Akai S-1100 Sampler in 8U Flight Case
Posted by admin | Under S1100 Wednesday Dec 23, 2009
“An early 90′s Akai S1100, with extra jazz/floppy & cd-rom drives, all housed in an 8u flight case.
Basically, this was bought by my band with the intention of using live to recreate synth sounds we were using on records, none of us being massive fans of the ‘stage laptop’. Unfortunately, we never got around to using it. It didn’t come with a manual, and I couldn’t work out how to save my stuff on there once I’d recorded it in, I am not sure if this is a fault or I’m just dumb, probably the latter. With gigs looming we stuck with exs on logic and this thing has sat in my room for a year, untouched & untested.
I know some people on the internet really rave about the compression on these things and use them for that nice crunchy drum sounds, so buy it now before it becomes classic!
This thing is crazily heavy, in its case it easily rivals a bass combo in terms of weight. So, it has to be pick up only. I’m based in Taunton, Somerset but I am travelling around a bit in the next couple of weeks, so if you’re interested get in touch and hopefully we can work something out.” Link
