Definitely a trip down memory lane. I’m an old head I.T. Pro, and as you described your Napster experience I lived it from day one. I advanced to Megaupload, and other programs to start getting whole LPs. It got so bad, I was downloading 2-300 albums a day. It was crazy, but I kept it on the low. I never got to own an S950, but definitely was influenced by its usage. I went the E-MU ESI4000 route when the time came. I may eventually get one just out of respect for its legendary impact. These pieces are increasingly hard to find these days for reasonable prices. But, there’s no denying that sound. Keep em coming bruh. 👍🏾✌🏾✊🏾

Hands down that late '80s & a majority of the 90's golden era of Boom Bap Hip Hop was the sound of the 950 acomnpanied by the E-MU SP1200. What made the 950 so special was its dope bottom-heavy 12 bit sound that hasn't been matched to this day making it still one of the sought-after samplers. Even though a 950 plugin came out a few years ago it doesnt come close to the original.

[@DyReckProductions]

I feel you.

[@squeakD]

Love the Turtles lunchbox! I still have my Gobots lunchbox from 1984 with thermos. It was never used! I had an aunt like Ralphie’s from “A Christmas Story”, who thought I was 5 years younger than I really was ;-) Akai was hit’n it back in the 80’s. Hell…, I remember seeing one of their early samplers in the music department at one of our local Colleges back in the 80’s when we were on a field trip there, and I specifically remember the music professor saying “Sampling is going to change the music industry”.

My first sampler was an ESI2000 by E-MU. I still have it stored away. My first Akai sampler was an S3200XL, a big step up from the S950. However, the S950 and all samplers of that era definitely have me intrigued and I would like to play around with one of them to experiment and see what I can do to an 808 after sampling it in, or a drumloop after sampling it in. I bet the results would be different from anything I have previously experienced from the more modern samplers that came much later.

[@DyReckProductions]

I’ve had 3 900s now. Bought the first one in 96 for $500. Everything worked. Used it for several years til it just started shutting off on its own. Had to wait for awhile til it came back on. Bought another on eBay for $100 in 2005 maybe. Screen didn’t work but it definitely powered on. Tried fixing it with my limited electronic ability and messed up and had to toss it. Got another one last year and put in a new screen and usb drive. Had to use some parts from the previous one to get to work as some capacitors were damaged. But now I have a fully functional 900 again. Simply a great piece of gear.

It's so weird sometimes thinking about how some gear became legendary... knowing there was a time people were looking at people still using stuff like a SP1200 or S950 or MPC 60 or a 3000 like they were crazy. There was a point where these things were looked at like they were Rotary phones and everybody was trying to get rid of them on the cheap for the latest and greatest cept for the Studio Pro's they just kept using what worked for them and made hits with the old gear and made these things legendary. Go back like 15 nah not even go back like 10 years ago and no one cared about any of this stuff. People were trying to ditch these joints on Ebay all day. I remember back in like 2015 you could still grab a SP1200 for like $1,500 and even then that was steep. I still look at some of this old gear like the old turds they are. Those old machines were a PITA to use. Zip disk and f'd up floppys eating your beats. The crashing and the freezing mid project..long ass sample conversion times. Clunky loud buttons... This stuff the Model T Ford of beat making. I'd love to be in the room when one of those guys drops like 10Grand on a SP1200 just to get it home and realize it sucks and all the dope isht you know it for doing was actually a work around some producer came up with to make it not suck even though it still sucked.

[@DyReckProductions]

Lmao!..Yeah some of the old pieces did have work arounds you had to do..You have to be careful spending too much on the old gear. Make sure you know why your getting it.

​@@DyReckProductions haha man you know it's true... everybody that was there in those times knows the truth. Hauling a big ass box of of "Those 3.5 Disk" and have like 50 Disk in there and they were just for like one beat. Or running around looking for a damn SCSI cable no one on earth had not even Akai. Have you ever actually seen anyone use the SCSI port on those O.G. MPCs pre internet? JDilla probably couldn't even find a SCSI cable to use. I even remember when Akai sold "ZipDisk" upgrade kits for the MPC. 100mb of storage! I remember it well because I was first in line to order one and also first in line when I lost 100mb worth of beats and samples when that Zipdrive clickity clacked to death.We all know making beats with that O.G. gear was Russian roulette. There's a 50% chance you might finish a beat and a 50% chance you might lose it. Everybody has one of them stories.

I've had a lot of gear, but this is the sampler I've held on to the longest. Bought it back in 2007 for $200 when people were giving this type of stuff away. I mostly used it to process samples and run it through other samplers cause the filter and character at the different sample rates is so good, but later on got to know it better. Setting it up to an MP or an SP with MIDI is dumb easy, you can see why so many people used it. The floppy drive is a downside but there are ways around that nowadays. I would argue that this machine defines the sound of late 80's/early 90's hip hop.

Bought a S-612 for $100 recently.

[@DyReckProductions]

[@saren6538]

I’m after one of them .. I recently bought a mirage rack mint $280

@@saren6538 Nice!

Goes to show you that most of these anti-MPC SP1200 users were still on Akai's d^^^. Because they were using that SP1200 with Akai samplers. Akai was running s6^%^. Including those Ensoniq and Emu users who swear they never touched an MPC. Bow tf down to the MPC 2000 Classic. The best LEGACY MPC ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DyReckProductions]

Lol!

[@JEFFMAN90]

The MPC 2000 classic ain't ish lol. You need a damn floppy disk with the OS to make it work.

[@knowEgo]

The S950 is definitely not their most legendary Akai sampler….its between the *MPC60 or MPC3000!* The S950 might be the most infamous sampler lol

[@DyReckProductions]

Lol!

[@jonathansoko1085]

I wonder how many lables got hit with cases because of producers sampling some stevie wonder song or some major soul hit on the 950 and not telling them before they published joints and sent them to every record station in the usa lmao

[@DyReckProductions]

The trick was to flip it so no one knew where you got the sample from..If you were nice.

[@jonathansoko1085]

@@DyReckProductions Yeah we both know in the early days everyone was looping hits

[@DyReckProductions]

@@jonathansoko1085 Puffy was notorious for looping Lol.
