EMU ESI 32

helloohah!

I just got this oldschool rack sampler

Anybody here have ideas on how this thing works? I'm trying to get the FX (it has the turbo FX/digi) working and it seems as though FX are only usable when using the SPDIF or something. Not sure.

Yeah. It's a bummer that it's so complicated! I do want to learn other aspects, but the first thing was to hear and test the FX which I haven't be able to do (pushing buttons scratching my head!)

Thanks,

JD

i found this, and I'll link to the article. It's very complex for me so if anyone has good reading comprehension check the link

"As the Submix busses and Main Outputs are always dry (lacking effects), the effects processor in the ESI-4000 Turbo cannot be utilized unless either the SPDIF or FX output connectors are used in lieu of Main Output L/R. Also, the SPDIF is a digital output and may be preferable to the analog main outputs in certain situations and setups, regardless of effects usage."
