Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

Hi guys.

I am looking into the history of important samplers at the moment, and 
I just can't seem to find ANY info on the invention of the S1000. Do 
ANY of you know ANY names involved in the making of the S1000 ?

Any info would be greatly appreciated !

Thanks;

Hi Kenneth,

The Keyfax Omnibus Edition of Julian Colbeck mentions that the S1000 
has been designed by David Cockerell, H. Takemura and Chris Huggett. 
The first two of these people were also chief designer of the S900 
and the S950. Cockerell was also the designer of the S612; in fact he 
was the "lead architect" of the early Akai S line. 
Additional info on the S1000, as mentioned in the same book:
- number of units sold: 22,000
- production run: 1988->1993

I hope this helps ?

Yes, you should have this book.
It contains this kind of information on about 100 vintage synths and 
samplers. Also interesting in this specific book of Colbeck is that 
he gives some background information about each of the major 
synth/sampler companies. A must-have indeed !
