EMU ESI 4000 Granulizer

video upload by Stereoping

"Another Synth Controller edition ... for #EMU #ESI Samplers! No, it can not edit LFOs and Envelopes because the ESIs do not support it in any way. But the #Granulizer makes creative use of the ESI's feature of modulating the Sample Start point by velocity. I saw this in a video of youTuber @Stereo Realist (source below) and wanted to see how far i come with a dedictad hardware device.

The Controller replaces velocity of incoming midinotes with knob tweakings while rapidly firing these manipulated notes on the ESI, like an arpeggiator with built in mididata manipulator. GRAIN LENGTH determines the duration until the Note Off event is sent. The result is a really bad but funny granular sampler.

Besides the controls for grain length, position, random position, pitchbend (cool for tuning frozen choirs or screaming cats to changing musical context) it offers some CC-knobs for realtime editing of VCA Level & Pan, VCF Cutoff & Q. Pressure can be freely assigned in the Realtime mods, e.g. to Attack.Yes, we all know: software and iPads can do this much better and cheaper but ... it's HARDWARE ! Edition's firmware and addendum (for details) available in my shop under DOWNLOADS.

E-mu ESi Granular Synthesis: An Impromptu Guide

video upload by Stereo Realist

"Rudimentary granular synthesis on an old hardware sampler; not entirely practical in most situations, but a good way to mangle your sounds for later resampling. You could probably go even deeper on the higher-end e-mu samplers of the era since they have a lot more modulation options from what I hear, though I've never personally used one."
