To be honest I could care less about the package. I like your idea about something like the Neko but a simple PCI/PCI-E card would be fine for me. As for interface: a Wacom pad would be acceptable as far as I'm concerned 'cause this thing will really just be a cc-1 card at it's c

Hey folks, Peter Vogel's site at http://www.fairlightinstruments.com/ clearly states: "The projected price is approximately US$17,000 and the additional music keyboard option US$2,000. This includes delivery worldwide (but not taxes if applicable)." That's UNITED STATES DOLLARS.

The writer of the post below has not got a clue "Al Curatolo" I own a IIx and had 2 Series III until Coldplay bought one if he's hinting at me which he is. Dont give me "the price is the price" when peter held off and kept us waiting and wouldnt give us a price till he worked it

Thanks so much for the great response! Your list of features is impressive So I am curious to know what kind of package you would like this system to be in ? Are you thinking separate components like the existing CMI's, or perhaps something different? My thoughts are varied Here'

Hi All, I think the 30A is a great idea and hope it will reach the market. From my point of view, it would be interesting to know if the artists who made the Fairlight success (and signed the CMI keyboard) would be interested by the 30A project. Some of them are still in the msic

I guess I don't understand the hostility and why some folks are so upset about this. The price is the price. If it's too expensive then don't buy it or look at alternative systems. The fact that this instrument is even being made at all is a good thing. This product has a very li

Colin, You sound very upset and I do not understand why. I have not read that Peter said he 'handed it over' to Fairlight. To my understanding he referenced to Fairlight.au for service regarding those component that will make up the 30A (in particular the CC-1). Very much like yo

Peter, a few thoughts and questions regarding he Series 30A. - Dynamics and EQ? Any chance of including the channel section from the Fairlight Dream system? - Voice characteristics. Switching between a IIx, III and 30A, is that selectable per voice or set for the whole system, or

A good point. The 30A will use3 standard Fairlight components, the same as used in the Fairlight range of pro audio products (see www.fairlightau.com) so support will be available from them and their worldwide distributors as well as Fairlight Instruments. Also note that Peter Wi

This is a question specifically for Peter Vogel, presumably, but I thought I'd ask it here rather than directly as it has general relevance. Now the Fairlight is about to become available again as a new instrument, does this affect copyright on Fairlight samples in any way? For e

Interesting. Count me out at $20k but I hope they sell all of them so that there can be a series IV. If there is a series IV I would hope that it would just be a card with software that I could plugin to the PC of my choice. The one feature that I would really like to see is an i

An FPGA card like the CC-1 is all-digital, so it will be challenging and time-consuming (although not impossible) to model the imperfections in the analog circuitry of the Fairlight II/III. I would prefer to see the 30th Anniversary system as a standard PC with CC-1 card and SX-2

2009-08-09 by Peter Vogel
We're hoping to have some more detailed specs this week, however I can answer a few questions in general terms. The CC-1 can perform very complex algorithms and lots of them, with almost no latency. So yes, we are modelling the quirky hardware of the CMI. The sound of each CMI wa
2009-08-08 by Rob Puricelli
The Fairlight CMI 30A will be based around the CC-1 FPGA card from the current Fairlight company. It will be used to recreate the EXACT circuitry of the original Fairlights within it's FPGA structure. It will be, in Peter's own words, an exact virtual recreation of the CMI II & I

I don't think that they will do all that R&D just to produce 100 Series 30A's and keep it at that. I'm guessing that once they're sold out the new software instrument will be available to existing or future CC-1 card users. Does anybody know how much a CC-1 card costs? Google did
