Soliciting opinions from those with experience on both machines. I am a former CMI IIx owner, loved it (obviously), but had to sell for financial reasons a few years ago - was buying a house at the time. That being said, I have the opportunity to buy an Emu Emulator I with litera

Thank you for the tip. I will look into that. I wonder if anyone has any details on how the pen actually works? HOw similar is it to the light pen of the IIx?How similar is it to the graphics pens of today (like Wacom products?). What is that tip made of? Thanks. --- In Fairlight

I have recently acquired Peter Connelly's Series III, and, as he mentioned, the plastic at the end of the G-Pen chipped and won't hold the tip in. Does anyone have any ideas for fixing this? I have tried rebuilding the sheath with plastic, but it won't hold the tip in place. Any

Interesting reply Tobias. Yes, you're right, experiencing a IIx would help. However, I like the idea of a plugin (or something like that) for say, NI Kontakt, that would emulate the transposing and AD-DA path of classic samplers such as the CMI. Perhaps it would require sampling
2007-10-26 by Tobias Enhus
The inherent problem with a DA converter is the fixed samplerate vs dynamic samplerate of sample systems like Fairlight and NED. This is a topic that has been discussed many times, and it's a huge part of the sound of these classics (also a big reason why they're so expensive). H

Hi Tobias, What converters would you recommend for a CMI II type of sound? I have tried many- TX16W, DMP7, PCM F1; none of these have that sound I think I hear on records... :) > Csound has a very "computeresque" clean sound quality > when un manipulated. However together with a

I'm a huge fan of all things additive. Software and hardware, anything goes! My main tools for additive are, a Synclavier 9600 with 32voices of FM, Kyma and Csound. I have also used a ,CMI IIx, K5000, and the very rare ,TECHNOS Axcelizer, on several occasions. All great noise mak
2007-10-24 by Tristan Upton
All instruments tend to have their own sound and I don't know if you are going to find something else that sounds just like a Fairlight CMI series II. Two other samplers that include additive synthesis and analog filters are the Casio FZ-1 and the Emu Emax. Of course, neither of

2007-10-23 by Laurence Shields
I think the Camel Audio Cameleon plugin is one of the best additive engines around at the moment. For hardware, the Kawai K5000 is the way to go. Either of these pretty much eats the IIx's lunch soundwise when it comes to additive synthesis. If you just want to imitate (not impro

The PC hooks up to the Fairlight using a RS232 port, so a cable will need to be made. This will either be a 25 pin (PC end) to 9 pin (Fairlight end) or a 9 pin to 9 pin depending on the connector used on the PC side. All the information is in the help file after you install the p

Hi guys, Just my 2 cents. As far as I'm aware the HD card of the series III seems to be hardware compatible with the IIx, but can only be controlled through OS9. I'm thinking about another route however. One which wouldn't involve hardware changes. It should be possible to create
