[Fairlight-CMI]Re: Page R — What Made It So Unique and How Can I Emulate It?

2006-10-05 by e233dpj

Hi,
Series III still had (an updated) version of Page R. Incidentally,
Page R now stands for Rythm Sequencer whereas on the 2 and 2x it stood
for Real-Time Composer.
The SIII's Page R has 16 tracks although the principle is the same as
always.
CAPS (Composer Arranger Performer Sequencer) is much more powerful,
being able to control up to 40 internal instruments and up to 80
external ones. Later III's are also able to record Direct-to-Disk,
although this has limited editing facilities.
You can also transfer data from one sequencer and record it into
another via midi (very useful), which means songs can be "recorded" in
page R and edited in CAPS, which is much more comprehensive!

Hope this helps,
CJ
