EMU ESI-32 Digital Sampler – from the Blu Mar Ten Studio.
One of the first samplers we had, bought some time in 1996.
Condition is excellent, in fact it looks hardly used. Easy to upgrade memory / storage etc if you feel like it.
Collection from our studio preferred (close to Finsbury Park, London) but can also post, although it’s pretty heavy so will cost a bit.
If you come and pick it up you can stay for a cup of tea, a chat about music and take away a bonus bunch of BMT vinyl & CDs if you want them.

ESI-32 features a variety of input/output capabilities including two 1/4″input ports for stereo 128x oversampling sigma/delta analog-to-digital conversion and two pair of polyphonic 1/4″ output ports (sub outputs & main outputs) standard with each unit. The single pair of sub-outputs may also be used as inputs from external devices. MIDI input, output and Thru ports are standard elements of all models.
Available as upgrade input/output options, advanced SCSI lines with a 5-pin SCSI port and/or S/PDIF digital I/O may be added to the ESI-32.
ESI-32 STORAGE DEVICE
ESI-32 units ship standard with an internal 3.5″ floppy disc drive, accessible from the product’s front panel, allowing for the loading and saving of samples and presets. As operating system software is stored in read only memory (ROM), ESI-32 “Boot-Up” is instantaneous and requires no manual loading of a system disc through the unit’s floppy drive.
A 3.5″ Syquest 270MB removable media had drive may also be added to the ESI-32 replacing the on-board floppy drive – as an upgrade option.
Units upgraded with the ESI-32 SCSI option may also access a variety of external mass storage SCSI devices
ESI-32 MEMORY
ESI-32 accepts standard RAM SIMMs. Basic models ship with 2MB of installed RAM and will facilitate up to 32 MB of factory or user-installable RAM SIMMs.
ESI-32 FRONT PANEL PLAYBACK KEYS
A new feature for E-MU products, ESI-32’s unique Front Panel Sample Playback Keys allow up to ten independent, user-defined samples to be triggered from the front panel without use of an external MIDI Keyboard, making it an ideal tool for house or hip-hop.
