Transoniq Hacker - Magazine for Ensoniq User's

Transoniq Hacker (1985-1999) - The independent News Magazine for Ensoniq Users



The Transoniq Hacker was an independent monthly newsletter for users of Ensoniq products published by Eric Geislinger. It provides a goldmine of info and tips for all Ensoniq synth/ sampler owners from the Mirage up to the ASR-X. Unfortunatley this link mostly includes the earlier editions of the newsletter. There were 173 issues in total, 001 (1985) - 073 (July 1991) and 112 (October 1994) are available at the link below. There was no Internet in those days, so this must have been a godsend to suscribers.

NICE find. Thanks Clint.

wow. Thats interesting. Thanks.

I love reading stuff like this, I didn't know jack about music production, synths or samplers ten years ago. Don't know if there was anything similar for Akai owners before the Internet opened things up.

Cheers mate!

thanks.

The EPS classic / EPS-m aren't mentioned until issue 30

Props!

Now that's dope...I wonder if Lamp or any of the ASR heads were up on this back in the day?

Bump.

Those zines are nice, a full overview of all editors and 3rd part OS, would be nice
I would considering a Ensoniq Mirage if someone would leak those things for download

Wow, what a nice find. I remember this from back in the day. Never got a subscription myself though. Lots of good stuff in there.

Back then when you purchased your new S-950 it came with a subscription to the PAN Network.

Most Mirage info was contained within M.U.G.
