AKAI S-1100 sampler. It is still in mint conditition, released in 1990. It was a studio standard in those days. I don't use it that much these days, but the time stretch on that machine is amazing. For Jungle and Drum & Bass it's an essential piece of hardware imo. The Prodigy for instance had two of them 1100's in the studio and on tour if irc.

They had that sound still, the later models lost the magic. I had to split the outs of two S1000s and an S1100 across a large format desk. The way you have to assign parts to the outs is so confusing, using three made my head spin. Ah the good old days!
