I know this sound mainly due to my obsession with Dolby :-)
But yes, WHTNOIS. I'm sure that's what it is called. Peter Vogel gave me some lists of library sounds so I'll dig through them.
Come to think of it, it may have been a CMI Series I or II sample, as opposed to the IIx (I only have the IIx and III libraries and data here). Given the fact that the New Musik tracks you refer to were recorded in 1980, and TD's One Of Our Submarines was recorded circa '82, they preceded the IIx somewhat.
I know for a fact that this sample appears on the Bitley Fairlight Platinum ReFill for Propellerhead Reason. I know that Patrick sampled a IIx, but the chances are he may have had access to a II or I library. Patrick has also started converting this library into Kontakt, but I can't recall if this sample is on there.
Don't know how much help that has been but hope it has somehow.
Regards,
Rob.

Im looking for a breathy/radar/sonar ping sound, which (I think) comes from the fairlight.
You can hear it being used in the following tracks:
Thomas Dolby - one of our submarines is missing - both as a breathy background and also as a higher pitched ping
used all over New Muzik albums
anywhere - areas - breathy ping
anywhere - world of water - breathy ping
anywhere - luxury - again the breathy ping
anywhere - while you wait - opens the track and is used throughout
anywhere - changing minds - clipped ping
- to be honest it looks like its used on every track...
anyone help?
