Dear Laurent, I'm sorry but I don't understand why you joined this group ? It seems you don't have any Fairlight and not interested to understand its technical difference with the technology available today. If you're only here expecting some Fairlight owners would spend some tim

Too keep things organized here I'm in favor for some basic rules: - No reviews of music or comparisons of musical genres - being a producer/seller and dissing another producer/sellers David http://dvdborn.blogspot.com --- In Fairlight-CMI@yahoogroups.com, Laurent Lemaire wrote: >

Fairlight added on the mfx2 a sample and hold card on every DA to improve dynamic and high frequencies. Phase correlation has been improved for stereo cards too. More precise informations can be found in the service manual. You have the turbo scsi card that speed sound loading an

I actually bought *two* of those 32Meg boards. :-) One for my 6.03 machine, and one "just in case." I can't recall how much memory the 6.03 machine came with; I *think* it was less than the full 14MB. I really liked the idea of someone creating a new board for this old machine, a

I remember hearing that this sound was recorded via a Roland chorus unit. There was also an interview with Klaus Schulze from way back, where he claimed that he made the original sample. Unfortunately I have no references for these claims... There is also the SOS article where Pa

Hi Hallvard, There could be a score of reasons why the Fairlight Arr sounds different to the other examples, the most obvious reason being source of sample, i.e. vocalist / choir. Maybe there was some filtering going on with the original voice and then re-synthesised, I'm not 100

If you don't mind me asking, why did you get a 32 Meg board when you have a 6.03 machine? Do you intend to upgrade it and while these boards were available, decide to grab one while you could? Cheers, Peter On 12/18/06, tama_rat britt@danger.com > wrote: Hi, I bought the Series I

Hi, I bought the Series III machine that came from PUK studios through the Greg Holmes site back in 1998 or 1999. I still have it, and it still works. It's a Rev6. Sadly, it didn't come with any DM samples or sequences. The only indicator that it came from PUK is a box of floppie

Actually, they never used the Wave 2.2. It was a Wave 2. At the time when DM bought the Wave 2 they was promised the possibility to connect it to a Waveterm/Wavecomputer but that never happened. Instead PPG brought out the Wave 2.2 in 1982 which could connect to the Waveterm. DM

Due to today's run of emails I felt compelled to play my IIx for a while and see what it was that I love SO much about the IIx. The sound is amazing, No noise like my emax or mirage just great samples. Dark is a word I would use due to the fact that I am in a industrial/synth pop

Producer Daniel Miller was heavily into the Synclavier, not the Fairlight. Black Celebration is absolutely chock-full of Sync FM sounds. In fact, the distinctive FM synthesis of the Synclavier was all over Construction Time Again, Some Great Reward and Black Celebration. And even

anyway, to come back to the subject, the serie III library has no interest to be read in an other sampler. I converted it, but it lacks of presence, punch and "life" I' m very interested in the new CC1 fairlight card, at last I will perhaps have hundreds of polyphonic voices with
