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. 👍🏾✌🏾✊🏾

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have so many questions like when you say 63 sec of sample time is that the total per sample track or total for the whole machine? I’m so confused on this. Either way it’s nothing short of amazing what these ppl did. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The whole machine bro!..A lot of limitations back then.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
