NOTE: This is a MIDI sample PLAYBACK machine. It has no audio inputs and does NOT record samples. As designed.” Link

“Mint condition. Kept in smoke free studio envitoment. Comes with a selection of sample cd’s and floppy discs.” Link

“Picture is of actual item for sale. Unit powers up and all buttons appear to function correctly. Sold As-is.” Link

“Minor scratches aside, this unit is in very neat condition for its age. The only downside is that the volume knob snapped, but I’m including it so you can glue it back on.” Link

“This Akai CD3000 has a built in CD-ROM drive to load samples and a SCSI zip drive with 2 zip discs filled with custom sounds. It has 10 outputs so individual drums can be processed and recorded separately. Works perfect except the backlight on the screen. ” Link

“This is an Akai CD3000i Rack Sampler in EXCELLENT condition!

Cosmetically, only a few very light scuffs.

Fucntionally flawless in our testing.” Link

“I shan’t bore you with all the specs, if you’re bidding for this you know what it is and what it does (or Google it for full spec). I’ve specifically included a picture of the display as I gather many of these older models suffer from ‘screen burnout’, this one as you can see is absolutely fine. It is in great condition and has hardly been moved since being installed in 1998 (when I paid the agonising sum of £1800 for it aaargh) still I’ve had great use out of it… It has the full FX board installed and with a full complement of ins and outs (see picture) can be used as an FX unit in its own right. I have all the original manuals and can include the original sample cd’s that came with it if you wish, also with original power lead.
It has 8mb of memory (standard factory fit) but can be expanded I gather.” Link

“Biete hier meinen AKAI CD 3000 i Sampler mit CD-Rom Laufwerk, Floppy, 50pol Centronics SCSI-Anschluss onBoard, Anleitung auf Englisch als pdf-Datei an.
Das Gerät befindet sich in einem guten Zustand, Display ist in voller Ordnung und gut lesbar.

Der Sampler hat eine maximale RAM Erweiterung auf 16 MB, eine I/O-Erweiterung mit 10 Outputs und einem regelbaren Stereo-Input.

Man kann Samples direkt von einer CD, CD-Rom einspielen bzw. rausschneiden oder die kompletten fertigen Bibliotheken mit vorgefertigten Instrumenten und Samples von der AKAI Pro Webseite runterladen, mittels Floppy oder SCSI-Speichermedien abspeichern um weiter am PC zu bearbeiten.
Das gerät funktioniert tadellos und ist in einem sehr gepflegten optischen Zustand, stammt aus einem nichtraucher-Studio. ” Link

“For auction is a Akai CD3000i. This came out of my Uncle’s recording studio who passed away. It powers on, and was actively used in his recording setup, so as far as we know it works.” Link

” AKAI CD3000I DIGITAL SAMPLER. A FEW YEARS OLD, GREAT, VERSATILE SAMPLER, LETS YOU SAMPLE FROM ANY CD. YOU CAN THEN TRIGGER THE SAMPLE BY MIDI AND ASSIGN IT TO ONE OF ITS MANY OUTPUTS FOR EFFECTS PROCESSING /MIXDOWN. THE SAMPLER HAS A BACKLIT CONTRAST DISPLAY PANEL,SCSCI PORT, AND IS FULLY FUNCTIONAL. IT HAS THE ODD MARK HERE AND THERE, AND A COUPLE OF SCRATCHES TO THE FRONT OF THE UNIT WHERE IT’S BEN RACKMOUNTED… THEY ARE MINOR, BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD MENTION THEM.” Link

“I’m selling my Akai CD3000i inc manuals and an array of sample CD-Roms.

This comes with 32mb of RAM and has the SCCI card to enable connection to other drives for storage.

The unit is in near perfect condition other then the left jack input at the back has a cracked casing. The backlight is as bright as the day i bought it.

Like it’s younger model the S1000, the CD3000i has a greater array of functions such as built in DSPs and filters.

There’s not much to add that isn’t already know about the Akai range of samplers and it’s agreed the earlier models even the S950 have a sound of their own!!!!.” Link

“Akai CD3000i. 100% functional. Has lived in a rack all of its life and is clean. I just took it out of commission. I will include the hard drive with the unit. I never used the drive but it will work and you can replace the internal drive because this one is only 160 mb. I am selling because I am in the box with my samplers and synths. Need I say more” Link

“Biete hier einen Akai CD3000i Sampler mit 16MB Speicher. Der Sampler funktioniert super, ausser dem internen CD-Laufwerk. Deswegen lege ich auch gleich ein externes CD-Laufwerk und SCSI Kabel dazu. Da ist auch schon eine sehr gute Sample CD (Analog Dreams XXL) im Laufwerk. Es kann also gleich losgelegt werden – es muss nichts eingestllt werden. Sampler und externes CD-Laufwerk einschalten und los gehts! Beide Netzkabel sind auch dabei.

