2434.0. "ENSONIQ EPS 16 PLUS" by CSC32::M_MOSHER (Cause he's a happy guy) Thu Sep 06 1990 20:55

I wandered into a local music store here in Colorado Springs and 
saw a flier with the following information:

ENSONIQ EPS 16 PLUS
-Same basic architecture as EPS as far as O/S
-16 bit linear sampling (as opposed to 13 bit of the old eps)
-24 bit f/x process (like on the VFX)
-4 outs (6x out expander optional)
-Can load instruments while the sequencer is playing
-Will play eps samples (and I assume mirage samples)
-Comes standard with 1 meg (equivalent of 2x expanded eps)
 expandable to 2 meg 
-Option memory available which will allow samples to
 remain in memory after the machine is turned off
-Front panel similar to old eps with eps type soft buttons
-Enhanced sequencer:  Same event editing as VFXsd, multi-trak
 record mode.  Step entry-does not exist.  

Price:  $2395.00

RACKMOUNT EPS 16 PLUS
-Fully expanded to 2 meg
-3 rack spaces (like EPS-M)

Price: 2495.00

Old EPS is being replaced by the EPS 16 PLUS, though they will continue
to support the EPS.

    This news makes soooooooo proud that I recently bought an EPS-M!  No
    matter how hard I try, I just can't keep up with the latest MIDI toys. 
    This new version will be out before I finish reading the manual for the
    "old technology".
