While I agree that it\u2019s probably about the closest that you can get, it\u2019s still a FAR cry from sounding authentic. I\u2019ve tried it with several different kinds of hardware and, to be polite, it kind of DOES sound like crap. Those samples through the Fairlight hardwar

While the playback through whatever gear you choose will lack the Fairlight filters and pitch-shifting characteristics, it is not crap and is probably the best you can do without actually using a Fairlight. It is redily available here: http://www.cafepress.com/zzizzle/154081 Good

That CD is crap. I got mine about 10 years ago from there office in NYC. I dont have the time to see if I still have it. Good luck with the search. I'm not impressed with it. --- yazzofever wrote: > Looking to buy the pro rec fairlight II sample cd > from anyone who wants > to ge

2008-01-31 by Peter Connelly
How does the Fairlight pitch shifter work in comparison to other samplers, such as Giga or contact? I did notice playing a single sample was a lot more gratifying on the CMI as oppesed to playing it on another, regular sampler. Cheers, Peter On Jan 23, 2008 11:03 PM, paradyse_jam

I managed to convert all my Fairlight sounds 1 year ago directly from my Hd' s using cmios9 ( kmi ), but you lost the fairlight filter + its particular pitch shifting ( from 5hz to 200 khz) + its unique sound- converters. So you can imagine the sounds are hmmm near useless. Final

Reading the review in keyboard mag this month, it states that Giga can import Fairlight format samples. Has anyone on the list used this facility? How good is it? Does it work with CMI HDs connected via SCSI on your PC?

Hi David, I checked and some cards have it, some don't. It is possible that the ones originating from IIxes have the mod. I have cards coming from III and IIx. I also checked the manuals briefly for a mention of a mod, but could not find it in the limited time I have right now. B

Hey David, Fwiw, the CPU card on my series III has the rework wire, the CPU card on my IIX does not. I don't know if that's consequential or not. Might be worth checking out? are the IIX and III CPU cards interchangeable? Also, the ROMs on the series III card are marked with diff
2007-11-29 by dvdborn
Hi Harald, I learned that the card did, indeed, not work in its current state. Someone else already removed all the parts that where destroyed by the battery acid. The CMI was operating correctly before the battery accident happened. So I'm hoping that by repairing/rebuilding the

Hi David, I find the picture a bit odd, the battery is supposed to be on the round part which is at the bottom of your picture. The part that looks very corroded is the crystal. It would seem to me that the crystal is covered in oxide. **If it worked before like this*** , maybe j

Hi, I've taken upon me the daunting task of restoring a Series IIx. When it went into storage it was still working fine. But that was before the battery decided to spill its acid all over the CPU control card. I'm guessing that someone else already has done some work on the card

I think Vince Clarke's equipment sale has been mentioned before, but I'm not sure if the ebay sale of the Fairlight has? My apologies if it has. The good news is there's no reserve price. The bad news is you'd need to take boot disks and maybe all the missing bits with you to tes
