1992, the S1100 stepped it up to date from the older S1000, with 24 bit internal processing, SCSI as standard, a digital effects board, an AES/EBU digital output, a SMPTE interface, direct to h/d recording etc etc.. (see chart)..
Both the 1100 & the 1000 became a hit unit used by countless studio's and artists... reliable samplers with good versatility & tons of Cd-roms & samples available via Akai & 3rd party sound designers... Superceded by the Later 3000 Units and then the newer simms based Akai's (3000xl,32000xl,2000,01) - the S1000/1100 are going for a song now, and are worth a look AS LONG AS THE MEMORY IS FULLY EXPANDED....or there is enuff memory on-board for your needs.... The sample-ram boards are still available, but they are like 300 quid in England.... 8 poly outs & stereo in/out on balanced XLR's or 1/4" unbalanced - a good solid pro sampler of it's age still well relevant........
