The only real on topic question is...Has Mike Pinder  signed it ?
The other on topic part of this subject is a shameless plug for the tape  
frame of my fairlight originally done as a piss take of the the fairlight that  
swiftly turned to amazement once the frame was laced up...

What?
 
So how many of these have they put out? 
 
Norm, could you take a valium and explain that?

I have ARR-1 here and it's quite incredible to hear that the sound
remains 'correct' no matter where you put the pitch controller.

That's the odd thing about the Fairlight, all the samples are transposed by  
speeding up and slwing down only and the original does that over six octaves  
without multisamples. The result is not natural but can be very musical. The  
Fairlight tapes for the Streetly library are each note from the fairlight 
played  for 8 seconds.
