The S950 has always help me out in a pinch

The first 'cheap' sample with time-stretch. And IMHO its never been bettered. Really good for percussion. Shame about the 2.25Mb or RAM.

As far as 12 bit sampling goes the S-950 is the Bomb-Ba Shit. I still use it on almost all my hip-hop tracks. 12 bits is almost always enough for real hip-hop tracks. This sampler is like the MPC60 of rack mount samplers and I use the two together more often than not, where as I use my S3000xl with my MPC3000. Even though the S-950 is slightly out dated it will never become obsolete, it just sounds too damn good!

i like the S950 for its crunchy 12bit sound; i used to to play all my drumsounds on it before i got my mpc3000 - but even now i use this lovley machine for lofiFXz ( you can adjust the sample- bandwith from 19000-3000Hz,real hardcore! ) and timestretching.Go get this machine, it`s cheap even!

Easy to use? Yepp. But a bigger display or a editor would be better. Great for drumsounds. I sampled all my kitchen gears and made a song called "Kitchen massaker". Lost the disk and sold the sampler. I am going to buy a new sampler some day, preferably a 16 bit sampler.
