via this auction"Akai S612 rack mount sampler, with MD280 QD disk drive, 11 Roland "Quick Disks" and printed manual... Interesting features of these units are the manual start/splice sliders for some interesting triggered effects, on-board LFO, a light filter, and looping effect. These 12-bit samplers were among the first digital samplers on the scene in the early 80's, and while don't have a large capacity or complicated sound reproduction, lo-fi or general phrase sampling is extremely easy to record and play back. Roland Quick Disks I have provided have Roland sound samples which are not readable by the unit, however, a small piece of tape over the square holes in the corners will allow you to record your own samples to disk with no problems. Quick disks are HARD to find, these were all that were available for a while."
