Hey everyone,

I found an Ensoniq sound CD-ROM that was made for the ASR-10 / ASR-88 / TS-10 / TS-12 series. According to the listing, the sounds are in Ensoniq format and are meant to be loaded into the sampler through a connected SCSI CD drive, so this is clearly not a normal audio CD.

My goal is to extract the sounds from the disc in a way that lets me use them without needing the original Ensoniq hardware. Ideally, I would love to convert the material into something usable in Kontakt, or at least get the underlying samples/patches out in a modern format that I can work with in my DAW.

Has anyone here done this before?
Is there a reliable workflow, tool, or conversion method for Ensoniq-format libraries?
And if Kontakt is not realistic, what would be the best way to extract and preserve the content properly?

Any help, experience, or pointers would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks!
