Wow! I never knew that! Impressive introductory write up on SonicState: http://www.sonicstate.com/synth/roland_s770.cfm To be honst, I've never been a fan of Roland samplers, ever since using the S550. What a PITA!!! I do have an Akai S5000, which I really like. It's so bloody easy to use, filters a superb and also has a huge library as well as .wav compatibility. I wasn't being too serious with my comments at the bottom, almost tongue in cheeck. Protecting the Fairlight is like protecting my parents. No one will have a bad thing said about them. LOL ;-) Cheers, Peter

It sounds excellent and is much more powerful in some ways. Taking clicks out of samples takles me about 5 seconds in the roland. Timestretch, better multimode, portability! The filters are very good indeed and with the monitor hooked up and the remote control with mouse, it's a brilliant system. Some things are better than the seies III and some worse, but it keeps the fairlight on it's toes sonically! I don't think Roland (the company) should be blamed for TFF quality after '90, but Roland (the man)!! --- In Fairlight-CMI@yahoogroups.com, "Peter Connelly \(Core Design Ltd.\)" <PeterC@C...> wrote: > I read this in a Curt Smith interview on the web: > > "A few days ago I was offered a Fairlight CMI series III, MFX 2 which reportedly belonged to Tears For Fears.
