I have only seen CMI-01 Rev 5 and 8 cards which are for the series 1. The Rev 5 cards have a cream coloured circuit board and the Rev 8 cards are the traditional green colour. There aren't any filters on these cards as the series 1 software doesn't support a filter.. As far as I am aware the last revision of software which works with the series 1 is Rev 11. I am very interested in hearing the difference between a Series 1 and a Series 2 X with the same sound loaded and using the 8 individual outputs on each mainframe. Perhaps Peter Wielk has done this comparison ?
Cheers,
James

Yes, it was very sunny here today. :-PJoeOn Fri, Mar 23, 2012 at 2:30 PM, horiprod <horizontal_productions@hotmail.com> wrote:Hi All
There were quite a few revisions of channel cards for the Fairlight series I and II / IIX. Looking at a few here, the earlier series I cards were labelled plain CMI-01 (rev #), the later series II cards CMI-01-A (rev #). A quick way of telling whether I or II is that the I has only 1 multiturn pot facing out of the cardcage, whereas the later II cards had 7.
Hope this is helpful,
