“Up for auction is a Akai S1000 HD Sampler. This is a classic piece of digital history and in wonderful condition. It has lived in a smoke free high end studio it’s whole life and never toured. As seen in the pics there isn’t any rack screw marks or rash on this unit. I have fully tested it and everything works perfectly. The HD version adds a hard drive. Paired with this unit is the Optical Media CDP-2A CD rom drive. Includes 170 floppy disks containing sounds from Akai, Prosonus and others. Also includes the Owners manual scsi cable and power cord. As with all of these units the LCD display is fading but easily replaced.” Link

“I don’t know much about the history of this unit, as I just rescued it from going to the dump. It’s been in storage in a neighbour’s loft for some years. I’ve cleaned it up as best I can, but as you can see from the photos, the case and XLR input sockets have suffered a little from the cold and damp up there. I had a quick look inside, and it was dusty, but there was no major signs of corrosion.
I’m limited in the testing I can do, but I have managed to discover that it does power up. The screen backlight seems to have become very dim, or perhaps died completely. A quick Google reveals a replacement should be easily available, and not too tricky to fit. The Option button seems to have stopped working. The floppy disk drive does seem to be working, however, as I was able to load some old S900 samples. Unfortunately, the output from the headphone and main audio out is just digital noise, so there’s something wrong somewhere in the guts of the beast, possibly with the DAC hardware, but I’m guessing, as I’m not an electronic engineer.
If you already have one of these, and want another for spares, or you’re looking for a repair project, this would be perfect for you. This was a classic machine when it was released, and was the ‘industry standard’ sampler for many years.
No box, manual, or disks, but will be securely packed. It’s quite heavy, so I’ll post it standard parcels, to save costs, unless you’re in a hurry.” Link

“Hallo!
Ich verkaufe nun einen AKAI S1000 Sampler. Das Gerät funktioniert. Super cooler oldschool-sound!
Das Poti für die Anzeige hat einen leichten Wackler, funktioniert jedoch. Die Anzeige ist über die Jahre etwas verblasst, funktioniert jedoch auch.
Das Gerät hat somit auch optisch schon ein paar Jahre auf dem Buckel, jedoch funktioniert es. Zum Test habe ich ein Stück aufgenommen und abgespielt.
Das Diskettenlaufwerk funktioniert ebenfalls.” Link
“I have no clue how to use this thing or what’s normal for it, and to be honest, I don’t want to learn!
Powers up, but plugged into a guitar amp, I can’t get it to play anything…it makes a high pitched whine, that’s all I can get out of it, maybe because there’s no floppy disc, I don’t know.
I read that these are prone to the backlit screen becoming unreadable, thas one’s definitely readable, maybe a little light, I don’t know what’s normal for these. I’m selling it as for parts/not working to be of the safe side, but for all I know it may actually work.
Serial number 50225-01029. Late 1980s? Made in Japan.
Good cosmetic condition, a few relatively minor scratches and dings, nothing major or ugly…about a7.3 on a scale of 10. Looks quite nice for being over twenty years old.
No cables included. Uses a standard computer type power cord.” Link

“My wife, no longer amused with my starting, stopping, starting, & stopping to build a complete multi-media/rehearsal/ recording studio and wanting to reclaim our large spare room, has strongly suggested that I abandon my efforts. So, everything must go. Be sure to check out my other auctions. There is NO RESERVE on any of them.
I won’t go in to the specs because if you came looking, then you’re already aware of the AWESOMENESS of this sampler and the fact that it was the trailblazer of its’ day. The Akai S1000 is the only sampler I have ever used and I’ve been using them since the late 80’s. I recently replaced the backlight on this one because the original one was barely readable. I rushed the job though, as you can see by the close-up screen pic, the last line has a blank line through it but you can still make out what it says though. Other than that, the screen looks beautiful, especially compared to the way it used to look. I will be including the rack ears, power cord, the original backlight, and the instructions for installing the backlight just in case you may want to try re-installing the current backlight. You may be able to get rid of the blank line if you don’t rush the job like I did.” Link

“Akai S1000HD sampler
Previously owned by Carter USM!
Vintage sampler, in very good and fully working condition.
This is the HD model featuring an internal hard drive, and the operating system is V4.4.
Cosmetically it’s in good nick considering its age, obviously used, with the odd scuff, scratch and minor chip. Oh, and someone’s written “7″ on the Select/Prog button.
The display is clear, with some very light and minor surface scratches.
Back in 2002, Fruitbat from Carter USM auctioned this off, which the band had used on several tracks back in the early 90s. I was the lucky winning bidder of said item.
It’s a real industrial workhorse of a thing – the Akai S1000 range was pretty much industry standard for years, and are still used in many studio set-ups by several big names.
Well, with a heavy heart, the time has come to say goodbye to it.
If memory serves, on the internal hard drive there’s a ton of samples that the band used on 101 Damnations and 30 Something-era tracks.
It’s been well-stored and not exactly heavily used since buying it. When he was selling it, Fruitbat noted that the LCD display wasn’t the brightest, which is a common issue with these as they age. I’m pleased to say this hasn’t deteriorated since I got hold of it, it’s still pretty clear when the contrast is right up, but if it ever got to the stage of needing attention, ” Link

“AKAI S1000HD Midi Sampler
Classic unit still preferred by many fans!
The S1000 was among the first professional-quality 16-bit stereo samplers. Its abilities to splice, crossfade, trim, and loop music in 16-bit CD-quality sound made it popular among producers.
The S1000 also has the ability to “time-stretch”, a feature that allowed the music’s tempo to be adjusted without its pitch being altered.” Link
