Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

I have this S1000 that I haven't been able to use because I don't have
a suitable space for it; well now that I am planning on building a
desk for my synth, I have an idea to place the sampler behind the
synth. Howerver, in order for it to fit, I'd have to hang the S1000
with the front facing the ceiling.

Is there any issue with this as far as functionality?

If you mean racking it vertically then i have my s1000 and s1000pb both 
racked like that and i havent had a problem with them

function-wise its fine, though heat rises so the front might get hotter than intended.  at least mounting it horizontally lets the heat rise in to the case.  dust is evil too!!

years ago i got my brother to make me a 3x4u rack to sit over my master keyboard so i didn't take up too much space in my room

<http://alaskahighway.com/studio/pd6.mov>

you will probably need apple's quicktime to see this.  rotate left & right to see the rest of the setup.  the pd6 workstation worked very well as it didnt take up much space front-to-back and allowed me to add stuff to the top surface.


the lastest studio, 5000 miles away from pd6, looks like this

the alternative is to buy an ultimate support amp stand <http://www.ultimatesupport.com/s.nl/it.A/id.743/.f?sc=14&category=40> and have the s1000 sat on the floor but pointing up at you by turning the stand around and having the long pole pointing at you.  i use this stand for an alesis dm pro in a 2u flightcse live - when i'm playing my electronic drum kit the flight case is angled up at me so i can see it.  neat solution.

Hi !

Take care of heat ! Depending on which memory-boards you are using, it can 
lead to distorted samples !
I had this w/ an S-1000 mounted in a rack the regular way, but without some 
rackspace leftover above the S-1000 ...

regards, - PeWe

Thanks for all the replys.

Yeah, I was worried about the memory because the back is full with 3 8
meg cards, a digital board, and the scsi board; I guess I'll install a
fan with a filter blowing air in a motion of from the floor up to the
ceiling. I'll probably have to make some cuts into the case to get
some ventilation, but I won't touch the front. But I'm glad to hear
that you have the same setup Frank so that's encourging.

Thanks again!

Hello, PeWe and S1000/S1100 members
Well, maybe it is reason of my troubles with s1100?
I bought it via Ebay, with overseas shipping. Item is just canme, tt is powers up, load disks, but all sounds i can get from it (doesn't matter, from floppys or sampled sounds) sound with digital distortion.  How it can be resolved? 

Kind Regards,
Boris

You need to make the DAC calibration!

I put them in queue, and put each one in different slots, but it  produced that distorted noise anyway.  here's examples of that noise, compared to my s950

Does it mean that trouble is not in sampler's memory?
Kind Regards,Boris

hi Peter!
Can you tell a bit more about that talibration? All outputs are with same noise btw...
Thank You

Boris
