Akai S950 Digital Sampler Pre-Owned with classic 12-bit sampler sound

This is a pre-owned Akai S950 Digital Sampler, a vintage rack sampler that holds an important place in the history of electronic music and sampling. The S950 is known for its characteristic 12-bit sound and direct hardware workflow. Especially for hip-hop, house, techno, and other sample-based productions, this sampler has a recognizable character of its own.

In practice, you use the S950 to record, edit, and trigger samples via MIDI. It is precisely the limitations of older sampling technology that give drums, bass lines, and other samples a sound that is clearly different from modern software samplers.
