Hi Kevin, The service manual says that the graphics terminal signal is supposed to be composite video. I'm not up to speed on this, but I guess this means you should be able to use a standard video to vga adapter for this, and just bodge a proper connection cable. I've not tried

Hi Kevin I am aware of a svga card for the Series III as i have sourced one for mine, however this card may work on a IIx also as these are very simular graphic cards. The only difference is that the IIx software program Rev 19 or 20 does not have SVGA programmed into it and this

Has anyone made, or know of an adaptor that would take the fairlights video output and display it on a SVGA monitor? I have a series IIX and would love to replace the large bulky monochrome monitor with a LCD flat panel to save space. I know you would lose the light pen functiona

Can anyone tell me, up to which Epson FX printer is OK to use on a Series III. There are many printers in the FX range and I'm looking one to print out directories. If anyone knows any other printer that works with the Series III please let me know. Many thanks Best regards Colin

Hi Colin. Thanks for the info :-) I've located a Series III so should have it within the next few weeks... Fingers crossed. It's software rev 6.03 which is ample for now, but I will ultimately want to get it upgraded and have been in touch with Peter Wielk. Yep, he's a great guy.
2003-07-09 by Colin Ross
Hi Peter The best place for a series III is Peter Weilks Horizontal Productions in London. Check his web site. Contact him direct for the lastest price as this has changed from what has been stated on the site. He's a great guy and is a good place to start if your looking for a F

Hi Patrick, Welcome I would like to take up some of your points. It would be great for all the Fairlight manuals could be redone as it seems that, the ones doing the rounds are the same copies which are good but not 100%. These are the copies that JB Emonds had on his site which

2003-04-29 by Jerry
Hi Andy, Currently, I'm not sure what, if any, songs my Series III was used on. It's had 3 owners that I know of, I am the 4th. Original owner was a producer, another owner was a producer for the likes of Backstreet Boys and Christina Agularia (I know I spelled that wrong), etc.

I just wondered if any of your Fairlights have been used in a past life in any pop songs of, prob, the '80s? Colin, I know most of thne Thompson Twins' work but didn't know the Fairlight was involved. Can you name any tracks where we can here it? Thanks, Andy.

Hi, I've been a fan of the Fairlight since the early 80's. Seeing guys like Martin Rushent sampling his voice then playing it on the keyboard as different notes, it blew me away! But its own sounds as well are lovely, especially the orch and aahh sounds as used by Jan Hammer, Jea

Hi Jerry The file that is giving a 217 error message is corrupt. Over time tape and 8" disks becomes bad and files are unreadable. Get a external Hard Drive (no bigger than 9 GB that's if your using OS 9.34. 4 GB if less than that) and save your sounds on that. Any tapes you have

One more question for you guys, I know...I'm full of them. I want to get a sustain pedal for my CMI. Not having much luck finding one that has the cannon connector so I'm wondering, if I get a regular pedal with a 1/4" connector, could I re-wire that with an XLR plug? If so, wher
