That CD is crap. I got mine about 10 years ago from
there office in NYC. I dont have the time to see if I
still have it. Good luck with the search. I'm not
impressed with it.

While the playback through whatever gear you choose will lack the 
Fairlight filters and pitch-shifting characteristics, it is not crap 
and is probably the best you can do without actually using a 
Fairlight.  It is redily available here:

Good luck!

While I agree that it\u2019s probably about the closest that you can get, it\u2019s still a FAR cry from sounding authentic. I\u2019ve tried it with several different kinds of hardware and, to be polite, it kind of DOES sound like crap.

Those samples through the Fairlight hardware sound rather magical. Without the Fairlight characteristics, they\u2019re very blah\u2026

HUGE difference.

This CD gives each library sound twice, one in a low register and one
in a high register. The trick I think is to use only the low one.
Playing it on an ESI4000, you get the sound of a Fairlight that's been
enhanced with processing, and with some of the transposing magic built in.

It's missing some of the cooler CMI sounds, such as the bowed strings,
and all the samples were recorded with the anti aliasing filter
switched in, so they don't have that biting Marshall stack type sound
that the CMI can do.

It looks like the Pro Rec version linked to there does not include the
booklet. I'd be willing to sell mine with the booklet if anyone's
interested.
