Hi Klaus,
I don't think he is attaching them. They're pics that you normally receive embedded into the email from YAHOO, but his email program/server must be splitting them...
Cheers,
Peter

Emne: Re: [Fairlight-CMI] Hearing Series III





With reference to Peter's note, the PSB album 'Actually' does in fact
contain a lot of SIII sounds. If it is strings you're after, the track 'It
couldn't happen here' is entirely constructed from SIII string samples,
which apparently took several passes on the multi-track - (the source of
this is from an interview with the band).

On the subject of the quality of the string samples, I think that the
Fairlight III is still up there with the best of them. I also have an Akai
Z4, a Roland S760 and the entire Emulator III library (for the Z4) sitting
alongside my Series III and it has to be said that the depth and
expressiveness of the Fairlight samples is far better than the string
samples for these other machines. IMHO, only the Roland comes close.

Chris.

Yup, heard them all- still unsatisfied :)

OK, so maybe I form this that way: If anyone, who actually has
an sIII, and heard Vangelis' "Dream in an Open Space" (Voices), can
tell me, if strings section sound one could hear there is a series III,
because that's what actually I want to achieve.
