How does the Fairlight pitch shifter work in comparison to other samplers, such as Giga or contact? I did notice playing a single sample was a lot more gratifying on the CMI as oppesed to playing it on another, regular sampler.
Cheers,

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 .
