Akai S1100Review | Sound On Sound, Dec 199016-Bit Stereo SamplerAkai's S1000 is without doubt the industry standard professional sampler, so why try and improve on the best?

Fairlight Series IIIReview | Sound On Sound, Sep 1986THE ULTIMATE SOFT MACHINEThe Fairlight (in its previous Series II guise) was/is probably the most famous computer musical instrument in the world.

Richard Elen takes a look at the mind-boggling potential of this Rolls-Royce of sound sampling/synthesizing machines. |
