & editing my favorite effects selections while sequencing & sampling all in one unit. Uploading my tracks to PC to finish tracking. What would I do with my old gear? Art show, of course
I've just got mine back from repair. Been out of action with a failed power supply. The main reason I wanted it back was the sound of pitched down samples
The sampler that had a trademark sonic fingerprint to me was both the Emax-1 and the Emulator III. Those filters.... Ensoniq equipment it going to be the next big hard-to-acquire thing. EPS, ESQ, ASR, etc. Good luck Finding an ASR-10 rack today!
So when pitching it down, the resonating of the notes did sound quite interesting. But when you pitched UP, wow holy cow that was a trip, that sounded really good!
The Ensoniq EFX engine is unique.. I've never come across another effects unit that can do 2+ *minutes* of reverb. All of the other effects algorithms are top-notch but the Hall reverbs in this respect are truly unique. For ambient sounds there is no replacement.. other than an Ensoniq DP-2 or DP-4 of course, which are the same EFX units in a dedicated rack. Someone making modern gear emulations *really* needs to look at re-implementing these algorithms as the original gear is getting older and harder to find. And Dr. Dattorro, the mind behind these algorithms, may not be around forever!
These vintage samplers are so popular you’d think new devices that mimic their sound and function (with improvements due to innovative tech) would be marketable. At least a software emulator ought to be.
I have said for years the sound engine in the asr10 was amazing I don't care what you sample in it it came out sounding better you have to literally hear it in person I never had one my friend did I have the mpc key61 thats the closest thing to having one
Yo, how did you do that thing 8:15 where after you looped it the sound sounded like it was moving the loop points in reverse? That was ultra dope and I wish there were software that I knew of that could do that.
Are people sampling with the ASR 10 and then dumping it onto Abelton or some software to get that magic sound but with up to date editing? Do you lose that magic sound once its on your computer?
It's they sweetest ever made, it'll never be topped, manufacturers don't make items of this quality anymore, if it ever happened it'll easily cost over $10,000 if it was actually as good, anything else would be a cheap cash in.
The effects around 8:30 to 9 minute mark make me want one as an external effects unit. That's a lot of processing strain taken off a CPU right there if it can do that to incoming audio.
Liked the effect that sounded like loop points (length?) change as well as loop type (forward / reverse) dynamically, in very creative way. How it was done? I guess it should be possible to do on EPS16+ as well?
The Daydream Sound , thanks a lot for the reply. Now I understand. I haven’t played with Transwaves much yet, but they were one of the reasons to get EPS16+ (thanks to your channel!). BTW: Yamaha A-series samplers also can modulate sample start point, but it is static after note is played (note on). So you have to re-trigger often to achieve roughly similar effect. But there are neat options for pitch bend action, such as “slow”, “slow & reverse”. Anyway, Ensoniqs are much better for real-time loop manipulation.
You're welcome man!!! I'm just using loop position modulation in this video but you could use just about anything on the Ensoniq samplers to move the position of the sample start/end around. I really gotta check out the Yamaha A-series samplers at some point. I've heard so much about them!
What's up Nathan!! Thanks for reaching out!!! Converters have advanced so much in quality since then. There isn't anything modern that sounds like the ASR-10 that I know of. A great sounding modern sampler in its own right is the rossum electro-music Assimil8tor.
The Daydream Sound. Thanks. I’m interested in modern functionality, with genuine low-fi hardware, not the digital simulation of low-fi. Thanks for the video. Love the 90s vibes .
You're welcome man! In the world of samplers the ASR-10 wouldn't categorized as low fidelity. If I were you I'd look into the Assimi8tor. It's not a simulation of anything. It just has an outstandingly musical sounding converters and I think it has the range to cover what you're look for.
In that case it would be also good to look into using a software sampler along with a nice stereo Preamp. That's essentially what the ASR-10 sounds like.
I´m having an issue with my asr.. some time ago the power supply went broke. I let somebody fix it. the strange thing is that the sound of the machine is weird now. it almost sound like a very subtle, wack tremolo effect.. not easy to describe it properly! do you have an idea what the problem could be?
At G you can contact The Ensoniq.,He worked at the Ensoniq Company when they were in business. I sent my Ensoniq Eps 16 Plus to him last year for a transformer install because the one I purchased didn’t have a USA 🇺🇸 transformer and plug 🔌 it was in France 🇫🇷 initially.
Heres a reason... What goes in, comes out.... A analog sound sampled into the ASR , is a facsimile..... Thats hard to do... But also.. you can red line the AD (like they do in mastering...)... Simply... NO other company has the headroom in its AD... Nor in its DA in a sampler since.....(well, lets just say, 32bit isnt really the answer... follow?) . 12db boost for drums anyone? What ever you decide to do after that, its your choice.... I love my ASR.
The Daydream Sound // LOL I could say the exactly same about You and your videos, podcast and bandcamp. I get you are hungry for money, but don't be so desperate, having a real job could do wonders, You should try one day
You do realize your still here right? And no you actually can't say the same about me or this channel. Your actions have already gone against that. Now please, for sake of all things peaceful; Get off my content.
Nobody LIKES ads, but literally this man can put 200 of them in a video and I wouldn't hesitate, because that video would still be fire. This man's contributions to the music production and synthesizer communities are monumental. He is THE knowledge source and expertise on Ensoniq sampling synthesizers. Guarantee that at least one of the people making the music you listen to has either conversed, learned and or purchased something from Daydream. This IS his job... so unless you looping 128 samples on some transwaves: beat it, and let the man do the job.
The Daydream Sound You mention “being here” as if we where on a same room together ; *gross... yet I get notifications from your messages therefore I’m answering. I never seen a person being so afraid and desperate of a girl for being an Ad whore. By all means be yourself but don’t expect to have followers and likes ( as you beg every chance you have) for being like this. good luck and stop harassing
8:30 this sounds like a fully fleshed out ambient track and it is just one sample you flipped on the ASR. Sick work man!
Amazing. I owned an asr-10 20 years ago. I loved it. Did everything with it and took it every where. It has a special place in my heart. I am happy to see and hear that it is still being appreciated and loved.

