Fairlight-CMI

I remember hearing that this sound was recorded via a Roland chorus
unit. There was also an interview with Klaus Schulze from way back,
where he claimed that he made the original sample. Unfortunately I
have no references for these claims... There is also the SOS article
where Paul Wiffen stated that the IIx gave a "nasal honk" to
everything you sampled, and that the EII was a far superior machine.
JJ Jexzalik also famously stated that he loved the way the Fairlight
sounded like a Marshall stack.

So: it was a fluke recording on a bandwidth limited system, of a
breathy vocalist...
