Fairlight-CMI

Well, having used the Roland S-770 for years alongside a series III I would have to say the 
Roland is the best sounding sampler after the series III. It sounds excellent and is much 
more powerful in some ways. Taking clicks out of samples takles me about 5 seconds in 
the roland. Timestretch, better multimode, portability! The filters are very good indeed 
and with the monitor hooked up and the remote control with mouse, it's a brilliant system. 
Some things are better than the seies III and some worse, but it keeps the fairlight on it's 
toes sonically! I don't think Roland  (the company) should be blamed for TFF quality after 
'90, but Roland (the man)!!
