Description

Brand: Ensoniq

Model: EPS [Keyboard]

Including:

√ 2 x Binaries

√ Documentation about requirements.

Intention:

Mono Tanz provided firmware updates for Drum machines, Synthesizers, Samplers and other Music equipment for many years, both on Reverb and eBay worldwide. We have reached a point, where it is no longer worth to run a store selling eproms with firmware, on portals like Reverb and eBay, as these websites has been widely affected with local, European and international regulations to make the administration burden and existence absurd. We still want to ensure, that end-users still have the ability to update their devices, therefore is availability & knowledge very important.

This is how it works:

1. After the order you will receive the Binary incl. the instructions of what Eprom(s) types you need per download link.
2. You can place an order with the binary at an online-burning service, like buyicnow.com or use your own Eprom burner.

Above will not only give you a lower price point, but also higher quality than any crook-store found on eBay or Reverb etc..

Introduction:

This is firmware update 2.40 and is the latest known official released operation system by Ensoniq Corp. This operation system update/upgrade requires two eprom chips as revealed in the article`s photos. For more info, please check below.

Firmware 2.40 is required to use Version 2.49 Operation System disk

Features/Improvements for OS disk 2.49

DISK DRIVE

• The COPY FLOPPY utility on the EDIT/System page has been fixed.
• Removable SCSI drives are no longer surveyed like the internal floppy drive for disk (cartridge) being changed. Since the disk change status will be saved for a SCSI device, changing the disk (cartridge) will still be handled correctly. This prevents MIDI communication problems from occurring when the EPS is being controlled by an external sequencer.
• In previous versions, loading banks repeatedly from SCSI drives could cause the system to behave unpredictably. This has been fixed in the current version.
• When resaving a multi-disk sound, it was possible to end up with part one saved twice, thereby making it impossible to reload. This has been fixed.

MIDI

• Inbound controller #70 (patch select) messages are now handled correctly in MULTI mode. In version 2.40, patch select buttons which were pressed via MIDI were impossible to clear except by rebooting the EPS.
• There was a bug in previous versions which caused the machine to behave unpredictably when files were loaded via MIDI commands AFTER a bank load. This has been fixed.

DISPLAY

• The PAGE words in the display again indicate the file type during load operations. This function had been disabled in version 2.40.

SEQUENCER

• In previous versions, the QUANTIZE operation could move notes near the end of a sequence to the last clock, rather than quantizing them to the nearest note. Sometimes, these notes were not heard. This has been fixed.
• There was a bug which made it possible for a SONG file to use much more memory than it actually needed. This has been fixed.
• In SONG mode, a newly-recorded song track played back out of time while auditioning, but was OK after a KEEP NEW. This has been fixed so that the track plays correctly in audition.

Note:

• This Firmware eprom will not work for EPS-M [Latest here is called 2.41 and Monotanz has this too]
• EPS version 2.49 OS disk can be found online for free download
