It was one of the first affordable 16 bit stereo samplers to hit the market with tons of new features that were missing from most other instruments of that era. It's 16 bit, CD quality sound and 'time stretching' feature made it one of the best selling samplers that Akai ever produced. The S1000 contained lots of advanced edit capabilities for looping, truncating, sample merging, tuning and even analog-like parameters to control its filters and envelopes. The original units shipped with only 2 megs of RAM, but you could expand it to a whopping 32 Megs via the memory expanders that were available from Akai and third party companies. Speaking of third party companies. ![]() With the ability to add a SCSI port to the S1000 (which let you connect a CD-ROM drive to it), a whole host of sound companies started to pop up and create new sounds for the S1000. Literally thousands of CD's were released during the 90's from hundreds of different companies making the S1000 the most popular instrument ever to create sounds for. So popular in fact that the S1000/S3000 formats are considered a 'universal format' and can be read by just about any hardware or software sampler released over the past twenty years. The S-Series was expanded over a eleven year period from 1988 to 1999 with a whole host of 'S' samplers. They even produced a little known keyboard version S1000-KB which featured a 61-note keyboard with velocity and aftertouch sensitivity and room for an 80MB hard disk. The S2000 (a slimed down version) was made for the low market. The S3000, S3000-XL and S3200; added onboard effects, Digital I/O, SCSI and SMPTE interfaces as standard features and finally culminating with the S5000 and S6000; which were a totally redesigned user interface and boosted the max memory to an unbelievable 256 Megs. An amazing feature circa 1999! Another fundamental change to the architecture of the S5000 and S6000 is that Akai adopted the PC WAV file format as the standard for storing samples. By this time the computer was starting to become much more important in the home and pro studios replacing tape based machines which had ruled until then. ____ The Little known S1000-KB and 'Flagship' Akai S6000 Digital Samplers Akai started to see the writing on the wall and discontinued the S-Series in 2000. The faster computers, software samplers and amazing computer programs released during the past decade have meant the death of the hardware sampler as we once knew it.
