The Ensoniq ESQ-M is a digital synthesizer and sequencer released by Ensoniq in 1986. It was the first Ensoniq product to feature a built-in sequencer, as well as a built-in disk drive for storing sequences and patches. It featured an 8-voice polyphony, 16-bit sampling, and a 61-key velocity-sensitive keyboard. It was popular among musicians for its warm analog-like sounds and its ability to store and recall patches quickly.