What's up!! It's an inexhaustible instrument. One of the best tools you can have in your studio if you're into sampling.
Your tutorials help me realize this machine is under appreciated. I used to want an MPC 3000 but this can do what I want plus more. A truly magical piece of equipment
Yep! It's an overall great tool for the sample-based artist.
THE ASR-10 sounds a lot better, the MPC 3000 is overhyped because of Dilla, the only thing good about the 3000 is the sequencer. An 2000XL midi controlling an S950 and S1000 will sound infinitely better than an MPC 3000. Sorry to be a myth buster but as a sampler the MPC 3000 is mediocre at best.
This really is Ensoniq ASR-10 madness!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎹🎹🎹🎹 Thank you for this.
I'm so late to the party with this sampler, you have made me wanna grab one, you made it sound amazing!
My ASR10 is going with me when i leave..I think what it gives that is different is something close to harmonics. I not only sample with it,I use it while I am spinning vinyl and doing mix projects, triggering samples I made, using some disk sounds, and placing effects on what's running though it.

I cannot imagine spinning in a club without the Ensoniq ASR10 rack model..I have 5 samplers and I will always come back home to ASR...
I don't know of anything that's doing this today what a brilliant instrument want one ❤

These Are Facts 100%
sounds like an amazing device
Thanks for watching!!!! It's pretty useful for sure!!!!

