The ESI-4000 is a professional sampler at a breakthrough price! It's a 64 voice sampler with 16 MB sampling (expandable to 128 MB). The ESI-4000 is basically a fully upgraded ESI-32, with double the polyphony! There is a host of powerful DSP capabilities and sample editing tools including time compression and expansion, parametric EQ, and digital tuning, manual and automatic truncation, cross-fade looping, cut, copy, paste, normalization, transform multiply and automatic correlation for easy looping.

Well equipped for studio use, the ESI-4000 ships with 4 analog outputs and a standard built-in SCSI interface for easy integration with your computer, CD-ROM, and other storage media. The ESI-4000 is available in three varieties: Standard, Turbo, and Turbo Zip. The Turbo offers two additional stereo sub-outs, an effects stereo submix, two 24-bit stereo effects processors, and S/PDIF digital I/O. The Turbo Zip comes with all of the Turbo features and replaces the standard 3.5 inch floppy drive with an Iomega Zip drive. The Standard ESI-4000 can be upgraded using the ESI Turbo Option Kit. With its ability to grow with your needs, the ESI-4000 may be the only sampler you'll ever need to buy!

Any chance you could give / point to more details about this mod? i think an ESI with a CF reader might be a much welcome update. The "no .wav" problem is still not solved, but hey - that helps.

I've modded my ESI400 to take Compact Flash cards using the internal SCSI bus, a SCSI to IDE converter, and an IDE to CF interface -- all powered by the ESI's internal power supply. Still quite useful today especially at the prices they go for.

To Mariusz napisz do mnie na - info"malpa"jakub.org.pl - sprobuje ci pomóc.
I check all samplers from ESI series and this one have the best sound from all but inside look not good like ESI32. Most connection tape is very delicate and sensitive to bending.
So, if you must open ESI4000 you must be very careful.
