It seems the midi timing is very accurate.

There is no Low Pass Filter on the s900! I think your talking about adjusting the bandwidth (aka sampling rate). Which is ironic because the aliasing your jazzed about is entirely digital and very easy to replicate via software.... Simply because its software in the first place making that sound not the analog components.

the S900 has the filter if you upgrade it to OS4... in order to use OS4, the S900 must have EPROM chips that are 1.2 and you can load OS4 from a floppy disk on startup.

SYSTEM DISK FOR S900
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the S9V4.0, an exclusive system disk for the
AKAI S900.
The S9V4.0 has been developed to augment the functions of the S900.
By loading this system software onto your S900 V1.2 (1,2), you can
obtain the following additional functions and upgrade the musical
expressiveness of your S900.
1. Pre-trigger recording
2. Special one shot mode
3. Crossfade looping
4. Dynamic Filtering
5. Automatic locating of start point
6. Velocity release by note on
7. Combine two samples for velocity crossfade type samples
8. Changing the velocity mix curve for velocity crossfade
9. Time skew for velocity
10. Key group copy function
11. Disk mode: Compression of sampled data
When using S9V4.0, please make sure you have fully mastered the basic
operation of S900.
WARNING
* The S9V4.0 cannot be loaded unless your S900 is V1.2 (1,2).
* The S9V4.0 cannot be copied. If you have trouble with your disk
under normal use, please consult the Service Division of AKAI's Head
Office through the store where it was purchased.
* Because of the augmented MIDI exclusive function, you may get an
error message if you load an editing software which was not created
by this system software. Please be sure to load this system software
before using editing software and sample data created by S9V4.0.
