S3200XL

“Selling my Akai S3000XL sampler as Ebay gave me a 80% off Sellers Waiver.

On boot up it says `DRIVE NOT READY ! disk removed ?` (see photos) but the internal Compact Flash Drive works perfectly fine with zero issues. Again see pictures as I have partitioned the CF Card from A-P, so you can have say breaks on partition A, Bass on B, Vox on C etc. its a powerful feature in my opinion, and the drive is super fast speed on loading and saving. Seems exactly the same as the Zulu card to me (I have owned one also). Obviously you can have multiple CF cards and interchange them as I have it in the same place as the Floppy drive. I never came up with a permanent fix for access to the CF reader from the front so just used some masking tape – it works.

There is also a different knob on the front for main volume – it works exactly the same.

Screen has plenty of life in it as you can see. I have seen better screens, but also have seen far worse.

All the outputs, MIDI etc all work fine on the back.

“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

“Kingston 16 mb chip installed to add the 16 meg the unit comes with. The Akai effects module comes as standard with this, the top of the range model. Has been kept in great condition in a smoke free studio.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

” Beautiful example of this exceptional sampler! Condition is almost flawless, screen still nice and bright, paint has only a few little scuffs around the mounting points.

Admittedly, my phone makes the controls look ‘yellowed’ (as many examples are). Please be assured that this is not the case on this example, it’s just that I took the photos when the sun was setting directly outside the window! All the plastic parts are as they should be.

This one has all the stuff it should, extra filter board, EB-16 FX card, 8-Outs, 16mb RAM. All that good stuff. Nothing has been taken out of it!

This unit has been my main sampler for the last year and before that I used 3000XL’s for years. As such, I have thoroughly tested this sampler inside and out and it is flawless. Everything works as intended.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

” AKAI 3200 XL Classic Sampler, this was the flagship sampler of the 3000 series!

Includes effects board and the memory is expanded up to 235 seconds of sample time (not sure how many MB off the top of my head)

I used it recently and it works fine apart from the disk drive does not work and the ent/play key is now loose and needs fixing” Click here to visit listing on eBay
