ES-1 benefits?
Can anyone explain the benefits of having an ES-1 if you already have an ESX-1? Does it do particular things better?
Ive owned the ES-1 since 2001. And i still use it on a regular basis, sometimes by itself and sometimes in conjunction with a microkorg and ESX-1 or an MPC. The benefits? well i have to admit that the sound quality on the ES-1 is actually very good for being 32 KHZ's. The Sound is thick and warm, yet very crisp right out the box. But of course i process my sounds quite a bit before i sample them into the ES. But still the sound is prestine and very distinctive.
On the other hand the ESX is kinda noisy. The compressor especially. In comparison the compressor on the ES-1 is pretty damn efficient and a lot less noisier.
That being said, i feel proud to own an ES...its a hell of a lotta fun to use and so simple to create music on. And so is the ESX.
In my opinion they are both classic machines, and i will never part with either of them!
peace
