and the character is not what listeners are able to catch, they catch nice melodies and great compositions done with a fairlight or with a akai or on a zx spectrum, who cares
is somebody here using his fairlight on NEW records ?
but this library project would for sure get audience, because the library is still interesting.

I agree. The quality of the Fairlight is unique, but whether the samples are used in a track directly recorded from a Fairlight or a program, such as Kontakt, using a CD / DVD library (recorded with lab precision), I doubt anyone would be able to 'really' tell the difference. The key is getting the library recorded correctly in the first place, capturing as much of the Fairlights character as possible...Peter

DA's and Filtering are what make this instrument so exceptional. I've owned nearly every
sampler made and have never been able to port or sample CMI sounds directly into another
sampler and have them sound anywhere close to the original. This is a testament to the
CMI's incredible sonic quality due to its build using such high quality parts. Whether or not
someone releases a CMI III sample CD library is irrelevant as it will never come close to
sound of the original.
