Fairlight-CMI

Hi,

I'm with you. I'm also for a quest to recreate the Series IIx sound. 

Here's my first attempt using multi samples, which turned out quite good:

This, of course, won't let you create new samples with 'that' Fairlight sound.

My next stop will be impulse responses. I did some initial tests by creating impulses of the 
A/D filter which turned out OK. But this of course is only one partial aspect of the sound.

My next experiment will be to create an impulse response of every key. I'm still trying to 
figure out what will give the best results. Normally, to create an impulse, using the IR 
utility that came with Logic Studio, you need a 10 second sweep tone. Since the IIx doesn't 
allow for such a long sample time I need to figure out an alternative method.
