Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

Hi Mike,

The EPS16+ is a very clean sounding machine, if you want grit you should look at its predecessor, the Ensoniq EPS. The EPS16+ and the ASR10 sound very similar and give you back pretty much what you put in. I've had all three machines but now just use the EPS because it gives you a nice crunchy sound but not as crunchy as say an EMU Emax.

I'm sure you've all heard of the ensoniq EPS+ 16bit 
sampler keyboard. from 1989 was it? 1990
how does the sound compare to anyone lucky enough 
to own one.
Is the EPS16+ more gritty? that's what I want to 
talk about really, the grit. I can't hear any in the s1000 (well, I got the 
s1100 but should be simular) you don't really associate grit with the 
16bitters.
 
Thanks.
