Fairlight-CMI

Hi Guys.

I have a V-Mod 100 solid state video deck manufactured by German 
company F.E.D. It has Sony 9-pin control and should be able to slave 
to MFX for film work. I know it can work, since Fairlight themselves 
used this device for demos. My problem is I can't set up the internal 
menus for the machine to be a 9-pin slave to the MFX. I've tried both 
an MFX2 and an MFX3+. If anyone has an idea, or better still, a 
manual, I would be forever in their debt. I have a film to work on, a 
director screeming in my ear, and don't want to hire in a Betacam 
deck (even if I had the money).

Thanks.  

Now a bit of shameless marketing:


I don't know if you're interested, but I have a couple of mint 
condition 
Fairlight CMI IIIs. I have two available. They are both revision 9.34 
(the 
latest CMI software), have 16 voices, 14 Mbyte RAM, Fairlight music 
keyboards, colour graphics cards and 15" LCD monitors (I no longer 
support 
the older monochrome Fairlight monitors as they are too unreliable), 
and 
either the old style alpha-numeric keyboard, or the later MFX 
keyboard. They 
have 4 Gbyte hard drives FULL of amazing libraries, such as the 
following: 
Complete Fairlight library, Prosonus Strings, Brass, Percussion, 
Sound 
Genesis strings, plus many libraries I have collected over the last 
20 years 
dealing with top pruducers and musicians. These include libraries 
from: Pet 
Shop Boys, Trevor Horn, Hans Zimmer, Frankie goes to Hollywood, Art 
of Noise 
and many, many others. The complete IIX library is also included. The 
machines will be serviced, have a full set of manuals, all leads, 
latest 
firmware, and come with 3 months warranty..

The price is GBP 5,750, plus freight.

I also have many optional extras such as digital samplers, 24 output 
routers, extra hard discs etc.

Pleas don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions, or 
you would 
like to buy one of these absolutely classic music systems....
