Hi Laurent, Yes, I would think the CC-1 could do a huge number of tracks. How many would you like? It would use exactly the same variable frequency technology as the CMI. The sound would be identical, except there would be an option to turn off the "special" sound if you want, so

Does anyone know what the SX-20 costs ? Also is there a dealer in the US that sells the CC-1? Kevin Kelley --- On Tue, 11/4/08, Peter Vogel wrote: From: Peter Vogel Subject: RE: [Fairlight-CMI] Fairlight CMI series IV? To: Fairlight-CMI@yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, November 4,

Hello Peter, I think your project is very interesting. Does this mean that the CC1 would be able to emulate the variable frequency technology used in the CMI ? And play many voices in parallel ? Regards. Laurent.

Hello Peter! The possibility of finally owning a Fairlight, even as a software version, is an exciting prospect indeed. I've been a fan of the Fairlight and its sounds for years (I just turned 39 a few days ago) and the question I pose to you is this: would there ever be a versio

Intriguing. If it were going to be $5k it would have to bring significantly more to the table than the original Series III for me to be interested. ; At $5K I'd expect hundreds of voices of Fairlight sounding sampling/synthesis, sequencing, lots of tracks of hard disk recording a

There have been discussions from time to time about replicating the CMI using a software emulation. These efforts will have limited success because the "Fairlight sound" relies on the peculiarities of the hardware used in the original design. In the days when I was the designing
