Re: Page R — What Made It So Unique and How Can I Emulate It?

2006-10-02 by matthew_weiner_2000

Well, right -- I think that's exactly it: I need to see how it works.
 It's just interesting that it takes a LOT of work to recreate not
just the "sound" of the Fairlight on modern gear, but perhaps more
importantly, the "feel." 

Is there any kind of Page R emulator out there?
