“Up for auction is my venerable Akai S3000 Sampler. It is fully loaded (32 megs of memory), complete with the original box and manual. The Led is very bright and overall it is in excellent working condition (though there may be one or two tempermental buttons that need an extra push now and then). In my opinion, the original s3000 and s3200 (not the xl series) are the best sounding of all the Akai samplers as they are cleaner and punchier than the earlier models and not as sterile as the 5000/6000 and Z series. It is also the most user friendly of all the major samplers which, in addition to its exceptional sound is the reason Akai has dominated the hardware sampling market for the last 20 years. I am including a small floppy disc library with some very cool drums, percussion, a few loops, keys and bells. The 50 pin SCII port will allow you to use any external drives such as a JAZZ, hard drive, zip, MO, etc. for larger storage and faster loading.” Link

“This Auction is for a Akai S3000 Sampler. I haven’t used it for a while so have decided to move it on. It has 8 outputs and has a nice bright backlight (most dont!).” Link

“Up for sale here is my AKAI S3000, a classic studio staple found in every commercial studio in the 90s. The screen works fine, and the unit is fully functional. I’m not sure of the spec as I bought this second hand from a studio clearance 5 years ago for £200. It has been well used over the years but is fully functional. I don’t have any manuals etc but they are easily available online.” Link

“I’m selling this AKAI S3000 Digital Sampler / Synthesiser due to lack of space. It’s served me well over the years, has a lovely grainy sound and is fully MIDI compatible so can be linked with modern software DAWs with a MIDI interface. It’s a must for a collector of audio equipment or any musicians looking for a retro sound – it includes synth style samples that can be mixed and a built in filter and LFO system.

This particular unit has a SCSI card installed and 8Mword (16MB) of RAM.

The only problems with it are a few of the number keys are broken (4, 1, 0, + and -). These can be replaced and the parts can be bought from other sellers on ebay. Other than that the unit works perfectly!

I purchased the unit from the University of Hertfordshire when they upgraded their studio equipment in 2008, so it has a security mark to that effect. Other than that there is no cosmetic damage.

I’m including a pack of floppy disks and a kettle plug. ” Link

“Akai S3000 not the XL version but the original. Excellent condition.

The sound is exactly the same as an MPC 3000, rich, warm and punchy. Great for hip hop or any electronic music.

Comes with manual, power cord, 8mb of ram (can be upgraded to 32mb), scsi board, adat board and the original box and packaging. It also has a new back light installed. Everything works great! Not sure what exact shipping costs will be, but buyer will only pay exact shipping charges. This machine is fully functional but due to it’s age it is being sold as is, returns will not be accepted.” Link

“akai s3000 rack sampler 3u 8mb ram (standard) 8 ouputs 2 owners home studio use only if you are looking for one of theese chances are you already know what they do (: more info here http://www.vintagesynth.com/akai/s3000.php

the unit has slight marks but no real damage apart from the enter/play button being a little wobbly/loose from use.. comes with manual rack ears few samples pre loaded i have no idea where the original box has gone but will come well packed the only thing that worries me is the weight of this machine in the post (13kgs) hence the postage being £24.97 its a big toy but the buyer can collect from the birmingham area if they wish to

reason for sale too many hardware samplers” Link

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

“Sie bieten hier auf einen gebrauchten Sampler von Akai, Modell S3000 mit externer SCSI-Festplatte (88MB) und CD-ROM Laufwerk sowie Verkabelung.

Das Gerät befindet sich in einwandfreiem technischen Zustand mit leichten Gebrauchsspuren, es handelt sich um ein Studiogerät. Die Displaybeleuchtung wurde erst vor kurzem erneuert (gängiges Problem bei Akai Samplern dieser Baureihe).” Link

“This is a used IB-304F, known as a ProFilter, 24db Filter Board for Akai Samplers (S2000,S3000,S3200,S3000XL,CD3000XL). When installed, this board adds a low pass, high bass and band pass filter, and some additional EQ settings. In addition to the filtering, this board also allows direct to disk recording to a hard disk. This board adds a LOT of depth to the filters.

This has been pulled from my Akai S3000xl sampler, which has only been used in a smoke free environment, and has only had very light use over the years.” Link

“Used but in perfect working order AKAI S3000 Sampler

Its a shame to see it go but as I no longer use it it is more use to an active retro studio producer – an essential part of a retro home studio set up” Link

“Up for auction is an Akai S3000. It has been tested and is in great conditon. As you can see in the pics there are some scratches here and there but nothing you wouldn’t expect from a vintage sampler like this. It comes with the 12 M Words (24mb RAM) option, 8 outs, D I/O AES/EBU option and the SCSI option. I’ve included both internal and external pics of the options.” Link

“AKAI S3000i comes with manual and fully working. Note: The display backlight is extremely dim, but the display characters function as normal. The backlight is a cheap replaceable part and can be repaired easily if you do it yourself. Information on the net if you search.” Link

“Leider hat es mit dem Käufer bei der letzten Auktion nicht geklappt, weil dieser nicht mehr angemeldetes Mitglied war!
Das soll mal einer verstehen!
Hier nun die der 2. Versuch.

Ich kenne mich mit solchen Geräten wirklich nicht aus.
Nur soviel: Er hat 24MB Ramspeicher und scheint zu funktionieren.
Sein äußerer Zustand würde ich als gut bezeichnen.
Alle Tasten und Regler funktionieren.
Außerdem kann man noch einige Hardwareteile z.B. Festplatte und diverse Karten einbauen.” Link

“This example is in good condition, wear in keeping with vintage and would be a superb buy for someone who can appreciate the first class technology here. The screen reports on boot up 13 Mwords of RAM.” Link
