Fairlight-CMI

As ever, David, I have followed your Fairlight tales on your blog, much as I
did with your EIII :o) I already downloaded the Kontakt samples you made.

 

I hadn't even considered the use of IR's. Good thinking !

 

I just wonder how difficult it would be to model the Fairlight's
architecture. Korg did a very good job with their M1, Wavestation, Polysix,
MonoPoly & MS20 and whilst I appreciate the Fairlight is probably a tad more
complex, surely it is possible ?

 

Anyway, I eagerly await the results of your experimentation :o)

 

Regards,

 

Rob

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:
http://dvdborn.blogspot.com/2008/06/sampling-sampler-about-10-years-ago.html

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.

David
