Akai S950 Sampler, in excellent condition. This sampler is a beauty, especially for recording drums. It can be very gritty or clean, depending on how you use it. The time stretch sounds SO GOOD and so do the looping functions. Many famous musicians have used this, including Moby, Fatboy Slim, DJ Shadow, Premier, Dr. Dre and others to get that 12-bit crunch that hip hop was raised on. It has the same classic sound as the Akai MPC60. The MPC 60 is the S950 plus a sequencer, so hook this up via MIDI to a computer or other sequencer and you have the MPC 60. It comes with 750KB of sample RAM and is upgradeable to 2.25MB.
Specs: 12-bit linear, 7.5 - 40kHz sampling rates (63 seconds). Up to 48kHz sampling rate; 8-voice polyphony; full compatibility with existing S900 Sound Library Disks. Filter envelope, pre-trigger recording, crossfade looping, and additional functions to facilitate dynamic sound expression. Loads disks while playing for effective live performance use.; 8 individual outputs so you can record each drum individually; a main stereo pair OUT to monitor the whole mix; headphone out; 3.5" internal disk drive for saving and loading samples. Able to format any 3.5" disk; MIDI IN, OUT, THRU; Fits standard 19" rack.
