Fairlight-CMI

cmios9 works really well and Klaus is extremely helpful. You will need Win XP or older, and a SCSI card. Useful for making backup disc images of your library.

However, you will be waiting a long time for chicken systems to create a CMI converter, they/ he have been talking about it for years.

Interestingly, cmios9 will let you read the hex values for the parameters in the series II and III, such as loop point, the carious modulations, pedal settings etc.

I have ported the library in this manner, but it is tedious copying the right positions for the multisamples, and finding the loop points etc. However it is worth the effort for the IIx sounds, they sound amazing without the IIx DA. Not better, just different in a good way! And there are no multisamples on the IIx :)

Something like samplerobot might be better, it actually works, right now, and you will capture the tone of the CMI converters also.
