Yes, I have one Fairlight CMI IIx, one Ned Synclavier I and one  
Synclavier II, and also other synth's and in old time also one Kawai  
K1 II ;)

I think all synths and in general all sound instrument are  
interesting...

The synth's sound is not the only part of the sound, processing  
(analog or digital) are very important !

For me for imitate the Fairlight CMI the best reponse is Yamaha TX16W  
(12 bits) ;)
