Re: Gigasampler translation

I managed to convert all my Fairlight sounds 1 year ago directly from 
my Hd' s using cmios9 ( kmi ), but you lost the fairlight filter + its 
particular pitch shifting ( from 5hz to 200 khz) + its unique sound-
converters. 

So you can imagine the sounds are hmmm near useless.

Finally the best way I find is to record the analog output of the 
fairlight using an apogee but the software sampler doesn' t reproduce 
the original pitch shifting "effect" , so it' s still far from the 
original.

Fairlight is a like a Stradivarius . Hard to catch in a modern 
computer .
