Re: Ensoniq DP/4

[Will Brake <wbrake@home.com>]

I would avoid Ensoniq products. They were "swallowed up" by EMU. The
transition has not been pretty. We are having great difficulty getting
repair parts for any Ensoniq products. Some repairs are taking over a
year to complete because of this. 

DP/4? Good processor. Two versions. Original version had one PCB. The
later model split the analog and digital sections into individual PCB's.
For those who don't know, PCB = printed circuit board. I would opt for
the latter version with two boards. I've seen fewer problems with those. 

I think the later model was called the DP/4 +, but I seem to remember
seeing split boards in a DP/4. I see so many pieces of gear, it's
difficult to remember the repair without looking it up. Hope this helps!

Be Well
