I just wanted to put your attention to the recent rebundled Fairlight and Synclavier sample library for Kontakt by Bitley. Lot's of classic sounds from the 80'.

It looks like the only Synclavier stuff there is via Reason Refills.

If you want a Synclavier, you can get much closer to the real thing with the Arturia Synclavier V. Actually, in some aspects it goes even beyond it.

Hi guys, happened to stroll by here.

So let me then tell you this: Our Way Beyond Synclavier 1 and 2 banks has been incorporated into Fairlight Kontakt 3. The price has been lowered from $216 to just $99 and it has more patches than ever. In fact if you want to know about that in detail, a PDF patch list is also provided / linked on the site. In short there are well over 1,500 patches and they are pretty inspiring just to play with. Uses very little ram / cpu and feeds creativity very easily.

The individual Lost In The Fairlight Maze packs are also available for just $10 each.

Here's just one of the packs playing; number 13 - "Sublime Chimes".

Here's a few more sounds used in my remix of Small Talk with Scritti Politti.

I work extremely hard with the sounds and they are not just an "80's" bank at all.

Welcome,

Some people confuse what a Synclavier is when talking about it. It is different thing depending on the context.

The early Synclavier was essentially an FM synth, and this part is represented well by the Arturia version.
In the middle era, they added basic monophonic sampling.

When it comes to "proper" sample libraries though, this is the later era Synclavier, when it was a powerful sampling/sequencing workstation (and by this time, most users were not using the FM synth side at all).

Very few of these libraries have left the domain of the Synclavier system owners, who seem to be fairly protective of those libraries, as it is a big part of ownership of those systems (now we can all do the sequencing/sampling thing).

I'd love to see some of those libraries eventually make their way over to the "lesser" samplers, though...

Absolutely! I love that!

I actually vacuumed the hardware world for all legal samples I could get hold of — so quite a lot from other machines is here as well.

I also created a lot of new material in the same style. And during the length of this project I went back to a collection of machines including X7000, DPX1, EIII, S-330, MKS-100, EPS, ASR10, E5000 Ultra, S1000, as well as a truckload of ROM machines.

This is the latest demo track, just uploaded earlier today.

The full PDF listing of all patches is available on my site.

But take patches like “Bitley Flute Experiments” (1 to 5) for instance; those can serve as an example of the material in here which is unique for this sound library (and its Reason equivalent WBF R2). One of those new flute sounds is used in just about the entire demo track.

The fact that I added sounds but kept the same “tone” or sound character throughout means that this library today

- Is being used by Fairlight CMI and Synclavier owners because it’s easier for them to compose and arrange using Kontakt & Reason

- Is the largest library by far with sounds of this type. For patch count take a look at the Reason version specifically; it has over 4,500 patches.

I dig it! Lots of fun. And great sound!

Thanks! I can promise that it definitely is a joy browsing these patches. It is a quite remarkable soundbank.

I'm quite sure the Fairlight samples are copyrighted. So unless you got an "ok" from the owner, this isn't legal.

Patrick - please can you respond either to the (read) PM here at KVR, or the email to your working email account, which I sent you in the last week about this soundbank.
Thank you.

They aren't, according to what Peter Vogel himself said: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yldcZ65PmVU

That's not what he is saying, though.

If Fairlight doesn't own the copyrights, who does? He said Fairlight don't have the rights, and that they were not involved in doing them (actually, that's not true, because some of the sounds came from them). They were just worried in making the instrument.

Besides, the Fairlight IIx library has been and still is available for free, and without a single word about copyright restrictions. Actually, that doesn't surprise me. At the time, these things were of no concern - no money was involved in doing samples and sharing them. The problem arose later, when it became a business.

I may be wrong, though. If you know someone who has the rights, actually I would like to know.

Anyway, we are talking of 8-bit and, at max, 30 kHz mono samples (usually 14 kHz).
