I'm 99.9% certain this one is dodgy: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=23785&item=3774697528&rd=1 I also have slight suspicions about this one too, but I could be wrong. It may be genuine: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=23784&item=

Hi Daniel, So far the manual copies have not arrived. I would really appreciate it if you could make some safety copies just in case. A couple of thoughts on things to do with Fairlight. A lot of people expect to get Fairlight CMI 2X and CMI 3 stuff really cheap these days. I thi

Hi James, First, my apologies for misspelling your last name! I feel I got what the system was currently worth, no more, no less (and am definitely happy). The pitiful strength of the US dollar could have squeezed a little more out of an international sale, but I'm just a private

Hi Daniel, Thanks for your kind words,I was more than happy to help ! I am pleased to see that you got the right price for your CMI 2X system. My feelings are that the 2X CMI's are only going to get more expensive. When did we last see a CMI 2X for sale ? Having said that,when di

I finished cleaning the CPU and am now moving to the music keyboard of my CMI IIx. Is there a special way to clean the contacts? Anyone have any tricks. I am afraid of breaking the springs. Do they get brittle with age Is there a replacement anyone has found for them? Thanks for

Ah, right. I didn't know about these! What are the differences? Where would be the best place to seek these out? To be honest, I'm still waiting for Peter Wielk to send me a replacement 337, as well as some other bits & bobs. I've been waiting over a year now, so I'm beginning to
2004-12-17 by David J. Wilson
Hey Peter, if your CMI-337 is on the fritz, you might consider switching to the newer ESP-348. They seem to be more readily available, since they shipped them with MFX2 systems too. sorry, don't have any spares that I can part with. David --- In Fairlight-CMI@yahoogroups.com, "Pe

QuickLok 4-legged stands work very well for my gear. Very robust (and heavy too). I don't trust the X-shaped ones with the heavy keys (especially the kurzweil keyboard). I tend to keep the CPU away from my keyboards. Regards, Harald.
2004-12-16 by James Thomson
Hi, That stand which you are talking about was actually designed by Fairlight themselves for the CMI 2X. These stands are extremely rare. I have only ever seen one CMI 2X for sale with this stand. It will also work with the series 3 as well. I hope you are enjoying your CMI 2X !
2004-12-16 by kar_chicago
In a lot of pictures of the CMI IIx, I see it on a cool stand where the cpu fits neatly underneath. What stands do you guys use? Or do you just have it on a desk?

Hi guys, no, I don't have a CMI (drool), that's why I have to approach you lucky people and ask: what exatly does the 3D graph of the waveform on page D actually show ? A waterfall diagram of the sound, i.e. time, frequency and intensity ? Or what else ? thanks :-) Diego

Hi Brian, yes, the 9.34 upgrade should be considered a "technical" matter. sadly, owning a CMI today is not really for the casual user or non-technical person, as there is no factory support from Fairlight anymore. as such, you have to know quite a bit of the nuts & bolts of the

Hi David & Laurent When I was looking at the 9.34 upgrade at Peter Wielks page some time ago it seemed that the upgrade was a big installation and a job for a technician, not for the end-user. Is it still possible to get the upgrade and how easy is it to install? I'll consider th
2004-11-27 by David J. Wilson
I agree with Laurent, you should upgrade the 6.03 machine to 9.34 just so you can have up to 4GB-size SCSI hard drive support. then you can use a whole slew of cheap, commodity 1GB, 2GB, 4GB SCSI hard drives with your CMI. I bought four of the Seagate Barracuda 4GB drives (cheap

You can also see it in the "Sunrise" Video. A while back, Nick said that while he had most of his old synths from the good ol' days, his CMI was MIA, but I guess he found it. It is just a showpiece though. He doesn't actually use it anymore. --- In Fairlight-CMI@yahoogroups.com,

Hello Brian, If your CMI is a rev 6.03 (with a CMI-33 wave processor) and not an upper release level (with the CMI-41 wave supervisor), the only hard-disks which are compatible are not SCSI one... The hard-disks were ESDI with a converter board from Adaptec. This board was able t
