"Here are some technical highlights [via synthmuseum.com]:
"Realization of super-high-quality sound by 12-bit sampling technology.
6-voice polyphonic performance is possible in connection with MIDI keyboards, synthesizers, sequencers and many others.
Realization of sampling time up to 8 seconds (@ 4 kHz, 1 second @ 32 kHz).
A short sampled sound can be continuously played with no time restrictions and without sounding awkward. The S612 contains an advanced scanning mode system with 'looping' and 'alternating' modes. [This mode plays continuously through the sample, alternately playing it frontwards and then backwards]
The best splicing point for 'looping' can be selected instantly by the automatic splicing system.
A splicing point can be selected at any time by switching to the manual splice mode.
Because the starting or ending point of the sample can be selected at any time, it is possible to play the sound after elimination of an undesired portion of the sample. It is also possible to reproduce the sample in reverse.
It is possible to overdub samples and accumulate various sounds infinitely.
The S612 is equipped with an LFO (sine wave only), which can add vibrato effects with a delay.
The S612 is also equipped with continuous variable-pass low-pass filters for adding a milder touch to samples.
Any type of sound can be tuned to a designated pitch by transposing it by a half step. This can also be done by tuning +/- 100 cent. The sound can then be stored on disk.
The S612 is rack mountable (EIA/2U) for excellent operation in the studio as well as at live performances. It can be handled with ease and offers astonishing performance."
The Akai S612 (along with most of Akai's sampler technology) was designed by David Cockerell, formerly with EMS and Electro-Harmonix. He joined Akai in 1985 when Electro-Harmonix went under. While at EH, he had been working with digital effects processors including digital delays. He designed a digital delay machine that could capture a sound/sample which could be triggered. He developed this technology into a one-shot sampler. When he went over to Akai, this became the S612. David still leads Akai's London Research and Development team.

"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...

see review soundonsound.com/sos/mar01/articles/retroakais700.asp

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.'"

"Seeing as there aren't a lot of S-1100 videos on youtube, thought I might ass well add something... All just from the stereo out of the sampler and using it's lush internal FX
