The EPS-16 PLUS revolutionizes the way sampling is integrated into a worktation. For
the first time ever, the EPS 16 PLUS combines sampling with outboard dynamic digital
effects processing. The sonic realism that anly a sampler can offer, complete sequencing
features, and a polished sound that is a must for your music.

The fidelity af the EPS 16 PLUS is flawless; true 16bit linear oversampling technology with
sampling rates up to 44.64kHz. The EPS 16 PLUS has all the on board sample editing
functions you'd ever need Autolooping, volume smoothing, gain normalization and multiple
types of effects provide complete control over your sampled sounds. The EPS16 PLUS is
also a full function synthesizer, allowing you to reshape your sampled sounds with complete
freedom. 20 voice polyphony, multiple filters and envelopes, and a comprehensive
modulation matrix gives the EP~16 PLUS unequalled versatility. Now combine 24 bit
dynamic effects with this sampler/synthesizer and your music really comes to life. Reverb,
Chorusing, Flanging, Phasing, Distortion and Delay add immeasurably to the finished sound
of your instuments and Sequences.

With dynamic control over these effects you can reshape your sound with any perfannance
nuance. Only the EPS16 PLUS has the ability to resample sounds with their effects. For
example: add reverb to a drum sample, resample it, and then reuse the effects prosessor to
further color your music. The EP~16 PLUS also has ENSONIQ's exclusive Patch Selects
and Poly-Key Pressure keyboar~the ultimate expressive performance controllers. And it can
play while it loads new sounds, another ENSONIQ innovation.

The EP~16 PLUS is more than an expressive sampling instrument, it's also a 16-track
sequencing workstation with complete mixdown capabilities. You can record and edit your
performances with a wealth of creative tools. Options like memory expansion (including the
revolu tionary FLASHBANK pragrammable ROM memory), and individual outputs.
