Ensoniq SD-1 90's Polyphonic Digital Additive Synthesiser & Sequencer - 100V

The SD-1 was released in 1990. It is an interesting digital synthesiser as it uses additive synthesis and waveform modulation to create sound, a kind of wavetable synthesis. This places the SD-1 among unique synthesisers such as the PPG Wave and Waldorf Microwave series. 

The SD-1 can create all sorts of acoustic, electric, digital, and analog-like sounds. Its piano sound has over 1 MB of 16-bit waveforms to give it a full and rich realistic tone not found in other digital synthesisers of the time.

The SD-1 has 21 voices of polyphony and a single patch can contain up to 6 of the 168 waves in its ROM memory that can be combined and layered. Advanced and analog-like synth parameters including its dual multi-mode digital filters, three 11-stage envelopes, LFO, and 15 modulation sources allow you to further shape and morph your sounds. There's even a dual effects processor with reverb, chorus, flanging and delay.

The SD-1 has a professional quality on-board sequencer making it a complete all-in-one music production workstation. This is a 24-track sequencer with 25,000 note capacity and it holds up to 60 sequences and 20 songs. 

Condition:

  • This unit has been used.

  • This SD-1 has had a major service. All issues and faulty components were replaced. It has since been tested and we can confirm it is fully functional and sounding great!

  • Unfortunately the floppy disk drive is not working, however is not necessary to use the synthesiser or save or move sounds or sequences as it also has MIDI. This could be swapped out by a synth savvy person with a more modern USB or SD card emulator. 

  • The cosmetic condition of this unit is good. It shows some general wear from use and age like some text and paint finish which was worn off the front. The text is for the inputs and outputs on the back which is still clear on the back of the unit. It does not detract from use or functions of the machine. Please see photos for further details.

Good quality, but a few issues with the hidden mounts and levelness.
Size: 35x7 2Pcs, Color: Black, Size: 35x7 2Pcs, Color: Black
These are quite nice and also sturdy. Only complaint I have is that I bought a couple of these, and on one of them, only one of them, it was difficult to get the hidden mounts to go into the holes. I think it was probably a manufacturing defect thing. Also, on that particular one, it wasnt as level as the other. Not a show stopper, but if you need a perfectly level type of mounting situation, I would be careful here.

Nice looking. Not very sturdy. Easy to install.

Update: The shelf slopes at about a 45° angle when you put anything more than about a pound on the outside edge of it. Perfectly fine up against the wall. Just seems like the braces inside aren't long enough to really give the stability needed. Bracket is nice and tight against the wall. Had to add braces underneath to hold a small plant, a photo and a small container. Wa sloping more and more each week The shelves look great and we're pretty easy to install. They have a single bracket that is very easy to mount to the wall and get nice and level.. The downside is that the bracket isn't long enough to go between studs. This seems like a pretty simple oversight. I mean why wouldn't you make it long enough to go stud to stud? Secondly and maybe more fatally the bars that go inside the shelf to support them coming out from the wall are significantly shorter than the depth of the shelf. Unfortunately this means the shelf is only supported the first few inches coming out from the wall so there is the potential for a slight lean forward.. The anchors they send are trash. Cheap soft plastic that just tears and bends with a screwdriver. I would suggest spending $2 and grabbing your own anchors from Ace or home Depot. The shelves are essentially made of a high grade cardboard kind of wood. They are not going to support much weight or last for years and years however there incredibly affordable and look nice and easy to install. Long as your expectations are right you'll be happy.
