Hi all, Never having used a Fairlight series III, I always wondered how the stylus and tablet on the alpha keyboard work. How do you know what your selecting on the screen? Is there a cursor (like a mouse) so you can see what is happening? Does it work similar to the light pen on

Hi all! Recently acquired a CMI IIx in good working condition. Started off by making a fresh copy of the "ignition key" since it was almost broken in two. Just finished a complete cleaning of the alpha-keyboard, the main-keyboard is next. Not sure if this has been done before (if

That's exactly what it is. They used to give us those as new libraries were released. It was used as a sales tool. I think they also came with the streaming tape for previewing. Harald Feldmann wrote: It likely is a demo tape to show off the new sounds in the library. If you can

It likely is a demo tape to show off the new sounds in the library. If it is cheap, sure, get it :) I have such a tape for the NED Synclavier, shows off various capabilities of the Synclav. Has a track from a movie scored by Alan Silvestri called clan of the cavebear. Best regard

Hi Dustin, Welcome! Peter Wielk may have some Fairlight units left for sale, if you are searching for a series III. Prices may vary but start around USD 3,000 without any warranty. They can go up to USD 10,000. A Fairlight is seriously heavy and can barely be lifted ergonomically

Hello Dustin I bought both my CMI 3 and my Synclavier 2 on eBay... But be ready to repair or service the machine before using it. And be carefull... There are many scam auctions reusing Fairlight and Synclavier past auction descriptions. Hope it helps. Laurent.

Hi all, I just joined recently, as I take a great interest in the Fairlight CMI/Synclavier instruments (even at age, 15 I have come to appreciate these two technological marvels, and find them superior). If I may ask, where did all of you aquire your Fairlight CMI systems? It is

Hello Roland, You're right, I just discovered it. That's strange, Colin joined my group and didn't told me... Anyway, I do hope this new group will have at least the same success as the Fairlight one. With JB's help, we already have put many cool stuff in this group. Have a look

Hi, I am a proud new owner of this wonderful machine. Only problem is lack of diplay data, only a green raster displayed. Having searched the web, I can only find service manuals for Series II and above. Does anyone know where to get a PDF version for Series I ? Thanks simalrow
2005-11-02 by Harald Feldmann
:) Well, there may be a loose cable, connecting when the drive is in a certain position, or the head assembly may have been offset a bit and the heads make a proper connection only when upside down. Alternatively, a card may be making a false connection, except when upside down.

I don't know if anybody came accross to this problem: On loading a System disk on my IIx I get the message: "Can't load midi". Does it mean that it can't find the midi interface or the System disk is too old? The System Disk I'm using is a Rev 4.0 and it says also Midi 68k on it.

Hi, I re-read the mails I got from the seller back then and he indeed stated that Chris Hughes used both the IIx and the III on TFF and Wang Chung albums. You are both right. Rumour has it that Roland Orzobal later got a different III (serial number 050), which was upgraded to an
