"Sampling directly" is a good way to blow your Ensoniq chip. (I know: $25
labor, $25+ chip.) Yes, it's possible, and it works for a while, but the
chip wasn't designed for that.
If you don't mind putting together a few parts, you can build your own
adapter, though (explanation follows):
GS

5V Zener /_\ Signal /_\ = 1.5V Battery microphone,

I don't remember the pin connections for Analog In and Ground on the 7-pin
sound connector in the GS. Others have probably posted them. If not, write
back and I'll look inside mine.
The Ensoniq is designed to handle 0 to +2.5 Volts. Most tape and CD players
produce an output from, say, -1 to +1 volts. (Or -5 to +5 if you turn it up.)
So the battery boosts this up to within the right range for the IIgs. The
5V Zener gives protection against brief voltage spikes, like sudden loud
noises from the microphone. The signal diode gives protection from the other
end, when the microphone is trying to drive negative voltages (from
excessively loud noises). To test this, use AudioZap, HyperStudio, or some
