Re: [Fairlight-CMI] Bell sample at start of 'Beat It' is Fairlight?

2011-07-02 by fab

Yes. 
This is one of the original NED Synclavier II
FM-synth factory presets.
These disks also contain a demo sequence
that became famous as the "Billie Jean" bass lick.

As far as I recall the fairlight factory library 
contains more than one sound that was sampled from the Synclavier.
