Zawinul was a big Chroma user, wasn't he...?

Saw him use one (amongst a ton of other things) with the Experience in N.O.,LA.

Great show!

Played it a few times in stores, but couldn't pull the trigger at that price point. Couple of sessions using a studio's one in NY. Beautiful sounds, great action, unique approach...

OK, OK, not just the Jupiter 8, but the Chroma and the Memorymoog would all be on my 'gearlust list' from your collection.

Not sure about the Fairlight, though. Sonically, most modern things can compete, but I just never learned the OS, so I'm not sure what I'd gain using it. Was it simply the library? I know at the time it was FAR ahead of any competing stuff, but with 24/96 software samplers out now, audio quality must be a moot point.

Did you do primarily your own sampling, or was it the Fairlight library that made it the goto gear for you?
