Re: Recreating the Fairlight

Bjorn,

Does the IR facility in Kontakt also require 10 second files? That
seems the best option to me, because you could load an impulse for
each zone, coresponding to the playback of the sweep tone on each key
key of the CMI. You'd probably have to do this for all available
sampling rates- I think the IIx only offers a choice of two rates to
record at, is this correct?

Then, the only factor missing would be the sound of the summing
amplifier, and how that varies depending on how many channels are
playing back. So we'd probably get 98% of the CMI sound.

I think this approach would also cover the contribution of the
clocking scheme that Peter has kindly described.
