I have the originals. I work at the museum. I tried to post them earlier on the site but the whole file once converted is 23 megs. There are two sides to the 83 demo one is just the music the other is the one you listed the link. We are currently converting all of or sound disks

Hi Peter, You can load a stereo voice file in a mono voice. So... either you reset the current system before loading the stereo voice file : # SYSR # VL my_stereo_voice.VC Or you can create a stereo Voice within your current system and then load the voice file... (it is the way t

Hi Laurent, It would be much cheaper to buy 3 x 2 Mbyte cards. I have used cards for GBP 60 each, I think this is about 85-90 Euros, plus postage. I hope this is useful, regards, Peter Wielk > My CMI has only got 8Mb of waveform memory. Would it be cheaper to > buy three CMI-39 b

Hi all, Here's a link that plays side one of a Fairlight Demo tape from 1983. It even has Dr Bob Moog singing its praises! http://www.keyboardmuseum.com/soundsheet/fairlight3.html You'd better have broadband though, it's 17.8MB and it's streamed. You can record it to your PC if y

Hi Peter, My CMI has only got 8Mb of waveform memory. Would it be cheaper to buy three CMI-39 boards or one WFM-32 board ? Regards. Laurent.

This sounds very cool! Would it also be possible to control the CMI through the USB connection? I sure don't like poking around the innards of my machine (yep, for collectors value). And I'm supposed to be electro-technical engineer. ;-) I also don't think 760 is to much consider

Hello everybody , in particular the CMI II and IIx users. I answer the preceding mail of Patrick. Indeed, for the extention hard disk of CMI IIx, it is possible to put a Q-077 card (Hardware Disk / Tape DMA Interface), card designed by Fairlight in 1985 ! I have even the system a

Hi guys, I'm thinking about joining the meeting in London, but I'm not sure I have some spare time left around that time. I would be very interested if 3 things came up: - Checking if the series III hard drive card can actually work on a IIx (possibly with OS9). Peter mentioned o

Hi Laurent, You obviously didn't read the hardware overview on my site as suggested! With an older rev 5 machine, you can't access any more than 14 Mbytes of RAM. This is a limit of the 68000 processor in your machine. An upgraded machine has a 68020 processor which can address u
2003-10-29 by Laurent Lemaire
Hi Peter, I understand your point of view. And I agree that an updated fairlight is faster and have access to a wider set of scsi devices. However, from a collector point of view, I do think that keeping the older machines alive and running with their original specs is worthwhile

Hi Guys, I'm writing this just to clear up a few points regarding Fairlight III upgrades. Yes there are quite a few modifications done, namely to the channel cards, memory, sampler, and digital motherboard. However, these are all cards in the digital domain. There is absolutely n

It doesn't involve too much hardware changes and the software still looks the same. It still sounds like a Fairlight and looks like a Fairlight but basically the potential functionality of it is increased amd opens doorways to many further upgrade options. It doesn't take away th

Hi Peter, Thanks for the answer. I bought a rev6.03 this summer and I also looked at the 9.34 upgrade benefits. But I'm a collector and when I saw all the modifications that were needed, I changed my mind. To me, the rev 9.34 is a completly other machine and the upgrade process i
2003-10-29 by Peter Connelly (Core Design Ltd.)
Hi Laurent, Looking back, it would've been 'easier' to buy from Horizontal. I did get a very good price on my 6.03 machine and Peter supplied the upgrade (on the same machine) for a discounted price, so it worked out ok, probably about the same. Initially, I wasn't bothered about
2003-10-28 by Laurent Lemaire
Hi Peter, Can you tell us more about the upgrade process ? Have your machine be upgraded or do you receive another one ? What hardware is changed ? Do you keep the old parts ? There's something I don'tunderstand... Why did you bought a rev6.03 to upgrade it ? Was it not easier to
2003-10-28 by Peter Connelly (Core Design Ltd.)
If anyone else hasn't yet done this, do it ASAP!!! It's awesome and worth every penny. The libraries that Peter Wielk supplied on my 4gig HD are absolutely fantastic. I'm suprisingly impressed with the IIx library, epecially the non standard sounds. Regards, Peter

Hi James The Fairlight in the video is not a IIX but indeed the fabled Fairlight IIIL, a hybrid of the IIX and III, it was this machine that evolved into the series III. Pretty smart stuff here, with 16 bit sound, hard disk drive and tape streamer, but only eight sound cards thou

Hi Guys, I am very intrigued by the Syco video of the CMI series 11X demonstrated by Kendall Wrightson. It is definitely a series 11X but it seems to have a series 3 hard drive section. Well I would love to know about the inner workings of this particular CMI. It is obvious that

2003-10-18 by James Thomson
Hi Colin, From what I have heard the Jaz will cause directory problems for the CMI. However, if you set the Jaz to ID 2 and then exit to OS 9 -- if you type: Scsiformat /sc20 the CMI should recognize and format the cartridge. However you may encounter problems trying to create a

Hi Guys, I recently picked up a Iomega internal SCSI Zip drive. I have just formatted it on my CMI 9.34 series 3. This seems an ideal format for trading sounds to me. Will a SCSI Zip drive work with CMI Explorer on the PC / MAC ? I have an internal Zip drive bay for my Powerbook

2003-10-17 by Gerald Vance
Hi Kevin and the rest of you lot, The IIx sounds do translate well on to the series III, but for some reason the sound better on their native device. However getting your IIx library onto the Series III hard drive is a good way of preserving IIx sounds, remember 8' disks won't be
