Akai S6000 — the flagship sampler of 1999, fully working, SCSI2SD fitted

This was Akai's top-of-the-line studio sampler - the one we all lusted after in 1999 and couldn't afford. Now it can be yours, in very good condition for its age and fully functional. Honestly, I kept it longer than I should have just to enjoy looking at it - it's still one of the best-looking pieces of gear ever made.

Fully modernised: a SCSI2SD drive is fitted in the front 3.5" bay so no ageing hard drive or floppy faff, just reliable solid-state storage with easy SD card transfers.

Specs:

• 128 voices, 256MB RAM (fully maxed)
• Analogue I/O: balanced stereo + 16 unbalanced outputs
• Digital I/O: AES/EBU stereo, S/PDIF optical stereo, word clock
• USB card fitted
• 2x SCSI ports, floppy drive

One of the all-time classic rack samplers, the sound of countless '90s and 2000s records.
