Wasn't  the Fairlight a digital sampler?


Only one page of the menu system deals with sampling (it was an  
afterthought) the rest of it was an extremely good additive /  wavetable synth.
 
Point is if you sample anything with a Fairlight it comes out different to  
how it went in but in a good musical way. I was being ironic when I recorded 
the  Fairlight for the Mellotron library but the result was stunning, the 
Mellotron's  reproduction of the Fairlight is much closer to the original than other 
high end  samplers that I have tried. That was even more ironic than I could 
have hoped  for.
