I'm (still) looking at getting my first h/w sampler. The ESI2000 looks like a good deal but will the lack of graphical display be a real hinderance?

I have a PC with SCSI so i imagine I can do the editing there but not having ever done this I don't understand the importance of it..

Thanks

i'm using esi2000 w/my pc on scsi chain. and there are a couple good programs you can use to manipulate samples and send/receive with the esi. soundforge is the one i use. there is also a utility prog that's pretty good called esi-win. you can save samples on to your windows drives as .wav and re-arrange banks, etc.

Thanks mate

I am SCSI'd up so I guess is it not such a problem. How are you getting on with it? Sound good?

Did you get the Turbo card?

Did you get it in the UK? If so, how much?

Thx

ESI-WIN ?

A link to a review would be nice. Haven't found anything on it.

Thanks

Hey There
I recently aquired an esi-32 which I tricked out with max. ram, 3.02 O/S, etc. I think you will find that with a scsi PC chain and soundforge (or something similar) you won't really be looking at the LCD very much. I've had a few samplers and am really impressed with the ESI series, especially now that you can get them so cheap. Beware that you will need a specific SCSI card driver if you use adaptec SCSI cards, see the emulator Archive link for more info....

In response to Neoavatar, my fellow Mac
user:

Get a USB to SCSI adapter for your
sampler, and an extra SCSI HD to put in
your sampler for storing banks (don't
pay more than $50US for the HD... get it
used.)

Unless you have a ZIP drive in your
sampler, and another ZIP drive for your
Mac, there's no other way of loading
samples efficiently.

For sending samples, you can use D-SOUND
Pro, ReCycle or SoundDiver.

Best of luck, and feel free to email me
if you need any hel
