| I tell you. You will not get the sound that you want. Its not about numbers, samplerate and bitresolution. I guess you want the SP sound. But that sound is unique. There is no way to get this sound with an Akai and most of the so called LoFi plugins are also crap. There are two Freeware PlugIns that create "a kind of" SP sound: time machine and mda degrade.
Dont focus on the bits cause bitreduction in a plugin just "cut the bits" and this sounds horroble IMO.
The SP does a lot to the sound when pitched down. there are frequency mirrors over the whole bandwidth and resonaces and notches at the nyquist frequency and the next harmonic (double nyquist).
When you pitch down with the s950 you wont get these mirror frequencies. Its a different sound. The s950 is more a clean and dull sounding sampler. But there is much color in the filter if you use the settings beween 55 and 70
