“Verkaufe Akai S 900 Sampler
Legendärer 12bit Sampler mit 8 Einzelausgängen, rel. neuem Diskettenlaufwerk. Das Display und die Hintergrundbeleuchtung funktioniert, samplen funktioniert. Der Kontrastregler fehlt, das Diskettenlaufwerk ist scheinbar nicht original, funktioniert aber, der Vorbesitzer hat mir gesagt das es neu eingebaut wurde, ich habe nicht alle Éinzelausgänge ausprobiert.
Ich verkaufe den Sampler als defekt weil ich nicht weiß ob das Gerät 100% in Ordnung ist, habe den Sampler selten verwendet.
Bitte nur bieten wenn Ihr euch darüber im Klaren seit.” Link

“Akai S900 Studio-Sampler

Hallo zusammen,

ich biete hier einen S900 Studiosampler von AKAI an.

Der Sampler ist gut erhalten und voll funktionsfähig.

Lediglich die Displaybeleuchtung geht nicht mehr. Es lässt sich aber auch ohne die Beleuchtung damit arbeiten. Das Display an sich ist funktionstüchtig.” Link

“Here we have an Akai S900 12 bit sampler. It’s been well used but still works perfectly;

Bad Bits :

It looks rough as it’s been well used. Someone has drawn a smiley face onto the data entry wheel for some unknown reason. It has the usual rack rash on the ears.
The upper volume pot is missing, it still works fine, but the plastic pot has gone, a replacement would only be a couple of quid tops!
The back light on the display has gone, which means it’s fine for use in studio but it can be a pain to read on stage.
It weighs a tonne so shipping is expensive.

Good Bits :

Well it works perfectly.
Classic 12 bit sampling. I used it for techno drum loops and effects but apparently it’s a classic for Hip Hop, if that’s your thing.
It has a total of Eleven outputs in total!
8 Analogue inputs, MIDI I/O/T and an RS232 port, I think this was an interface for hooking it up to a computer before SCSI and USB etc.
Built like a tank, hence it being used so heavily but still working fine.
It’s gonna be a damn sight cheaper than an MPC or higher model S series sampler.” Link

Additional photos in the listing show the ASK-90 Expansion Board installed.

” PHYSICAL CONDITION- Good. The outer casing shows various nicks and scuffs from use, as well as some wear around the rack holes. However, the unit is overall very solid and sturdy.” Link

“FOR AUCTION IS MY AKAI S900 SAMPLER.
CRACKED SCREEN
I CRACKED THE SCREEN WHEN I MOVED. THIS WORKS 100% MINUS SCREEN.
It does require that you know how to use. I can’t find manual.
Hate to see her go but if you have a screen to replace in it, it’s yours.” Link

“Up for auction is a very nice Vintage Akai S900 Drum machine sampler. They dont make anything that can produce these sounds any more. The unit is in good condtion, however the back light is out. I purchase a 40 x 2 Blue Back lit LCD, but never got around to installing it. There are some web sites out there that can help you install it if you look. The nice think about the new LCD is it’s quite, not unlike the film with makes some noise.” Link

“This is a listing for one of the greatest samplers ever made: the Akai S900. It has that vintage, analog sound and can give deep booming bass and crunch to drum, synth, instrument, sound fx, or vocal sounds. Comes with startup disc with latest OS. Also comes with about 50 floppy disks (clearly tagged) formatted especially for the Akai S900, with synth (Moog Minimoog, Moog Rogue, ARP, Roland Jupiter 8 and Juno 6/60/106 strings and bass, Roland SH 101 basslines and leads, Roland tb 303 / mc 202 acid sounds, orchestral instruments and every vintage drum machine you could need or want, including the Roland 808/909, the Oberheim DM/DMX, the Linndrumm, etc etc). This is a gold mine of material. Take a look at this site: http://www.kidnepro.com/KN/AKAI/Akai_s900_s950.html
If you were to buy all the sample libraries they have to offer on that site, you would pay more than this entire listing. And so many of the samples on these discs I am including were done by me on genuine analog hardware – whenever I had the chance to play some vintage piece of gear, I ALWAYS sampled it and kept the best stuff; so your samples will be unique.

And it’s much, much better to start with a sample library because figuring out how to get samples off your PC (which you probably have to do that way – unless you have a studio full of vintage analog gear that you can sample) on to the floppy is tricky at first but totally doable, it just takes some time to understand how everything works. With this listing, everything in terms of making music is ready and set to go – you don’t have to wait for anything and can make beats/synths/soundkits immediately. Plus, a lot of these sample sounds were sampled by me over the years, and include all kinds of vintage, modern, analog and digital equipment, as well as an enormous amount of drum kits and full orchestral sounds as well as strange, eerie sound effects and drones.
There will also be about 20 blank discs for you to save the samples you create if you have already maxed out the internal memory.
The monetary worth of all these floppy discs and sample libraries ALONE would be several hundred dollars easily and consequently you are SAVING A LOT OF MONEY and TIME. ” Link

Unit has a modification to the back which looks like it may be used to connect to a external HD.

“One Akai s900. The classic sampler series used by hip hop pioneers has 8 outputs and is how artists like Dj Premier of Gang Starr get that crunchy fat analog 12 bit sound. This unit is in excellent working and cosmetic condition with all buttons and functions working without a hitch. There is tons of info about these online and you can do all sorts of things with them. One thing i like is the ease of sampling a sound then pitching it up and down spread across a keyboard’s keys. Unfortunately dont have the time or space to use this unit so im selling it.” Link
