Hi Peter,
I was reading some articles to do with Peter Vogel and Fairlight CMI's. One of the links stated that the CMI in 1979 cost anywhere between £30,000 & £120,000.
Is this true? If so, does anyone know what the basic unit consisted of and what the optional extras were to boost the price to £120k?
IIRC one of options of the CMI were
the polyphony. The previous owner of my Fairlight told me that he had
bought the machine with 4 channels and that he had upgraded it to
finally 8 channels. The upgrade cost him a fortune...
Cheers,
Alexander