Here’s an Akai CD3000i sampler with 16MB memory. The Akai works fine, except for the internal cd drive. That’s why I include an external cd drive with the scsi cable. A great sample cd (analog dreams xxl) is inside the external cd drive already. Turn the sampler on, turn the cd drive on and there you go! ” Link

AKAI CD 3000i Sampler” Link

” “This is quite a rareity, an old AKAI 3000i with the CD player for importing of sound files.
Do not underestimate the value of these old units, if you want crisp, vibey, present drums then you’ll love these. Software synth versions do NOT compare.

It might help if your familiar with AKAI OS of course. We have no manual included, though you can download for free from internet sites.

This one comes with SCSI board, 8 individual outputs and stereo pair. OS is Version 2 and has 8 M-Words fitted – which is talk for memory we think 8MBs??? Correct us if we are wrong.
Condition is quite typical for an old AKAI, front fascia is pretty clean but rack rash and various markings throughout.
All buttons work as they should, screen not super bright but still back lit and legible. * CD tray isn’t opening. All other functions working fine.” Link

“Biete hier einen Akai CD3000i Sampler mit 16MB eingebautem Speicher. Der Sampler ist technisch in Ordnung, ausser dem internen CD-Laufwerk. Deswegen gebe ich ein externes CD-Laufwerk mit SCSI Kabel dazu. Dieses funktioniert einwandfrei mit dem Sampler. Das interne CD-Laufwerk reagiert nicht. Es lässt sich also nicht öffnen. Kann man natürlich auch gegen ein anderes austauschen. Ein Betriebsystem ist auch drauf. das Display ist noch ziemlich hell und kann sehr gut abgelesen werden. Also nochmal zur Sicherheit: Der Sampler funktioniert, ausser dem defekten internen CD-Laufwerk. deswegen gebe ich ein funktionierendes externes CD-Laufwerk dazu.

Here’s an Akai CD3000i sampler with 16MB ram memory built in. The sampler works fine, except for the faulty internal cd-drive. The internal cd drive does not work. That’s why I include a working external cd-drive with the scsi cable. The external cd-drive works flawless. ” Link

” CD tray isn’t opening. All other functions working fine.” Link

“You are bidding on an Akai CD3000i professional midi digital sampler in good condition.

I bought it a few years ago thinking I would “get into sampling”. I didn’t, so can’t state it is fully functioning because I don’t know how to operate it. However all the lights come on in a sensible way when it is powered up and the screen doesn’t report any errors.

Included with the sampler is an Iomega Zip 100 and SCSI cable to connect it to the sampler, plus 24 discs for the drive. As far as I can tell, they all work perfectly.

Looking at the back panel, this sampler has 10 analogue outputs of which 2 are a stereo output, an analogue stereo input with record gain adjustment. It also has connections for a foot switch, headphones and Midi In, Out and Thru.

Also included is a slightly dog eared, but complete operator’s manual for the CD3000.” Link

No configuration listed, but based on the internal pictures, there 4 slots for Akai RAM are populated making this either have 8MB of RAM or 32MB of RAM.

“You are bidding on an Akai CD3000i professional midi digital sampler in great condition. This is a rare Akai sampler and is capable of reading Akai CD roms, sampling directly from CD and sampling via its analogue inputs.

This has only had studio use and is in 100% full working order. The LCD display has recently been replaced and is bright and clear. The casing has a few small marks from rack mounting (to be expected on a machine of its age) … and all the buttons and knobs work perfectly.

This sampler has 10 outputs, A stereo input, 32 voices and is 16 part multitimbral. It has been upgraded to the full 16mb sampling memory (8MB words) and has midi and SCSI interfaces. It also has great filters, time stretching and an internal multi FX unit.

I am bundling all my extras with the sampler to give the winner a full akai sampling workstation. With the CD3000i you will get the following….

- Iomega 2g Jaz drive in excellent condition and full working order (with PSU)
- Iomega Carry case and USB ‘traveller’ cable
- 2 X Iomega 1GB Jaz discs
- Brand new Traxdata SCSI hard drive enclosure
- IBM 4GB SCSI hard drive (working)
- Wizoo FM synth sample CD Rom
- Philips SCSI CD writer in Traxdata case.
- Extra long scsi cable for Jaz Drive. (new)
- Scsi terminator” Link
