James, I'm guessing that's the latest, I have the same revision and in its former life my IIx lived at The Village Recorder, which was the USA west coast HQ for Fairlight USA, and it was updated to IIx spec in 1985 - rev. 4A voice cards and all, so it reasonable to assume you've

Well, having used the Roland S-770 for years alongside a series III I would have to say the Roland is the best sounding sampler after the series III. It sounds excellent and is much more powerful in some ways. Taking clicks out of samples takles me about 5 seconds in the roland.

Hi David, I know, thanks. Peter Wielk has not confirmed it (see my other mail). I really think he should confirm or deny statements regarding serial numbers for units that are owned by group members, and even more so: by units that are on sale. It is very easy for anyone to claim

I have that issue too (Keyboard mag), they did indeed mention their Series III quite a bit in the interview. It's a shame they didn't carry on with the Series III, I found their music to be pretty uninteresting in the '90's (IMHO). I seem to recall reading about Roland Orzabal me
