Fairlight-CMI

Perhaps it would be ideal if both PC and apple platforms were supported?

Why emulate the variable sample clock playback? 
Create the hardware that actually works that way..........
 
Pitty you choose the Apple platform. I'd prefer a 
pc I can modify easy myself. In the end it's more durable.....
Also I don't like Apple, for what it did with 
Emagic Sounddiver, which had alot of usercreated devices 
implemented.
 
Have a look at this doc, in German (a link with 
english translation would be cool, so more can learn about this...), it 
explains very good what is wrong with the modern company mentality. (Also a 
"nice" part about Apple!)
 
 
Cheers,
 
Peter.

That looks fantastic!

Most importantly, how will it sound? Will each 
voice be an emulate the sound of a voice card with variable sample clock 
playback?

Keep us up to date. I'd buy one. 

Do happen to have any 
screenshots?

Best,
David
