Has anyone got any tapes crammed with top samples they'd like to sell? Can I audition sounds from the tapes without messing up what's already on my HD? Regards, Peter

Hi Peter, Here are some tips for you: - First thing, make some backup !!! A mistake could hurt... To do so, you need some empty floppy disks and DC600 tapes. you should backup the three system partitions (/k0 /k1 and /k2) using three 8" floppy disks. To play with Tapes and Floppy

Hi guys, Well, it's finally arrived and I'm well over the moon. It's an awesome piece of kit and something which will never leave my setup. Thanks to all that helped or offered help to get this shipped. It was a long haul, but we got there in the end. There are one or two minor p

Cool info folks! In his autobiography, Pete talks about the TDF mix of "You spin me.." and how he used the Fairlight for the sample of the two dogs f**ing. OK, so he talks a lot of crap, but it's a fun read all the same! He also makes it clear that Aitken and Waterman did the vas

Hi there Yes, Pete Waterman was not a fan of the Fairlight. (more the money he paid rather than the instrument itself I'm lead to believe) He didn't like spending large amounts on instruments. It was used more than Peter let s on as you can here it on allot of track.The Series II

"Pete could not get to grips with it and complained about paying the cost of it." That sounds like Pete Waterman!! Does this mean that the vocal sampling in SAW records (Mel and Kim for instance) is Fairlight sampled? I always thought it sounded more like an Emulator, which raise

Hi Thomas S.A.W. did have a Fairlight but it sat in the corner alot of the time. Pete could not get to grips with it and complained about paying the cost of it. They did however sampled it alot (strange I know) and used the samples. They used a Linn Drum with Fairlight drums samp

Stock Aitken and Waterman used the CMI from 1984 onwards, from what I can ascertain. Obviously they started with a IIx and moved on to the III. They made a lot of use of Elbass and the brass sounds, and a LOT of percussion. It was a vital element of the SAW sound. What do other u

Talking about schematics. Does anybody have the schematics for the IIx voice cards. I've still got 2 of them with a minor problem sitting on top of a shelf. They aren't in the service manual because they were (are?) protected. Is this still the case? CU Patrick --- In Fairlight-C

Yes, I too would be interested in a meeting in London village. I don't own a Fairlight but I am a HUGE fan of her and her music, and, if a demo was to take place, would gladly travel from Shropshire to be with you lucky CMI owners!

Fairlight users seem to be a very close community. I learned this when I was having trouble shipping my Fairlight. I was overwhelmed with emails offering help. Incredible!!! So, yes. This a fantastic idea... I'm certainly up for it. It'll be an ideal way to put a face to a name.

Hello all, I just found Stewart Copeland's album. Totally CMI 3, very cool. However, it sounds to me like he also used a Kurweil K250 for most of the strings and as his main piano sound. Am I correct? Or does the series 3 piano sound like a K250? It's interesting that, like a lot
