• "The SSS-12 is probably the best hardwood sequencer to ever be put on water. An incredible machine, It stores and plays the last 12 hours of river samples. Custom circuits convert the saltiness of each sample into pitch, the more salt the higher the pitch, giving a sonic impression of the tidal cycle. With its wooden conveyor belt the SSS-12 automatically updates every hour so you always get to hear the last 12 hours of tidal activity."

    Wonderful.

Akai S3000XL sampler for sale

04 September 2005

Let’s take a long shot: is anyone interested in buying an Akai S3000XL sampler in pretty good condition? It’s expanded with a full 32mb of memory, it has the customary 8 outs, and I’ll also throw in a SCSI 100mb Zip Drive and an untested SCSI CD drive. I’ve also got the latest OS disk for it, and a full manual. The screen is in fairly good condition – not like it was when new, but not in need of a new backlight yet.

If you’re interested, email me. Ideally, London area. Will update with pictures soon.
