TheAkai S900 is a 12-bit sampler, with a variable sample rate from 7.5 kHz through to 40 kHz. It was common in recording studios until it was superseded two years later by theS1000.

An expanded version, theAkai S950, was released in 1988 alongside the higher end S1000. The S950 imported some of the S1000's improvements, including timestretching (allowing the user to change a sample's length and pitch independently of one another),[3] and it increased the maximum sample rate to 48 kHz.[3] Unlike the S1000 series, the S900 series allows a sample to loop alternating forwards and backwards.

Notable users includeThe 45 King (who named his hit "The 900 Number" after the sampler),[4]Juan Atkins,[5]Beatmasters,[6]Black Box,Ian Boddy,[7]Enya,[8]Fatboy Slim (who nearly exclusively uses a pair of S950s),[9]Front 242,[10]KLF,[11]The Bomb Squad,Prince Paul,Renegade Soundwave,[12] andTangerine Dream.[13]
