Akai S1000 - ROM waveforms and the four factory disks

The internal waveforms of the Akai S1000 and the first four disks of the Akai SL library. Reverb from the Lexicon 200.

That piano sound and reverb combo sounds so much like final fantasy (x)

[@Esperluet]

Piano sounds are qualitative❤

Brass SEC B, reminds me of Reese Project - Direct Me intro. Great hardware!

[@nicholasfaith8999]

I've used the built in waves on my s1100 and s950 on MANY sounds. also, Ran the s950's into the novation bass station rack to add weight as a sub osc.

[@Ancaja123]

the stock waveforms of this sampler are so good, but they all have this weird aliasing clipping sound on the attack, can never even really get it to come out even with filters/envelopes... especially noticable on the sine when you have long releases and a lot of tones going on, but also on saw and other waves

4:40 Sunsoft Bass!😄

[@psynapsurfa]

i would like to hear these dry, because i am worried that the stunning 200 verb has flavoured them a little to tasty!!! man i covet the reverb!

I guess it is kind of randomly asking but do anyone know of a good website to watch newly released tv shows online ?

[@maximilianrudy8231]

@Jase Lucian i watch on FlixZone. Just search on google for it =)

[@1div2PIfc]

Are the sawtooth/square/pulse internal waveforms bandlimited? Did they generate more than one waveform sample across the keyboard range? That's how the Korg DSS-1 did it, one waveform per octave with each one increasingly bandlimited to avoid aliasing as you went higher up the keyboard range..

[@0e0]

no..but the interpolation is very nice. much nicer than other samplers

[@JayOneAlumni]

id like to know where i can get these sounds and more in this sample format online

[@dave24-73]

Internet archive search Akai Sample And CDXtract to convert to other formats.

03 "Vogue" intro?

[@glenesis]

Thanks Paolo! I'm hoping to snag one of these at some point. I just learned of the factory ROM waveforms from Espen Kraft's new video. Tho I had used an s1000 extensively in the 90s, until today, I had no idea there are ROM sounds! I'm not surprise$ that you've already demo'd them. Do you know if the later models include these waves? Like the s2000, s3000 series, s5000/6000?

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Very welcome! Yes, typically they have them in ROM as "test" waves

[@glenesis]

@@SynthManiaDotCom Thank you 🙏

[@placesinmemory7284]

Hey Synthmania! Great vid as usual! Just wanted to ask if it makes any difference to have velocity and aftertouch with the S1000, or does it predate that technology? Cheers!

[@mck-gr]

Nice demo and sounds!!! Is it possible to send them to me? Thanks

[@gts1067]

do you have any releases i can purchase? or a soundcloud or something? somewhere i can download these things

[@vason2]

thank your test !!!

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Thank you for watching

[@louisoppenheimer6618]

Is there a way to still get these four disks I recently got an s1000 from a studio but they had thrown out all of the sample disks

[@louismarcell]

i Agree this would be great any info please !

[@alexthurman2047]

+Louis Oppenheimer Check out Ebay. Search words "Akai S1000 floppy disks."

[@dave24-73]

Internet archive for samples, and CDXtract to covert to other formats.

[@jalaskabtu]

Please, akai s3000 have wave forms, sounds internaly too? Or only with disks? Thanks

[@laurajohnson4086]

Nice video! Just curious, does anyone know ... Is the AKAI S5000 any better for piano sounds ?

[@alexthurman2047]

For those looking for samples for their S1000 check out Ebay. Use search words "Akai S1000 floppy disks."

[@MANTHRAX]

which Roland keyboard are you using as a controller ??

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

+MANTHRAX Roland A-800 PRO

[@louismarcell]

One

Suprisingly boring sounds form such a known sampler. It sounds very polite,warm and thats it.
