http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lAuDZfkb7g This is a lengthy documentary cut into pieces. At the end of the 4th piece there is mention of Kate Bush discovering the Fairlight. The link brings you to the start of section 5, the onset to The Dreaming and Hounds of love.

Very good comparison Laurent ! Also consider this: http://www.stradivariusviolins.org/antoniostradivari Around 650 Stradivarius exist today. How many Fairlights exist today ? Which is more rare ? ... And what about an ARP 2500... Regards, Harald. Laurent Lemaire wrote: > When I t

Hello Peter, I think it is a nice machine, and seems in great condition. The price is correct. The only issue for a european guy like me, is the shipment... It's really expensive and when I invest this amount of money, I prefer to pay and pick the item myself. I don't understand

you had better sell your rev9 and buy a real MFX2 A complete upgrade means soldering on every board and there are sometimes 14 steps for upgrading just one card ! the motherboards need upgrades too. This way you will have a buggy MFX2. You will have to find a Turbo scsi card, a D

There was more than one differences between the II and the IIx. It was not only midi. There was a mod/s on the Audio cards and on the later ones they had a slightly different card lay-out when sold. The card had REV upgrades and a few other minors within the mainframe. Actually y
