Critic Reviews

The Powerful Ensoniq DP Pro Effects Processor from 1997

vintagedigital.com.au

While the Ensoniq DP Pro boasts a robust set of effects and dual processing capabilities, it falters with an unintuitive interface compared to its predecessors. Musicians may appreciate the advanced sound quality and extensive effects list, but the complexity may deter beginners. For those seeking simplicity, other models may be more appealing. Overall, the DP Pro is a powerful tool for seasoned users but presents a steep learning curve that could overshadow its strengths.

Great Multi Effects

This thing can get weird. Which is a great thing. It has terrible reverbs, terrible but super useful. Delays, ducking delays, weird rhythmic delays. Chorus, distortion, flange and some weirdness.

Sold in my studio purge. If I could find another one locally I would buy it in a second.
