Hi Howard, As far as I am aware, Joe made a limited run of 20 units. I have to say that the interface works perfectly. I will probably use an Apple flat panel with my CMI 2X. Cheers, James On 3 Oct 2010, at 20:38, Howard Smith wrote: > Hi Joe > > I am new to this forum and I woul

Apologies to everyone for posting this in the forum. JB, my emails to you are bouncing -- did you receive one with the total $ amount? I tried sending you a personal message through Yahoo!, but it bounced too. I think a spam filter is catching them. Tim, I haven't heard back from

Hi Howard, James is correct, I only made 20 units. I may do another run. I'm also planning to build an interface for a USB keyboard -- a second board that will connect to the mouse interface board. For those first 20, there would be an upgrade which would be the new board plus a

Am curious if any of you have purchased (maybe on ebay) a Series III keyboard (only the music keyboard and perhaps a red flight case) over the past few years? If so, could you please email me at toddtoonz@msn.com? Thanks! Todd

I'm a little out of touch with some of the new fairlight technology. Is there a web site where I can view the CMI lightpen-->USB mouse + graphics adapter box + cable? Who sell's it and the price. Also Is this for the IIX or III? --- On Mon, 9/27/10, dvdborn wrote: From: dvdborn S

I'm also one of the happy few with a mouse interface. I can only say that it is brilliant. I never had a chance to use the Fairlight with a light pen since mine was broke. I was used to working with all the key commands. But using it with a mouse makes everything feel much more n

When I lived close to NYC I had the convence of having a Synclavier Tech look at my Synclavier system. My Fairlight was serviced by a Ex Fairlight service guy. I would have to say as a hole out of all the Super Systems of the 80's that the Fairlight is the best built system out o

Hi Greg & Steven, the CMIs have many electrolytic capacitors. The question is which are just annoying when failing, and which might be dangerous, and what could be done for protection. Details, as far as I know (I may be all mistaken - corrections highly welcome!): Electrolytic c

Here is a capture of a VHS-tape recording I took back in 1983. It shows the use of a Fairlight and is accompanied by an Oberheim FourVoice and a violin. I love it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqINGYxJs6Q Cheers, Peter Kersten.

Well, it sounds more like a grand piano than a cp80 does. CP80s tend to just sound like CP80s. Piano on IIx sounds... like a IIx :) But seriously, back then, the K250 and the EII were the most realistic sounding portable pianos. --- In Fairlight-CMI@yahoogroups.com, "elanb" wrote

I don't think it's tongue in cheek, I think he was genuinely peed off that the IIx did not live up to his expectations, having had a lot of experience as a synth programmer. This is the guy that created the famous Synthex Laser Harp patch. Hence the chagrin. :)

Actually Wiff is one of the most accomplished synth programmers alive. His opinion is actually worth listening to. If you like it, it's "breathy", if you hate it it's a "nasal honk" (with or without filter). Although I do agree that in some ways he doesn't get it- for example, cr

Sorry to dissapoint you guys, but I have to say I fully agree with this guy. The Pre-series III Fairlights really suck. They sound awfull. Since I own a IIx myself, I think I can safely say I know what I'm talking about............. For those who want to sell these piles of junk,
