fairlight cmi 11x on ebay
Re: [Fairlight-CMI] fairlight cmi 11x on ebay +lightpen question
2007-01-20 by Peter K.
Just wondered what the flatcable and black box is
doing there. So I asked.
This is the answer: "Its the MIDIbox , flatcable is
the midi connection to the
IIX , orginal retrofitted by Fairlight ."
IIX , orginal retrofitted by Fairlight ."
Now I own a IIx and as far as I know, the "x" has
MIDI fitted, on the backside of the mainframe.......
So, this is not a "real" IIx.
There is no pen I think, I asked but got no answer
on that.....
However, it's still worth buying it, if you want
one, the IIx is pretty rare nowadays.
I read that it's hard to get a lightpen.
(Impossible?). Is it not possible to build some?
Cheers,
Peter.

Hello Peter,
To me, the MIDI interface was an option on the CMI IIx. The main
difference
between the Fairlight II and the IIx was the 6809 CPU replacing the
6800.

Hope it helps.
Laurent.1982 Additive synthesis-tell us about it!
2007-01-20 by M.J.B.
We talk about the samples of the fairlight but I find discussions about the additive synthesis side to be much more seldom. 1. Can some one post some examples of the a-synthesis capablities of the fairlight? 2. Can some one tell us whether the additive synthesis was 8 bit as well or was it higher then the samples DAC? 3. Can some one tell us if there is anything out there today that can closely appromixmate the A-synthesis sounds? For instance I know that Yamaha DX7 used 12 bit DAC convertors, so it was not as warm as the fairlight but is dx7 FM close to the sound? 4. I've messed around with ADSYNDX, an additive synthesis program online-it sounds good but not as warm and big as the fairlight sounds I've heard using additive. In fact, it seems the envelopes on the Fairlight Additive stuff were very fast. Basically does anyone know of any other 8 bit digital synths in that era-FM, or anything else?
