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.
