“I bought the Akai back in the late 1990s as I wanted to re-record some old material.
However, It was hardly ever used and has been left protected in a 19 inch rack doing nothing for over 25 years.
If you look closely at the photos you will see that it still has the protective polythene covering on 3 sides of the body.
All the lettering on the front and rear of the device show very little to no sign of use.
The resonance can be altered during operation and it also has both low and high pass filters, something the S1000 and other Akai samplers didn’t have. This combined with very high bit rate recording/sampling and processing made it a truly professional, high quality sampler.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
