The ESI-32
The ESI-32 is the latest in the long line of high quality and affordable
E-mu sampling products. The ESI-32 features 22.05 kHz and 44.1 kHz
sampling rates and 16-bit resolution for CD quality sound. Sampling can
be performed in either mono or true stereo. A unique feature of the
ESI-32 is that full 16 channel polyphony is maintained when stereo
samples are utilized. The user-upgradable memory can be expanded to a
maximum of 32 Mbytes using standard SIMM modules (Details and
installation are available at your E-mu dealer).
The ESI-32 has full access to the huge library of sounds available from
E-mu and other sources. It is fully compatible with the legendary EIII
and EIIIX libraries, and can import Emax II and Akai S1000/S1100
banks. In many cases, the ESI-32 can import and convert programs
faster than the source unit!
The advanced features of the ESI-32 make sampling easy. Samples can
be automatically truncated, normalized and placed on the keyboard as
the sample is taken. The ESI-32 contains advanced tools such as Auto
Correlation, Loop Compression and Crossfade Looping which allow
even the most difficult sounds to be easily looped.
Samples can be digitally spliced and mixed with other samples, and
dynamically controlled from the keyboard using velocity and positional
crossfading and switching functions. Advanced digital processing
features such as Sample Rate Conversion, Compressor, Digital Paramet-
ric Equalizer and Digital Tuning allow you to shape raw samples more
quickly and with greater precision than computer based systems.
Additional digital processing functions include: Time Compression and
Expansion, which shorten or lengthen the time of samples without
changing the pitch; and Doppler/Pan, which allows you to move
samples forward and backwards in space as well as from side to side.
The ESI-32 contains 32 "analog-sounding" 24 dB/octave lowpass filters
with resonance. Modulation sources include three AHDSR envelope
generators and a multi-wave LFO per channel, as well as full MIDI
modulation control over virtually every parameter.
The ESI-32's unique Trigger Mode allows up to ten different samples to
be triggered from the front panel without connecting a keyboard,
making it an ideal tool for "house" or "hip-hop" music.
