The Akai S-950 is the rackmount sampler that started a revolution in sampling.
Theimportance of the S-950 in the development of modern music cannot be overstated. The inimitable low pass filter is THE sound of '90s underground hip hop.
The 12-bit stereo sampling, 7.5kHz to 40kHz variable sampling rates, and 63 seconds of sampling time allowed musicians such as Dr. Dre, Prince and pretty much every hip hop artist in the '90s to traverse new frontiers in electronic music production.
Modified with hardwired power cable. Includes rack ears. Missing Encoder knob.
