AKAI S-1000 Sampler

At the time I was looking into a sampler. I came into contact with someone who had a studio and was allowed to view the AKAI S1000. I was very surprised at what you could do with a sampler and decided to buy something similar and that became the Casio FZ-1 with keys.

All parts were made from scratch in Vue Studio and I converted everything to OBJ format so that I could finish everything in Daz Studio. Textures are self-made and others are Daz shaders to get everything correct.

Additional Features:

• Rotary knobs
• LEDs on/off
• Display on/off

About:An oldie but a goodie. Akai's great sampler of the late eighties! It actually still stacks up pretty well even today! A 16-bit, 22kHz to 44.1kHz sampler with 2MB to 32MB of RAM. Editing and programming the S1000 is a very good precursor to the advanced S3000 series. There are lots of advanced edit capabilities for looping, truncating, sample merging, time comp/exp, tuning and even analog-like parameters to control its filters and envelopes. Individual outputs for each of the 16 voices, stereo mix out, stereo input, MIDI, and trigger inputs round out this machine as a professional vintage-status sampler that still proves to be very useful even today! It is used by Moby, The Chemical Brothers, SkyLab, Scanner, Fluke, Nick Rhodes, Fatboy Slim, LTJ Bukem, Mr. Oizo, Crystal Method, Pet Shop Boys, Gary Numan, Future Sound of London, Jean-Michel Jarre, Vangelis, Mouse on Mars, and Apollo 440.
