Re: Fairlight IIx sound swap?????

2006-07-27 by chaworth012000

Hi Kevin,

Series II sounds can be played on the Series III but only after they 
have been converted using the v23 utility (I've done this several 
times). This is due to the machines using different Operating 
Systems. Whether they sound the same of course, I wouldn't know as I 
don't own a Series II!

Regards,
Chris.
