One of the last heavyweight hardware samplers, the Yamaha A4000 is Yamaha’s second most powerful sampling box. This one is in fair condition with I believe 64mb memory (see image to confirm) plus an internal ZIP drive. Watch Don Solaris’ video on the A4000/A5000 to get a good feel for the power of these samplers

Lots of people actually use these not as samplers but as high quality multi effects units, especially for some of the more esoteric effects from the A3000 series. Check out Blush Response‘s video on the A3000 effects for a good demonstration.

The good:

It’s booting up fine and playing back the inbuilt tones.

The face is in good condition.

Buttons appear to work fine.

The not so good:

Like on every late 90s Yamaha, the encoders aren’t great. I’ve given them a go with contact cleaner which has helped.

Top is a bit rough but you won’t see it inside the case.

Zip appears to work but I can’t 100% confirm it’s longevity.
