Anyone tried the SQ80/ESQ-1 cartridges on eBay?
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>So, anyone who cares about these awesome old synths has probably seen the aftermarket cartridges going for $100 on eBay that add like 1200 patches via physical switch.</p> <p>My SQ80 already has a cartridge, but it's just a regular old Ensoniq one. I have been thinking about trying to consolidate the patches that actually get used regularly and using the cartridge to store alternates and user-modified patches.</p> <p>I can’t imagine that having 1,200 slots would ever actually be useful in a real-world writing or performing session, I’m more interested in whether it actually works, and whether it’s worth cycling through the included presets (I.e., are they any good?)</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/SkyhouseStudio"> /u/SkyhouseStudio </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/cwc588/anyone_tried_the_sq80esq1_cartridges_on_ebay/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/cwc588/anyone_tried_the_sq80esq1_cartridges_on_ebay/">[comments]</a></span>
