"Classic 12 bit sampler (upgraded version of Akai S612) Has a much nicer sound than S900/S950 i suspect simpler 12 bit circuitry and better D/A and A/D n the S612/S7000 makes all the difference...

For my money, however, it's when you reduce the bandwidth to something less than, say, 6.3kHz and sample a drum loop that the S700 really comes into its own. Bass drums pulse and thump, hi-hat is reduced to a dull tick, and snares become crunchy explosions of something like white noise. Suddenly even the most uninspiring loops from sterile 'session drummer' sample CDs can be transformed into the kind of grainy, lo-fi breakbeats that would make many a hip hop producer proud. Magical.'"
