Akai S950 with 2.25MB RAM

“Up For Sale: x1

AKAI S950 Sampler w/
– High Contrast Display Screen (White Text on Black Background)
– Gotek USB Emulator Drive (with included 16GB USB Thumb Drive loaded w/ sounds)
– Max RAM Memory (1536 kwords)
– Most Current 1.2A OS (1.2B OS is only if SCSI card is installed, which this unit does not have, but you can track down and install easily with a screw driver and included harness)

This unit has been upgraded with all of the above specifications and has been tested to be fully working (all buttons and knobs, as well as a sample recording / play test). The unit has several scratches, rack rash and the front panel leans slightly forward (visible in the pictures), but it IS nearly 35 years old. Due to the age and condition of the unit, it is sale As-Is, but is guaranteed to arrive as specified. Finding a unit in mint condition will cost several hundreds to $1000 more.

This is a classic sampler with that authentic 12-bit sound we all love, be it 90s hip-hop, downtempo/trip-hop, jungle/d’n’b, breaks/electro, techno or house. This is the highly sought after S950 (more so than the S900) because of the unique sound of the built in Filter. These have become quite rare and only appear to be going up in price. ” Click here to search for MPCs on eBay
