Re: [Fairlight-CMI] Looking for a sound

2012-10-08 by JAddams

This has been a great way to research how music is put together.

I've been digging as far as I can into the Dolby history and it seems he was using a PPG Wave computer called "Henry" at them time. Henry was replaced with a CMI when he fatally fell down a lift shaft on a US tour! He also references a clap sound which was used, this was a snare drum slowed down. He bought a simmons module (the clap trap?) and triggered it from the PPG. I'm now going through the PPG library and will keep you posted as to my results :)

The CMI was called "Henry the second".
