Emax

It would not be surprising to me if the Loon Garden samples could be found in the E-II, 
Emax, and Emax II since they all shared base samples from which their individual banks 
were created.

Based on the age of recordings using the Fairlight that uses that sound I'd say your 
guess that it is a Fairlight CMI series 2 is correct, but once again it is such a 
recognizable sound I wouldn't be surprised is it made an appearance in all versions. 
The link I gave you is to the Fairlight bank converted into Akai format, I believe.

I can't remember right now, but wasn't the Fairlight CMI series 2 a 8 bit machine? In any 
case you can easily make the sample more granular soundaing by resampling, lowering 
bit rates, transposing, etc..
