Run audio through the Ensoniq EPS-16 PLUS effects! Audio-In effects let you send external audio signals into the effects processor that's built into the Ensoniq EPS-16 PLUS. A guitar, mic, or line level signal, when plugged into the audio-in jack, is routed to BUS1 of the effects processor. A Mic/Line switch and level control adjust the gain of the input. Can I still use the keyboard? Yes, internal sounds can still play too, using BUS2 or BUS3.

What's it good for? Use the EPS-16 PLUS as an extra effects box in your studio. Or play a gig and bring as little equipment as possible - just the EPS-16 PLUS and a mic. You may want to use the unique keyboard-controlled pitch-shifter to change your voice intao a vocal quartet in real-time. Or use the Time-Dicer to change the pitch of a track without changing it's tempo.

No Hardware. It's a disk? The disk contains a number of effect algorithms which load into the machine. Thirteen of the effects on this disk are enhancements of the ROM effects that are built into the EPS-16 PLUS; from HALL REVERB+X all the way down to WA+DST+REV+X.

The other eight effects on this disk are totally new:

• PLATE-REVERB
• PLATE-VERB+X
• NONLIN
• REV+X PARALLEL EFX
• 2CHO+REV+X
• PAR-FX GTR+X
• TIME-DICER+X
• 3V HARMONY+X

PLATE REVERB is a studio staple for adding presence and warmth to percussive sounds and solo instruments.

NON-LINEAR REVERB has an abrupt cutoff instead of a smooth tail - just the ticket for modern drum sounds. A new guitar effect gives you distortion, delay and reverb on the audio in, with a separate chorus and reverb that can be used for other sounds at the same time.. And if you like the TIME-DICER, you'll love the new 3-voice pitchshifter: 3V HARMONY. Polyphonic keyboard control means it works as a vocal harmonizer, creating three new harmony parts from one voice input.
