Brief Overview and History
Ensoniq MIDI-Disk Tools for Windows is the pursuit of Rubber Chicken Soft-
ware Co. to congure a full-edged computer support vehicle for the Ensoniq
line of samplers. It’s ideological genesis was a small program by Jeffery Richter
and Donna Murray called EPS-SENSE, which was written in 1989 to support
the Original EPS. It feature parameter editing and a waveform form where you
could see the wave (unfortunately, Ensoniq had a bug in their OS that prevented
this - it didn’t get xed until 2.49, long after the Original EPS passed it’s hey-day).
We had been selling that program, until we entered an agreement with Jeffrey
Richter to obtain the source and modify it to work with the 16-Plus and ASR-10.
Well, we had so many ideas for a great program that we abandoned the shell of
his DOS program and made our own, which you see the results of today. The
idea of this program is to get your hands of the EPS/ASR with it’s button pushing
and on a house and a keyboard and a monitor, where you can see everything.
All the screens necessary are provided, along with a sequencer control and a
special MIDIKeyboard controllable from a mouse or computer keyboard, so you
don’t even have to have a keyboard nearby!
