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 Synclav

Yup, Marty is correct. I have a Synclavier and the "Beat it" bell, is a Synclavier FM preset. Not only is it a preset, but the whole opening melody lick is actually lifted from a Synclavier demo LP ( I think there was some infringement lawsuits over the melody as a result) Tobias
