"The AKAI S1000KB is a 16-voice 61-note keyboard sampler with velocity and aftertouch sensitivity. This one is a rarity, and is powered at 110v."

Only one other has been featured on MATRIXSYNTH here. It's fascinating from a design perspective.  First the huge size of it.  Next the curves vs the more angular design Akai is known for.  Then you have white switches reminiscent of the Roland Jupiter-8 or SCI Prophet-5 and Oberheim OB switches, a number pad and four classic Akai metal knobs. I'm curious what the inside looks like and if all that space is needed. Fascinating piece of synth keyboard history.

  1. I bought one from new in the year...1994..or about there, and at that time it was awesome!, and its pretty "empty" inside, theres room for a HD i remember. the weight of it...phyy
    i dont have it anymore, because of the size of it, and RAM, i went to S6000 with usb, but skipped it too only because of the errors on their usbsoftware
