Akai reel-to-reel systems using cross-field, starting with the Akai XIV/Roberts 770, boasted 13 kHz maximum frequency at 1.875 inches per second, greater than similar systems at twice that speed. The two-head cross-field system also had problems. One was the need to keep the heads in proper alignment, which was tricky for the average user.
The Akai S3000XL [3] is a sampler with 32 polyphonic voices, and 2 MB of built-in RAM.. For adding sounds to the sampler, the S3000XL features a 3.5" floppy drive that reads Akai-formatted floppies, and a SCSI port which allows for connection to an external storage device (such as a zip drive or external hard disk), a CD reader, or a computer for editing samples via the MESA editor.

The Akai S1000 is a 16-bit, 44.1 kHz professional stereo digital sampler, released by Akai in 1988. The S1000 was among the first professional-quality 16-bit stereo samplers. [ 3 ] Its abilities to splice, crossfade, trim, and loop sound in 16-bit CD quality made it popular among producers in the late 80s through to the mid 90s.
The Akai SG01v is a ROMpler, [1] meaning that it plays prerecorded samples stored on a ROM chip, as opposed to generating sound through onboard signal generators. The unit was produced by Akai in 1995. [2] It is housed in a 1U half-rack chassis and can be controlled through General MIDI messages.
