Recent Fairlight (Keyboard) sighting on BBC TV

The switch-CEM 3320 to SSM 2044

2008-05-30 by M.J.B.

Maybe Peter or someone else could answer this question.

When did the Fairlight CMI II switch VCF's, from cem 3320's to SSM 2044?  Can you give me a rough idea say, all units sold in 1981-2 were CEM, 1983 started with SSM?

Also, has anyone ever compared the sound differences between a CEM or SSM model?  Do they sound the same?  different?  any comments?

I think because the CEM 3320 are end of life in 1983 ?