Really enjoyed those sounds! I am also a big fan of the Ensoniq ASR-X 👌🏻 Oh cool, you even have a few videos about it! 🙂
Much appreciated!!!! Yep!! There's an entire playlist of ASR-X stuff! th-cam.com/play/PL34032DA1E2CAF695.html It's a great sounding sampler!!!!
Hey. This is, again, a beautiful video about a beautiful approach on the art of sampling. Thanks
These vintage samplers are so popular you’d think new devices that mimic their sound and function (with improvements due to innovative tech) would be marketable. At least a software emulator ought to be.
I’m trying to recreate this sampler. Any plug-in recommendations??
The demonstration at 8mins is fantastic!!! Can you share that technique?
I have said for years the sound engine in the asr10 was amazing I don't care what you sample in it it came out sounding better you have to literally hear it in person I never had one my friend did I have the mpc key61 thats the closest thing to having one
Sick. Can you explain the effects and modulation you're using here? Recently got one and am looking for modulation ideas
I have the EPS 16plus those Ensoniq engines and nasty in a good way. It’s definitely before it’s time.
Yo, how did you do that thing 8:15 where after you looped it the sound sounded like it was moving the loop points in reverse?
That was ultra dope and I wish there were software that I knew of that could do that.
can't believe esoniq hasn't made a VST yet they'd do numbers
The point of the ASR was the converters. It sat in it's own place in the audio spectrum. Ensoniq blew their wad on the PARIS system. Never recovered.
Is there any chance you could breakdown how D'angelo made some of the Brown Sugar sounds? They're so iconic. I think it was a jazz expansion disc?
Sounds amazing, great work!
Very much appreciated!!!!!! Thanks a million!!!!
My ASR10 is MIGHTY..I have more samplers but my ASR is my baby,my rifle,my rock,and I can use this while I am spinning vinyl live...
Are people sampling with the ASR 10 and then dumping it onto Abelton or some software to get that magic sound but with up to date editing? Do you lose that magic sound once its on your computer?
Would like to know also
No you don't lose it. It gets baked into the sound so to speak
This Is Awesome !!!!!!! ASR 10 Is The Greatest !!!!!
It's they sweetest ever made, it'll never be topped, manufacturers don't make items of this quality anymore, if it ever happened it'll easily cost over $10,000 if it was actually as good, anything else would be a cheap cash in.
Simply amazing!
Bro can you do a ASR10 video showing us how to sample a piano note and make it sound like a piano and not a stiff sample..💯💯
You got to put a beat on that save for your next album
God !???? Oh sheeet nos I know For Real that I have to buy it !!!! Thanks Always TDS!!
Wow 😮 just got one
The effects around 8:30 to 9 minute mark make me want one as an external effects unit. That's a lot of processing strain taken off a CPU right there if it can do that to incoming audio.
Look for the Ensoniq DP-4 or DP-2 efx units.. same engine without the sampler+workstation. But they're getting pricier over time...
Liked the effect that sounded like loop points (length?) change as well as loop type (forward / reverse) dynamically, in very creative way. How it was done? I guess it should be possible to do on EPS16+ as well?
What's up Serhiy!!! Thanks man!!! Definitely possible on the EPS16+ for sure! th-cam.com/video/u3rrwyURgk4/w-d-xo.html

Man i want one of these
Interesting, that as the ASR pitches up, it sounds almost like the piano gets turned into an FM piano....
What's up man!!!! It's definitely a different world up there for sure!!!
Man that piano so great time to make a beat 🎹
flaaaames 💯
Ain't it tho!!!
Jan Jelinek brought me here
Nice. But get that piano tuned up bro! Haha
16MB of RAM!
It's a definite blessing in disguise for sure!
I still have new zip tapes and drives
Asr 10 best sound i heard
Pretty incredible. Hope I can achieve some of this territory with the Isla s2400
I've tried and its not remotely close. But using them together would give you some really interesting stuff
2 opposite samplers
Is there anything out there with some modern functionality, but vintage style AD conversion circuitry?
What's up Nathan!! Thanks for reaching out!!! Converters have advanced so much in quality since then. There isn't anything modern that sounds like the ASR-10 that I know of. A great sounding modern sampler in its own right is the rossum electro-music Assimil8tor.

What up man!!! EDIT/PITCH & set your PITCH LFO to 0. That should be the end of your problem.
@@TheDaydreamSound thanks a lot! You have a dope channel btw.
@@zoltanmarkon6870 You're welcome man!!!! Glad you like the channel!!! Much appreciated!!!
The Daydream Sound I have an ASR10 with a dead power supply too. This channel has inspired me to fix it. Where do you suggest I start?

Shame the recording distorted but other sounds amazing
11:35 - 11:50 😁
Yeah man I remember the first time I heard samples in an ASR I was like oh!!!
What up Bruv!!!!!!! Yeah it's definitely crazy!!!!!!
I want one but so expensive 😌
u know it already has a user manual right..
No way! I never knew. Where can I get it? I'm new to all this hardware sampler stuff. I couldn't find it in the ASR-10 menu. There's no help menu.
Honky Tonk piano. Cool!
It was built like tank

Jesus that looped sample, wtf. That's just with some modulation?!?!?!?!?!
8:00
Ah yea!
indeed. That is spectacular
