This is independent of gain, volume settings. In this situation samples need some headroom. It tires to reproduce lost tones! Signal is just interpolated beyond 16bit scale and it clips. Now i know why, because of its unique interpolation! I wondered why it badly clips hi-tone samples with low frequency when they are maxed… How i noticed this? I loaded some old lofi snares, hihats samples with maxed level, and i noticed unnatural high clipping. When you play distorted sample (saturated, squashed or clipped ) this interpolation tires to reproduce lost signal! It produces even more hi-tones from lo-fi saturated sample. This was very expensive, so because of economy reasons this was the last sampler with such beautiful sound. This eight-point windowed sinc interpolation needs cpu power, that’s why s1000 have only 16 channels of audio and needs more huge expanders like this: Next Akai units, like s3000 use simple linear interpolation and samples, especially with lower frequency than native (44,1khz) sounds dull, and you get stronger antialiasing.

It’s ‘eight-point windowed sinc interpolation’ Only s1000 and s1100 samplers use this method. I wondered what secret is behind this sampler, and i ask uncle google what special this piece of old hardware has.Īfter many hours of browsing and reading i got the answer. This sampler still amazes me :) I was preparing library of old-skool 8bit samples from fairlight cmi, amiga, atari etc and i just can’t believe how these old 10-20khz samples are beautiful played on this sampler! When comparing sound from computer programs to this beast, difference is huge!
#AKAI S1000 SAMPLE LIBRARY HOW TO#
I just found similar tutorial how to put cf inside akai s1100 at Mike Bass Page: Restart computer and boot from disk, and run by typing os exe file name. Next unzip akai os exe file, move to boot disk. Save it to blank floppy by executing downloaded file.

First of all download win 98 boot disk from. But i have few instruction how to save it on floppy. It works only with old DOS system, it won’t work on windows. You can write it to floppy disk only if you have internal floppy drive.

Digital output, fx unit, scsi ports are onboard. If you want to get S1000, buy S1100 instead. Unfortunately midi implementation is very limited, there is no resonance and it has only 16 voices of polyphony. It has good fx board based on motorola dsp 56000 chip. This is my favorite sampler because it has very good, bright, clear sound and very nice 18db filter.
