It was one of the first affordable 16 bit stereo samplers to hit the market with tons of new features that were missing from most other instruments of that era. It's 16 bit, CD quality sound and 'time stretching' feature made it one of the best selling samplers that Akai ever produced. The S1000 contained lots of advanced edit capabilities for looping, truncating, sample merging, tuning and even analog-like parameters to control its filters and envelopes. The original units shipped with only 2 megs of RAM, but you could expand it to a whopping 32 Megs via the memory expanders that were available from Akai and third party companies.

Speaking of third party companies. Omron Zen Software Update. With the ability to add a SCSI port to the S1000 (which let you connect a CD-ROM drive to it), a whole host of sound companies started to pop up and create new sounds for the S1000. Literally thousands of CD's were released during the 90's from hundreds of different companies making the S1000 the most popular instrument ever to create sounds for.

So popular in fact that the S1000/S3000 formats are considered a 'universal format' and can be read by just about any hardware or software sampler released over the past twenty years. The S-Series was expanded over a eleven year period from 1988 to 1999 with a whole host of 'S' samplers. They even produced a little known keyboard version S1000-KB which featured a 61-note keyboard with velocity and aftertouch sensitivity and room for an 80MB hard disk.
