Fairlight-CMI

Dear all,

Confession time: I don't own a Fairlight :-( but I am a great admirer 
and I did briefly play a Series III at a trade show in 1986 at Earls 
Court, London (ahem when I was 15!).

I have lots of other samplers thought: Emax Se, Emax II, Casio FZ-1, 
Ensoniq EPS 16+, Mirage (currently dead) and two (British hurrah!) 
Cheetah SX-16 (did someone say aliasing?).

I have a tape from the defunct UK Electronic music magazine 
Electronic Soundmaker and Computer Music from February 1985 if memory 
serve me correctly.

It features Vince Clarke (Depeche Mode, Yazoo etc) putting his 
Fairlight II/IIx through the paces with a Linn Drum.

I can MP3 this and load it up to the files section.  Are people 
interested in this?

Furthermore, I found an old Betamax tape (oh yes!) with a UK BBC 
program from about 1985 on it about synths in general.  There is a 
short clip of Kendall Wrightson from Syco Systems, London, 
demonstrating a IIx.  It is only a few mins long.  I can digitise 
this and upload it to you guys.

Is anyone interested in this?

My question is what's the best format?  I can do AVI or MPG or Divx, 
I don't think I can do MOV.  I can grab at full DVD quality but 
obviously the file will be huge.  What final file size would people 
be happy to download, 5MB? This is the Yahoo file upload limit any 
way.  Perhaps someone with an FTP server will allow me to upload it 
there - any takers?

I don't want to deny Mac users either.  Divx is the best quality for 
size. http://www.divx.com/

Sorry for the questions.

If I get no replies, I'll just go ahead and do a best guess and 
upload the result to the files section.

Regards
