EPS, EPS+, ASR10

[City Situation]

I can't believe I got an M-Audio Axiom for the same price I coulda gotten an EPS or something.

Can someone quickly run down differences, etc, between these different Ensoniq keyboards?

So like I said I have a Midi keyboard. Maybe I should just get an ASR10 rack mount?

My friend has the asr10 and had the rack..he liked the workflow on the keyboard better.....An ar10 is definatley capable of making some heat

DAMN HOW MUCH YOUR AXIOM COST? I WOULDNT OF BOUGHT A MIDI BOARD FOR MORE THAN 200 TOPS ANYTHING ABOVE THAT MIGHT AS WELL LOOK INTO HARDWARE......

^no doubt the used market is the way to go. Most of the hits are made on old school pieces like ASR-10s and Old school Roger Lynn MPCs anyways

I got an M-Audio Axiom 49 for $200 or $220, brand new at GC. Dude hooked it up. Definitely kind of expensive for a controller, but it's really good, has a bunch of assignable shit and pads. I mainly got it though because it's built sturdy & nice keys. I believe it goes for around $250.

EPS has heating problems, correct? It's best to buy a fan, etc. I know the heat often causes that great hardware sound, but I don't want it to get so hot it stops working. Does the ASR10 have a similar problem?

250 and tax and the power cable and shipping on the power cable. I didnt know much and got it at guitarcenter. I had to return it too and get a new one cuz the LCD got fucked up, but it's fine now.

Now I'm thinking. It's not that bad but for just a lil more I could have gotten something good used, AND I STILL could have used it as a MIDI keyboard like I have now. I do use FL Studio mostly so that's a problem, cuz you can't really record it into FL Studio, gotta record it into another program, which makes the FL Studio process take even longer.
