Well, I had this problem as well, and found the cause by accident : 

When I first set up the CMI, I had the alpha keyboard plugged into 
the music keyboard, which was in turn plugged into the mainframe.

When I got everthing setup how I wanted it, I removed the music 
keyboard from the chain, and plugged the alpha keyboard straight into 
the mainframe, and used my normal master keyboard through midi to run 
the fairlight.

Having done that, everything worked OK.

Im not suggesting this is a solution, but it would be worth checking 
as it really narrows down the problems.

Cheers,

Arron
