New Fairlight CMI IIx owner in town
2008-03-18 by greghavok
Hello everyone, I'm a proud Fairlight CMI IIx owner since 50 days ago and loving every sec of it :) More details on my personal affair with the Fairlight before the end of the week. It turns out my Fairlight wasn't exactly "well preserved" when I acquired it and needed a bit of restoration though it was mostly aesthetic. Nevermind that, every single disk containing the original sample library is damaged beyond hope, except perhaps the second one which can be partially read every now and then. I suppose the only reason the disk containing the actual Fairlight software survived intact was the fact that it was kept in the floppy drive from the very day the tower was left abandoned with the rest of the instrument apparently back in 1992 (sad story) Question is, can any of you Fairlight fellows rip the original sample library and share it with me? all I managed to get my hands onto was a couple of CD's with "samples of the samples" in redbook and wav formats, which quite obviously the Fairlight can't handle. I already have everything ready to transfer the files to a set of freshly formatted 8" diskettes which also costed me a lil fortune ;) Best regards.
