The AKAI S950 sampler from 1986 was one of the first professional samplers and was best-known for the sound quality. It featured AD/DA converters that can add a warm and crunchy character to any sound.
Unfortunately, there is today no hardware sampler on the market that has such an iconic sound character. The developer Mathieu Demange accepted the challenge and announced today that this best-known character is now available for all DAW.
The new RX950 Classic AD/DA Converter is a new effect plugin that emulates the whole AD/DA conversion process from the AKAI S950 sampler. The aim of this plugin is to offer again a way to offer musicians this vintage, warm and crunchy sound.
