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.
