S3000XL

“Akai S3000XL in excellent condition with CP Magnetic Media, GOTEK USB floppy disk emulator & super enhanced LED screen

Upgraded with Akai FX board and max RAM.

I have owned this for around 4 years and it’s only ever been in my smoke free, home studio.

The USB floppy emulator comes with a 64GB USB drive. This allows you to store far more than the original floppy disks or SCSI drives.

The screen is a super enhanced, LED screen that is far brighter than the original Akai screens.

It does have a bit of rack rash but other than that it’s in excellent condition.

Fully tested ahead of listing.

Comes with original Akai manual.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“This listing is for a 19” rack Akai S3000 xl sampler. It has 32MB of built in memory and a rather rare EB16 FX board installed. I believe some samplers didn’t ship with the 8 way audio out installed too so it may be worth mentioning that it has that. The display is very dim and required tweaking to be able to read – I believe these can be replaced. The pictures of the screen haven’t been edited but I did need to catch it at the right angle in order to get it on the viewfinder. Whilst it’s technically usable I think it would be rather a strain on the eyes after many hours working with it. The pictures provided hopefully capture the cosmetic condition. The biggest issue with it I would say is the rack mount on the top left corner, I’d guess it’s bent a little from being racked incorrectly over time. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“This AKAI Sampler S3000 XL is a powerful tool for music production, with 16MWord RAM. The old floppy drive has been replaced with a more modern SD Card reader for easy transfer of sounds. Also comes with a little box containing various old Akai and other third party sample libraries on SD cards as well as a power cable.

From searching online I believe 16 MWord ram is equivalent to 32 Megabytes of ram.

Cosmetically it shows signs of age with some rust spots and has a small scuff on the screen.

When powered on the screen looks quite dim but still just about usable.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Relisted. Unit now comes with a broken volume knob and snapped potentiometer stalk courtesy of Royal Mail.

Backlight not working on LCD screen. Unsure about output performance hence ’for parts/not working’.

Has 32mb memory and the operating system V1 .06 on chip, but also has a floppy disc with S3000 OS 2.0 written on it which was in the drive.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
