Worth the investment at the right price.
You can't emulate what this machine does. There was a time when memory and storage were extremely expensive, especially for an independent musician. This was one of the first "affordable" samplers that gave keyboardists and music producers a nearly unending sound palette. There isn't much sample time (up to one minute at 7kHz/12-bit. If you're looking for realism then the S900 isn't for you. The constraints make you create differently than the unlimited perfection you get with modern sample technology. If you grew up writing and recording music in the 80s, this will bring you back to when tech hurdles were an ignition to creativity with plenty of buttons, menus, and knobs. If you didn't exist in the 80s, this is your chance to submerse yourself in the old way of getting things done: slow and thoughtful. An Akai S900 at the right price is worth the investment.

Affordable Classic 12-bit Sampler
A classic 12-bit sampler that's still affordable and a good alternative to the way overpriced S950 or an MPC60.
