The Ensoniq ASR-10 is a legendary 16-bit sampler/workstation celebrated for its warm, musical sound, powerful effects engine, and deeply expressive sampling workflow that defined countless 90s productions. With its iconic purple screen, real-time performance controls, and unmatched creative flexibility, it remains a studio classic for producers seeking hands-on sampling with character and depth.

This keyboard is in good condition and includes a 3.53 boot disk and power cord.  Has 16MB of memory installed.  I am not well-versed with Ensoniq gear, but I have confirmed the synthesizer boots up (most of the time, see below), passes keyboard tuning, loads samples and effects from the floppy disk, and plays from the keyboard (all keys are working).  One rubber foot and a few screws are missing. 

Sometimes it seems to struggle to boot up  The screen stays blank, there is a ~15 second delay before the disk spins, and it sounds like it makes a few to several attempts to get going and then it enters the keyboard tuning routine.  I recapped the original power supply capacitors, but it didn't help this problem

Because of this, the weight of the keyboard, and my limited testing, I am selling this as local pickup only at an attractive price.  Prospective buyers will have a chance to try out the synthesizer and confirm they are satisfied with it before they carry it off.  Once it has left my possession, all sales are final.
