The "Insects" album is great! Thanks for that one. The Art Of Noise - "The Ambient Collection" spans their whole career, so it has series 3 and Akai S900. For purely IIx sampling, and an all round great listen, the boxed set "And what have you done with my Body, God?" is superb.

This sound: http://www.madtheory.com/Old%20Strings.mp3 Appears in music by Jarre, AON, U2, Oldfield, The The and Kieth Emerson. But it does not appear on any of the IIx factory discs, as far as I can ascertain. Does anyone know where this sound came from? The version I have there

Hello, I've read that the MFX3 series still contained the CMI functionality, at least up to a certain point. Given that MFX3 machines are comparatively cheap nowadays (significantly cheaper than a Series III): Wouldn't that be an interesting project?

On my site, there is a list of "Top Fairlight Songs Of All Time", most of which were probably done with Series II or IIx. These songs were chosen by an online poll I conducted a while ago. http://www.ghservices.com/gregh/fairligh/topsong/ On 2010-03-09 13:03, blixton wrote: > Id

The album that still impresses me the most: The Art Of Noise - The Ambient Collection. This gives a very good impression of what a IIx can do. By the way, I have a tape somewhere, with a copy of an LP called "Insects", if memory serves me right. Can't find any info about it right

On my Series II, I don't recall any parallel ports, but there was a serial printer port. I even had a small board that went into the Epson FX80+ dot matrix printer that added a serial interface to the printer, so I could print to the Epson from the CMI. I wrote a bit of software

OK... How will you produce sound with your emulator ? And especially how do you control real-time of the filters ? I am curious to hear the result. JB ----- "Philip Bennett" a écrit : > Hi Jean-Bernard, > > I don't understand your question. Could you rephrase it? > > Phil > > On

Yes. The EIII was a huge step forwards. Not just the 16 bit part but just easy to use, decent memory and great sound. Still one of the best samplers around. --- In Fairlight-CMI@yahoogroups.com, "tonefloat01@..." wrote: > > Yes, I have to agree that Waveterm B sounded much better

Ahh, that sounds like my Linn 9000 when I'm sampling kick drums. Think that's why Bruce Forat came up with the Filter mod which also sounds great on Toms and Congas! It's a neat little filter that really works wonders! J --- On Wed, 2/17/10, WT wrote: From: WT Subject: Re: [Fairl

Yes, I have to agree that Waveterm B sounded much better than the IIx for sample quality. However I could never "red line" the input on my Waveterm without it getting totally distorted and unusable. Finally in the end both systems went away for an Emulator III sampler which was m

Gordon, thanx for the info below. That is very much how it sounds. Like a sync-sweep. I guess it is ok then. Doing the testing/calibration of the ADC is not something I´m capable of doing. WT ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gordon JC Pearce" To: Sent: Tuesday, February 16, 20

I´m pretty much convinced that it is working properly. I´ve done numerous testing with lots of sources and everything except an 808-style or 909 kick sounds fine. I guess I´m spoiled with the superior sampling on the Waveterm B ;-) WT ----- Original Message ----- From: "David" To

I remember getting my Series IIx back in 1987 and was actually amazed at how good the actual samples that I made with it. It did a great job with drums especially and when you "red lined" the input it gave the samples a great saturation overdrive quality that was warm and musical

The CMI is 8 bit. You have to be very careful sampling into it. Of course, it may be that yours has issues, but 8 bit sampling is pretty lo fi ! David --- In Fairlight-CMI@yahoogroups.com, "WT" wrote: > > so...after a couple of months noodling about with the CMI IIx, I tried > sa

I´ll see if I can make some samples tonight. Also, I´ll try with a microphone. It seems that the noise is only heard when sampling bass-sounds with decay. Sampling a steady lowpitched waveform ( like a sawtooth ) from another synth doesn´t reveal the noise but that is understanda

Hi, I think it's quite normal to have quite some noise in the samples. I always assign control 1 to damping c2 to filter and c3 on attack on page 7 in that way you have some analog realtime control. with the filter you can usaly kill alot of the noise....than I use EQ on a mixing

I did connect to ADC just now and ran the 909 kick through my desk. Had to use a phase-reverse adapter to get signal into the CMI as it is unbalanced and pin 3 "hot". Made the sound slightly bigger ! Not much, but still larger. However, it still has a large amount of noise on the
