The ESI-4000 is a professional sampler at a breakthrough price! It's a 64 voice sampler with 4 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!

Hi, feel free to delete me if this is a violation. Basically, I'm trying to figure out what to ask for a turbo version of this I'm selling with an internal zip drive and upgraded ram. I don't actually remember how much ram, that's how long it's been since I used it. Anyway, ballpark estimates of what to ask are appreciated. I don't see any on eBay at the moment. Thanks for any advice.

I just snagged one of these in MINT condition off eBay "Buy Now" with power adapter, manual, a dozen AKAI/EMAX III Proteus Library sample CD's, 1 internal 2GB SCSI Jazz Drive and a 2 GB External SCSI Jazz Drive, with free shipping all for $89.00!!

The eBay listing was less than 1 hour old before I grabbed this deal, never owned the ESI4000 before, but I did own 2 ESI-32 Turbo Expanded racks and enjoyed them greatly through the years until the external SCSI CD ROM drives all quit working, never found replacement CD drives the ESI-32's would accept. :(

@ser76:

I have a ESI 2000 and this sampler ( I think the esi 4000 also) can read EMAX II samples and full presets. I had all my EMAX II samples on the old syguest format. 44 MB HDs. SCSI.
With SCSI to t he ESI 2000 all samples/presets are loaded in the ESI 2000 and saved again on ZIP 200 MB drives.
Also the old EMAX II libraries on CD-Rom's are readable by the ESI 2000.
You have to load and convert the samples in the machine, but it works simple and good!
