” Here we have an auction for both S2000 and S01 Akai samplers. Ive upgraded to a S3000XL and bobbed in a Susano Monster to give it 500mb hard drive so no longer need the S2000. I also robbed the filter AND effects boards from the S2000 and they were working fine while in the sampler. It does though, come with the 8 output board which again was working fine. S2000 is fitted with 9MB(18MWords)
Up to around 2 months ago the S2000 worked fine but now it wont boot from the floppy drive. It goes so far and then just stops. It also has to be booted up with the system disc already in to start to boot so im guessing its the floppy drive thats kaput. Please see pics.
The S01 boots up and the data wheelworks fine and runs through as it should. I have not however tested any further and have not actually used the machine for over 20 years hence why this auction is listed as “spares or repair” but it has been kept dry storage in my studio and probably will still work.” Click here to search for MPCs on eBay
