RE: [Fairlight-CMI] Re: Series IIx vs Series III

2004-04-14 by feldmann@xs4all.nl

Hello All,


Would you say that 6k was a good price for a series IIx ?
It was too much for me.

Also, the price for the unit is significantly less than the 6k advertized,
the rest is labour, shipping and packing.

What about the way it was packed, would that have been sufficient for the
music keyboard ?

We'll have to give philip a hand in bringing it down :) Maybe we'll all be
believers after the event and buy a Synclav ;-)

If so, it means that the MIDI delay really has gone up for the slaved MIDI
synth if the note of the original master analog synth sounds while it
hasn't even left the MIDI cable to the slave yet ;-)   (friendly pun for
John)
