Fairlight-CMI

To use cmi software you need a waveform supervisor card /On the 
MFX3+ it was replaced with a waveform executive that only control 
DTD software ( no more Quasar bus , so good by cmi )
You can use cmi software only on the very first versions of the mfx3.
Further you need an external rack to plug your 14 cmi voices ( you 
lose 2 voices because of the link with the mainframe )
The mfx3 itself has the dtd voices. 
On the ebay picture I just see a very incomplete Mfx3 (+?) system.
It seems it doesn' t have simply the 24 tracks for dtd editing. And 
the cmi voices rack is not present.
