Fairlight-CMI

We talk about the samples of the fairlight but I
find discussions about the additive synthesis
side to be much more seldom.

1.  Can some one post some examples of the
a-synthesis capablities of the fairlight?
2.  Can some one tell us whether the additive
synthesis was 8 bit as well or was it higher then
the samples DAC?
3.  Can some one tell us if there is anything out
there today that can closely appromixmate the
A-synthesis sounds?  For instance I know that
Yamaha DX7 used 12 bit DAC convertors, so it was
not as warm as the fairlight but is dx7 FM close
to the sound?
4.  I've messed around with ADSYNDX, an additive
synthesis program online-it sounds good but not
as warm and big as the fairlight sounds I've
heard using additive.  In fact, it seems the
envelopes on the Fairlight Additive stuff were
very fast.

Basically does anyone know of any other 8 bit
digital synths in that era-FM, or anything else?
