Fairlight-CMI

This sounds great.  You say V2 "sound engine directly supports mode 1 and mode 4 fairlight modes plus full ppg wavetables". So do you mean V2 includes Mode 1 and Mode 4? Does V2 include any additive synthesis functions as in V1. I am intrigued by the additive synthesis functions of the fairlight cmi machines. 
Does V2 include voice and loop editing like V1?

      I'm working on a long-term project at the moment that (generally) replicates a fairlight.

Here's the details of both if anyone is interested?



I've got two versions of the program operational.

- V1 is a proof of concept and loads saves waveforms in raw format, wav, aif, plus fairlight raw 8 and 16 bit. Current status is discontinued as I have shifted focus to V2

- green screen (colours user optional)

- page based (no menus, etc) as in fairlight - instant screen redraw

- it saves wav format with roland loop data

- its got full additive / harmonic synthesis with a mixture of waveforms. both singular and full envelope control

- additive engine is instant - move a fader and the entire waveform updates

- full display in 2d, segment, 3d and true 3d allowing you to rotate the waveform in 3d (similar to the new 30a i think?)

- voice editing (reverse, normalize, fade, cut/copy)

- full loop editing including x-fade

- preliminary sequencer with voice selection, pattern, sequence and song.

- 32 voices 

- onscreen faders allowing volume, mute, pan

I can post images if more info wanted?



V1 was the concept, V2 is the more complete product.

V2 is more involved as there is a lot of engine stuff that is being created to support wavetables etc.

Here's what I've got so far:

- page/subpage based with instant screen redraw

- screen is divided into three: top is information, middle is the page display, bottom is the page/sub page buttons with small area for extra buttons

- full console/terminal for directly accessing commands from the keyboard 

- full load of wav/aif/raw formats in 8 and 16 bit with ability to load unknown formats

- full range of voice create

- full waveform/info display of any disk voice

- full waveform viewing in 2d/3d and true 3d

- brand new sound engine. each voice has the following:

  - 4 lfos

  - 4 envelopes (dadsr - delay/attack/decay/sustain/release)

  - 1 rotor - this is a variable 16 step sequencer

  - matrix to control how the above are routed

- block diagram of voice structure

- full graphics of faders/buttons, etc - these are all custom hardware accellerated

- the sound engine directly supports mode 1 and mode 4 fairlight modes plus full ppg wavetables



todo:

- synthesis integration

- song/DAW modes

- midi control



both are OSX snow leopard (and above)
