Series III Library availability

2006-12-07 by dvdborn

Hi,

Unfortunately I'm not a Fairlight user. But my main sampler is the Emulator III.

How is it that no-one has ever released CD-ROM's in a contemporary audio format with 
the Fairlight Series III library on it?

The EIII library CD-ROM's are widely available, The IIx library can be found on CD-ROM 
and at one time the Synclavier library was available on CD-ROM's. But no Series III to this 
day...

I don't think that it's a question of copyright since the IIx library is already out there. 

So what's the main reason? Is it because no-one has ever found the time to convert the 
4GB of samples? 
Or is the library part of the value of second hand Series III? Meaning that if the library 
should be widely available it would lower the appeal and second hand prices of the Series 
III?

So are there any other non-Fairlight users out there that want it?

Is anyone planning to convert the library in the future?

Regards,
