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.

A bit repetitive
Format: Paperback
The Family Systems approach makes a great deal of sense and is very helpful. But this book seems to be somewhat formulaic - every case looks the same.

Extremely enlightening!
Format: Paperback
A psychologist recommended I read this book as my daughter and I were having issues. Wow! What you'll find in this book will change your whole thinking about relationships with family members. Very enlightening as to why we all behave as we do and what affect our behavior has on the development of our children. A MUST read for every parent. I bought a copy for each of our children and grandchildren to read.

Some good advice
Format: Paperback
Roberta Gilbert's "Extraordinary Relationships" offers useful advice for dealing with family relationships couched amidst an examination of systems theory. Although it is more technical than a lot of self help, it can be used by a general audience. Gilbert examines the theory of Murray Bowen, who countered notions of individual psychology (like those of Freud) with the theory that personality develops as a result of a family unit. The nuclear family, like a herd of amimals, reacts against each other, speaking a common language that is known only to them. Children raised in that family then detach from the family to form their own adult relationships, where dynamics may follow the family system. In order to heal adult problems, the author offers some practical advice, like taking the time to observe old patterns as they crop up (family Christmas fights come to mind) with the dispassionate mind of an observer. The author states that individuals will better be able to understand family dynamics and their role in them by doing this. I've read this book twice, and it has helped me better understand my family, and my role within it. I would recommend it for those who are seeking to better understand their family of origin, and what they can do to improve their present life through understanding the past.
