How does the S-1000 not 'destroy the analogueness' of your studio vs a computer?
Anyways, if you're hell bent on the sound of the S-1000, then just run through it's convertors (I don't have one, but I haven't ever seen an Akai without Digi i/o). If you're really wanting to use a hardware samplers, get an S-5000/6000 and just run the audio through the S-1000.
I'm not convinced that Akai was trying to make a 'warm' sampler with the S-1000. They were trying the best they could have at the time. There was no magic voodoo. It's all ICs and resistors, etc...
I dont' think an S-1000 (in thinking of a cost-benefit analysis type way) is really a good idea. It's too much trouble, kills a workflow due to slowness, and doesn't give out enough extra. If I were a client, i wouldn't want to pay for someone monkeying around on an anchient sampler just to 'dirty it up'.
To me this seems like trying to do vocal pitch correction with an old Eventide 910.
