Fairlight-CMI

Hi AndyG,

Its definately a Synclavier. I had the opportunity a few years ago to play a 
Synclavier II (FM only system) and its one of the presets.

There is a Synclavier demo LP and the start of Beat It is on there (or those 
first few notes). I'm pretty sure a bit of searching on the net will get you an 
mp3 of it.

Cheers, Marty

Subject: [Fairlight-CMI] Bell sample at start of 'Beat It' is Fairlight?

  
Hi, just bought the Fairlight app (and an ipod to put it in!!) and found the 
sample 'SYNBELL5'. 


To me it sounds EXACTLY like the bell sound at the start of Michael Jackson's 
'Beat It', I can even play the notes of it on the keyboard.

But, searching the internet, it seems that only the Synclavier was used on the 
'Thriller' album, not the CMI.

But it sounds EXACTLY the same!! And I'd love it if someone who has a CMI with 
this sample could confirm (or deny!) it is the same sound.

Thanks, and really enjoying the app!!

AndyG
