I believe that the S1100 also has a faster CPU that the S1000.
Many people claim that the improved AD/DA convertors and CPU were more superior than that found on the later AKAI samplers in the 'S' range.
Any thoughts on that? |
And you can run 11 outs, using the extra send......always handy....
Haven't used either for ages, but can't recall a violent difference. I think you can get more level out of the 1100. 1000 not so hot, which is why people used to put them up mic ins....and some not awfully useful fx in the 1100. Can be fun-ish.
As far as against S3000/3200, I sort of like the skinnier shape of sound. Sounds more musical once made up with eq. 1100/1000 take eq better than 3000/3200 in my opinion.
S5000/6000 is a whole different thing.....sounded good and big, but my experience was I could never trust the buggers not to throw a wobbly when you least need it.....
