A few words from Tomás Mulcahy.
“
We created this using Redmatica Keymap after extracting the WAVs from a CMI Hard Drive using
CMIOS9. I further tweaked the Kontakt version after. So in many cases the loops and the tuning will be
more accurate/ smoother than the original. In some cases where the voice is made up of a selection of
dissimilar samples, the mapping might be a bit funky. My hope with this is to:
1. Help people make great music.
2. Bust some of the myths about the Fairlight. Now you can form your own opinion about these classic
sounds.
3. I see a number of people trying to make money out of these sounds, selling them in Kontakt format
on Ebay, or to Fairlight owners at inflated prices. This is morally wrong. Plus the sounds are not looped
as they would be on the Fairlight.
4. There is some cork-sniffing in the Fairlight community, generating illogical arguments about having to
own a Fairlight before you are entitled to use these
sounds.
Furthermore there is no valid copyright claim on this
library (which is why so many people sell it on Ebay). It
is provided here as free to use.
Luckily I am friendly with some Fairlight owners who
think this is silly, and my thanks to them for helping
with these sounds.
5. Enjoy! Feedback/ discussion welcomed.”
