So now YOU'RE telling ppl what they can or cannot post?

Not your thread, not your forum. You know where the door is....

Can someone tell me if this Arturia CMI-V contains the library from the Fairlight Series 3 please?

What it tells me is that specific applications are available on Windows that aren't available on Mac, likely down to perceived market share not being too enticing, and developers not feeling it worth learning to code, bug-shoot etc for a completely different operating system.

I dual-boot solely to game. It is not that Windows is inherently better for gaming, it's all about title availability. The games that I have that run natively on both Windows and OSX, run identically

People choose the OS they are most comfortable working in, and I think you'll find that most people only dual boot (As opposed to fully switching to Windows) because for most of the time they are happier in OSX, and are sold enough on that experience to pay the extra money to do so

There are reasons for dual-booting, but I doubt anyone is doing it to just spend a few hours on the other side of the fence, for joy

No it doesn't, and it's not an emulation of, nor does it sound anything like, the Series III.

Well... It does 16-bit and 44.1 kHz. What else was added in Fairlight Series III that's missing (this is a serious question)?

Anyway, it's true that what was being emulated was essentially Fairlight up to IIx, not III, although there are a lot of "extras" that, AFAIK, no Fairlight even had.

The Series III was completely upgraded, sounded completely different, had decent quality specs, had more sophisticated sequencing - basically "more" and "better" of everything.

Of course, CD quality stereo sampling is no big deal these days, so any Series III emulation wouldn't likely be that special - it would just replicate what we can already do with computers, just with a worse interface...

the only real sound quality difference is that because the Fairlight had dedicated cards per voice, the sample playback system is different.

Fairlight emulations tend to be the earlier models *because* of the early character and library quality.

But the Series III library is pretty cool though, I've discovered many things I'd heard on records and had once thought was original sound design from the artist...

I even agree with all of you and I am a hard core mac user and apple hater at the same time. And before I got an iPad I could not even imagine to imagine using it for music, but now it is a perfect companion for my linnstrument with a lot of MPE compatible synths. Comes right after hardware synths and is so much smaller and lighter...
In the early days, I am coming from, all the main tools I was using did not run on PCs. A bit like today, not a single music tool running on iOS is running acceptably on Android. This will change for sure...

I work with dozens of people across multiple offices (all using laptops). Easily more than 50% are Macs. Few of them even have a dual boot.

What I have noticed over some years... the Windows laptop users consistently have more downtime and spend more time dealing with their laptops instead of just getting stuff done.

Same reason IBM found Macs to be cheaper for their employees in the long run. Less tech support needed.
