In an interview taken over ten years after the S1000's release, Boards of Canada's Michael Sandison said "We have five or six samplers, but my favorite by far is still the Akai S1000. Many bedroom producers could make music using little more than an S1000 and an Atari ST to sequence it, and in the UK this combination was a popular way of producing music in genres from jungle to speed garage.

The S1100EX was an expansion for the S1100, including everything except the front panel, to increase its polyphony and timbrality.

The S1000KB was built into a keyboard, and included room for an internal 80MB hard disk. The S1000HD included an internal 40MB hard disk. Several variations of the S1000 were produced:

The S1000 used 24-bit internal processing, had digital filters and an effects send and return, and came with 2MB of RAM (expandable to 32MB). 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 S1000 was among the first professional-quality 16-bit stereo samplers. The Akai S1000 is a 16- bit, 44.1 kHz professional stereo digital sampler, released by Akai in 1988. 2MB (expandable to 32MB - originally 8MB maximum)
