Fairlight-CMI

Hi Rob,

I've seen JB's project evolution and prototypes. I can tell you he made
great progress during the first half of this year. Since then, they had 
their
second child birth and also they will move house soon... So all the
projects are in standby for a few months. But don't worry, the ExtOdy
will exist, as JB really needs it for his IIx !

Regarding the "Cult Sampler" product, it looks like a software sampler
delivered with a library of sounds coming from famous machines...
There's nothing new here. 10 years ago, we already had CDs of Fairlight
samples available for Akai samplers... And it never made the Akai sounds
like a Fairlight. I don't see why a PC could do it today.

These "virtual instruments" and "virtual studio" software have a really 
poor
sound quality result. We did use Cubase VST recording and treatment
functionality on a project with some friends... I'll never do it again 
!!! It's good
enough for creation and composition, but when it comes to the project 
itself,
nothing can compete with the real hardware.

Stay tuned.

	Laurent.
