 +      * “when I press play on the MPC to start a sequence, the Microfreak preset always changes to Preset #2. How do I get this to stop?” - If you look on the MIDI track settings you can choose which preset it is playing. One of those setting will be a 1 or a 2, change it to change the default preset for that track, or turn it off to not have it change the preset at all. It's one of the "bank" settings

-  * EPS - M - Performance Sampler Module+  * EPS-M - Performance Sampler Module 
 +    * May ‘89 Article - http://www.muzines.co.uk/articles/ensoniq-eps-m-sampler-module/61 
 +    * 16 bit sampler with 1.7MB, 4 times as much as EPS 
 +      * 34.4 seconds at 30kHz, 19.8s at 52.1kHz, or 167s at 6.25kHz. 
 +    * Direct competitor to Akai S1000 
 +    * double sided 3.5" disk can only store a maximum of 800K, corresponding to 1600 blocks of EPS-M memory. Above this you get involved in multiple disk storage 
 +      * prompting for multiple disks when saving, but not when loading 
 +    * maximum hard disk memory is 600MB via SCSI 
 +    * Can load while another sample is playing 
 +    * EPS-M comes complete with eight dynamically assignable polyphonic audio outs, offering up to 20-note polyphony. A separate stereo headphone socket is situated on the front panel to assist the setting up of samples without anybody else hearing them. Again this is a significant improvement on the original EPS on which the only headphone socket was the right-hand stereo line output. 
 +    * The EPS-M manual has been written and designed by Bill McCutcheon (a familiar name to Ensoniq users), available free to EPS owners on request. Includes: Musician's Manual, Advanced Applications Guide, and SCSI Manual 
 +    * Dynamic mixing of different samples is possible with the built-in mixer section; digital signal processing commands include six different kinds of crossfade looping, wavesample copy, volume smoothing and others; sample editing is done on a non-destructive basis, which allows you to hear an effect before deciding to keep it. 
 +    * Price Expected to be around £2200 
 +    * Recent to 2022 - sold for $549 plus $85 S&H https://reverb.com/item/37288593-ensoniq-epsm-rackmount-sampler
