The first thing I think of is 'time warp' - since it goes from old to new. Since it goes to eleven, you should just call it Nigel. Yeah. That's it. :-) On Mon, Nov 15, 2010 at 3:31 PM, Peter Vogel peter.vogel@vogelfamily.net > wrote: Our protype CMI-30A has a new control which ha

Our protype CMI-30A has a new control which has the working title "character". This is an assignable realtime control that takes a sound from really grungy, through CMI-II and III to Crystal Core purity at 11 (other samplers only go to 10, of course). Can anyone think of a snappi

So are PPG wave's, Waldorf Microwave, Prophet VS not hybrid? Translated to samplers, I call a sampler hybrid if it has an analogue type of filtering after the DA conversion is done. Many vintage samplers have an extensive VCF (with resonance and many other parameters, like an ENV

No question about it. The Fairlights are hybrids. Don't forget that they also have analog VCA's. David http://dvdborn.blogspot.com --- In Fairlight-CMI@yahoogroups.com, "Peter K." wrote: > > So are PPG wave's, Waldorf Microwave, Prophet VS not hybrid? > Translated to samplers, I

Same here. I had a hard time getting cards back in. The tips given in previous messages did it for me too. Thumbs on PCB, not the levers. Wigling the card a bit. Also I used a nail file to round up the sharp corners from the small slot that alignes the PCB. (Do you guys call that
2010-11-06 by Joe Sleator
Okay, here's a couple techniques that always have worked for me. Brand new backplanes are sometimes _really_ tight, and yeah, I totally agree with you that it's no fun getting cards in. A minor digress, a friend of mine once had an old III where the cards would practically _fall_

Hi Howard, It helps if you aternately apply pressure at the high end and the low end so you dont have to get past the 'entrypoint' of all contacts at once. I'd gently push on the board itself, without touching (bending) any of the components. 'wiggling it' my help. Regards, Haral

Hi Howard, Yeah, it feels a bit scary pushing that hard. Push on the card, not on the tabs. Make sure the tabs are in the correct position ( i.e not open position ) when pressing the card in. Aslo, check to see that nothing is blocking the card, cables, dead rat or scorpion... Wh
2010-11-05 by WT
I had the same problem. My guess is that it was a long time ago since the cards were removed. Put on some heavy-duty gloves and with both thumbs, press that sucker in. It helps if you have the mainframe positioned up against a wall or have a friend to hold it so it doesn´t move..

2010-11-03 by Peter K.
Basicly original prices mostly don't say anything about an instrument and it's current value. With Fairlight however, it is part of the myth that it was soo expensive! The price impressed me back in the 80's, but it did not made me decide to buy one. It's sound and the certain ma
