For sale: A very rare Akai S1000KB High Quality Digital Sampling Keyboard from 1990.
A highly regarded sampler keyboard and ideal tool for House, Hiphop, EDM productions and other genres. Includes several original Akai floppy disks.
She's a big and heavy girl not to be messed with :) All in all a true gem from the 90's in it's original state. These don't come by often.
Features include:
- 16-note polyphony allowing complex passages to be played with the full sample time.
- The S1000 is perfectly compatible with sequencers such as the AKAI MPC-60 or ASQ-10.
- 8 loop points per sample.
- Two independent ADSR Envelope Generators.
- Full velocity, positional and looping crossfading.
- Digital Sample Editing: This feature enables you to "stretch" or "squeeze" samples without changing the pitch in order to fit them into a specific time slot.
- In the studio: eight separate outputs allow maximum flexibility in mixing and adding effects.
- The S1000 is capable of processing up to 200 samples, 100 programs, or a combination of up to 400 samples + programs and key-groups.
On the back of the keyboard you will find a lot of I/O options to choose from like:
- Sustain and foot-switch pedal connections
- MIDI IN/OUT/THRU
- SCSI
- XLR and JACK Inputs and Outputs + 8 individual outputs
- Effect Send and Return
Disclaimer: It needs a replacement Akai S1000 S1100 2MB Memory Card which is about 45,- euros which should be an easy fix.
