About this model

The E-MU ESI-32 is a 2-space rack-mount polyphonic digital sampler released in 1994, built around a 16-bit sample engine running at rates from 22.05 kHz up to 44.1 kHz and offering 32 voices of polyphony (16 in stereo mode). Its architecture derives from E-MU's higher-end EIIIX, bringing 32 analog-voiced 24 dB/octave lowpass filters and an extensive onboard editing suite covering truncation, loop editing, pitch shift, time compression/expansion, Para-EQ, Doppler, and more. It handles 16 MIDI multitimbral parts simultaneously and can import samples from Emax-II and Akai S-1000 libraries. Connectivity includes four unbalanced quarter-inch outputs, two unbalanced quarter-inch inputs, and MIDI In/Out/Thru, with a built-in 3.5-inch disk drive expandable via optional SCSI or ZIP drives. Memory starts at 2 MB and expands to 32 MB, and the unit accepts optional Turbo FX cards for reverb, delay, chorus, and distortion, as well as Digital I/O for S/PDIF.

A great opportunity to own a E-MU ESI-32 at this price point.
