I know it was finished but here's a slight update The actual fairlight sound is called WHISTLE.VC I think it is a series 11 or possibly series 1? It can be found on the ANALOG disk! If anyone has more information on which series it comes from - my bet is 11? Definitely not 11x :)

Hi Peter, I'm also a little familiar with the hardware of the MFX, so please let me know if I can help you. Do you want to use the MFX channel cards or the SIII voice cards? Ciao Fabio --- Mar 22/1/13, horiprod ha scritto: Da: horiprod Oggetto: Re: R: [Fairlight-CMI] New pictures

Hi Fabio. I've managed to get the "downgraded" MFX3 to almost boot revision 9, however it can't "see" the channel cards, so I have modify the motherboard. I'll let you know how I get on. Regards, Peter --- In Fairlight-CMI@yahoogroups.com, fabio delben wrote: > > Hi Peter, > this

Hi Howard! Good to hear from you. I'm afraid my list of owners serial numbers has been lost after many relocations. Regarding the keyboard question: You can't directly swap a III into a IIX, however you can easily use a III as a MIDI keyboard by making up a small 9-pin to DIN lea

Hi Peter, this is really interesting, please let us knows more details and price of the "downgrade". I own 3 MFX3+, but they need some fixing. Ciao Fabio --- Gio 17/1/13, horiprod ha scritto: Da: horiprod Oggetto: [Fairlight-CMI] New pictures for the new year ..... A: Fairlight-C

Hi Peter Happy 2013 to you! Looking good - I see the dream is all set up :-) Do you or anyone else on here have a list of CMI serial numbers and who originally owned them? As I would love to know who owned my machines originally. Also tech question - can a series lll music keyboa

Hi All.. Some new pictures from Horizontal in Sydney. Lots going on here. I've almost finished "downgrading" an MFX3+ to a series III. Good fun if you consider only about 250 series IIIs were made, yet there are probably thousands of MFX3s, which are sadly not being used.... If a

I don't get any bad vibes at all from Greg's posts to the group. I've just looked back at the last ones and nothing comes over badly. On the contrary, he was being helpful and offering the group copies of the ZZ Top sounds that he has. Maybe I'm missing something, or maybe this i

Your memory is sharp as a tack, Steve! If, for whatever reason, you don't want to use the inbuilt "Transfer" funciton Steve mentioned, documented in the CMI Owner's Manual (1985) at C-2-10, you can boot your CMI with a QDOS diskette and use the COPY command as well. Many people,

Have not done it for a very long time (like 25 years) , but I think if you highlight the RS sequence you want to copy and then select “Transfer”, you will then be prompted to replace the System disk with a floppy you want to copy to. [Steve] From: Fairlight-CMI@yahoogroups.com [m

Is there a way to copy a Page R sequence from one disk to another? I can't find an answer in the manuals (User Manual & Page R manual). There's a possibility with the BACKUP command in QDOS. But this will copy the whole disk which is not what I want. I just need to copy one .RS f

So does the IIx with the General Interface Unit actually work with SMPTE? From reading the post here, it sounds like SMPTE input on the IIx Interface will trigger the sequencer to start, but then it runs free and doesn't actually sync with the SMTPE time code. What's the real sto
