My Modular "Akai S950" Sampler - ALM Busy Circuits Squid Salmple & MUM M8 Filter

I’m always looking for ways to add texture and grit to my sound, and most of the time, this leads me to vintage gear, like my beloved Ensoniq ESQ. The other piece of music gear that I’ve come to love is the legendary Akai S950 sampler from 1986. I owned one a few years ago, and I used it mostly for my drum sounds. The 12-bits, the ability to reduce the sample rate, and the excellent filter gave my drums such a unique sound and thickness. I ended up letting go of the S950 because it’s 34 years old and was worried that it wouldn't last much longer. Ever since then, I’ve been searching for ways to reproduce the S950 sound. I was able to get close with some plug-ins, but I prefer using hardware. So I built this little thing. It’s a tiny “S950” modular setup made up of the Squid Salmple sampler, that gives me the bit and sample rate reduction, and a Mum M8 filter that’s modeled after the S950 filter. Obviously, there’s no way to perfectly reproduce the S950 sound, but this setup gets really damn close and it sounds so good! I can get a thick lofi crunch on my drums, and the Squid is easy and fast to use. I made this demo of the setup showing the sound S950 type sound you can get from it. Not exactly like the S950, but close enough for me. The Squid is being triggered and sequenced with an Elektron Digitakt.
