Geoff Downes of Yes used a Fairlight on one of their tours. it looked like (though i dont really know) he was doing some real time speech processing stuff with it. anyone who knows better, please let me know. new england digital, makers of the synclavier, had a demo record out for a buck, really pretty blue transparent vinyl, which had a bunch of little bittsy sound effect things on it, and one of them ended up at the beginning of Michael Jackson's 'Beat It'.
