“An akai s2800 sampler, stock model. working well” Link

” AKAI S2800i Sampler
With Sample Disks, Phono/RCA adapters and power cable

In great condition, fully working with accesories. The SCSI Card simply needs a new fuse no other problems. The sampler itself is in lovley condition, very little wear and tear for the age. just a bit of rack rash around the mounting holes. All buttons and controlls work as intended. None stick and none are broken.

the sample disks included are a TR808 kit a TR909 kit and an Akai OS2.0 disk. ” Link

“Akai S2800 Professional Midi Stereo Digital Sampler in used but great working condition. Shows signs of use. Front panel in great condition, all knobs , buttons and features work properly. Screen seems dim but is still very viewable. Has upgraded I/O digital ports and SCSI ports. Includes sampler and cord. ” Link

“I’ve had this racked up for ~5 years but to be honest, it’s remained a rack ornament – so it’s time to go to a good home.

I purchased this to play around with sampling drums and instrument stabs. AKAI are known for the punchy sounds produced in this regard – I was one of a few friends who expanded studio setups to include sampling hardware – virtual sampling is great, but it doesn’t really 100% capture that old school sound, does it?

Am downsizing studio due to lack of space and have sold a few hardware odds and ends.

I’ve not used the AKAI, but a friend borrowed it for a project around 2 years ago. It all worked well, I was informed and I heard the fruits of his labour. Unfortunately, like all these AKAIs, the screen has dimmed since I bought it. Which really annoyed me – I was about to advertise this as a rare “Screen is still bright” find – alas, its dim but still very readable and functioning.

Fascia plate is good condition – there’s a small grey blemish on the far left and the unit has the usual rack scuffs on top. Screen is not scratched. All buttons depress well. All knobs turn and function as normal. ” Link

“Akai Sampler S 2800

Gebraucht aber insgesamt guter Zustand. Typische Gebrauchsspuren vom Rackeinbau.

Gerät war Ersatzgerät für einen anderen Akai-Sampler. Daher in den letzten 5 Jahren nicht im Live-Einsatz.

Display hat noch gute Leuchtkraft.

Keine technischen Mängel bekannt.

Ich gehe davon aus, dass als interner Speicher 2 MB (Standard) verbaut sind. Kann optional auf 16 MB aufgerüstet werden.

Softwareversion 1.5″ Link

“Verkaufe nun endlich meinen (fast historischen) AKAI 2800 Studio Sampler ! ! !
Das Modell aus den 90érn erwies mir in meinem “Musik-Bastel-Studio” wertvolle
Dienste um Loops, Sprachsamples, etc. zu samplen und auf´s Keyboard zu legen.
Das Teil hat 2 SystemUpdates, eine 8MB-Speichererweiterung UND eine zusätzliche
FESTPLATTE (!!) von mehreren MB (die ich noch nie komplett gebraucht habe).” Link

“Akai Sampler. I have hardly used it it has been sitting on floor for three years. It did work fine as I was using it to play my S1000 sample library. It is a great bit of kit as a dedicated source. No reserve.” Link

“This sampler is almost like new! It comes with the original box, all packaging and includes the original owners manual. Sell because studio is being remodeled with all new technology and this will no longer be needed” Link

“Used, working, looks nice” Link

“Auction is for [1] USED AKAI S2800 MIDI STEREO DIGITAL SAMPLER. ” Link

Much cheaper alternative for backlights if you aren’t in a rush as these ship from China.

“Unused (New) EL lamp.

Runs on by power inverter or similar device. (See also the inverter we’re selling on ebay!)

In light green when not glowing.

“Here we have a very cool vintage midi sampler – it comes in nice condition and I believe is working fully. Unfortunately the backing light has faded which is common with the models. You can still read the information but it is not well lit! Also included with this unit is a power adapter, original instructions and the box it was originally shipped in!” Link

“Akai S 2800 Sampler

This retro classic broadcast quality professional stereo digital sampler from AKAI, is still used by groups like the Prodigy. Designed and made in Japan it remains a very versatile machine with excellent dynamic range, filter and timestretch capabilities (timestretch to 2000%), as well as excellent sample / program editing functions.

This comes complete with a whole bunch of floppies with samples and the all important owner’s manual.

Everything is in full working order, and this unit is in good condition and well worth a punt for that amazing retro sound.” Link

Additional photos in the listing show the SCSI and Digital I/O boards installed.

BRAND NEW WITHOUT BOX.

NEVER USED OR RACK MOUNTED.

The only time I plugged it in and turned it on was to take pictures for this listing and to verify that it powered up.

Other than that I wouldn’t know what to do with it.

Years ago I stocked up on instruments and gear, most of which I never used and I will now sell/

Comes with the unit itself, power cord, manual and the set of 4 disks (most sellers do not have this.” Link

“You’re bidding on a AKAI S2800 Sampler.

There is NO RESERVE!

This unit is FOR HIS PARTS OR TO REPAIR.

Last time I used it screen has a backlight problem.

OTHERS PARTS OF THE SAMPLER HAVE BEEN NOT TESTED. It is sold as is. NO GARANTIE OF ANY FUNCTIONALITY.

No Cables included. No Manual.” Link

“You are bidding on an awesome S2800 Digital Sampler BOXED with MANUAL.

I bought this sampler brand new for nearly £1200 back in the day!
It is mint, has only been used in my home studio and very well looked after.” Link

The RAM upgrade is worth quite a bit more than the Buy It Now price — it’s like getting the sampler for free.

“Akai S2800i sampler, similar to S3000,

with 32Mb RAM third-party hardware upgrade , 4 audio outs, FX, SCSI and original manual.

This sampler reads EIIIX CD-ROMs over SCSI as well as older S1000-format data. It is obviously 100% compatible with S3000-series samplers.

I am selling this S2800i as I have just replaced it with an S5000.

The display on this S2800i is dim but legible so it could do with a new backlight. This is not hard or even expensive to do; I changed the backlight on my S1000 a few years ago in about 20 minutes and I am useless at this sort of thing.

The S2800i is in excellent cosmetic condition.

Slight issue: When I try to (re)name a sample/volume/programme using the letter and number keys on the front panel, the wrong characters come up! This is really not a problem as you can use the cursor wheel or keys instead to select the characters you want anyway. Everything else appears to work fine.” Link

“This S2800 Sampler has been in my studio for the last 2 years or so. It works fine and is in great condition.

As with a lot of the older samplers the screen is a little dim, but it is easily worked and produces great results. This is reflected in the price.” Link

“der akai sampler hat immer funktioniert,aber leider ist das display immer schwächer geworden.
