Fairlight-CMI

Hi all
It's Colin here. I had to put the 2004 Meeting to one side for 6 
weeks because my 6 year old son Stephen has been threw a great 
ordeal. He was in an intensive care unit for 3 weeks off the 6 weeks 
fighting for his life and the other 3 by his bed in hospital. A few 
members of this forum know about this and I want to openly thank 
them for their great support shown to my wife and I when we needed 
it most. I'm glad to say that Stephen is making a recovery and is 
back home now were the healing process continues.
I want everyone who wants to attend the 2004 Meeting to email the 
forum to state if they will be attending. I need 35-40 in numbers to 
pay for the room and the whole day basically and keep the cost down. 
(I want the day to cost no more than 40UK pounds each) Everyone will 
have access to a very large standard sample bank and a bigger sample 
bank for trading with other users. This alone is worth the price of 
the day. It will be great to me all of you. I will still have a 
couple of special guess on the day and it will happen this time with 
or without me as another Fairlight user will take over if I can't 
attend. BUT I'LL BE THERE!!!!!!!!!   
pmjtaysom thankyou.......if you can bring the instruments, as I will 
be flying in, you will get whatever samples of the largest libraries 
I know for a Series III for your help. I will bring the HD full off 
samples. I have 220 tapes also full of some very interesting samples 
and songs. I have to work out how to get them off tape to a HD as I 
do not have a tape streamer internally. If anyone has an external 
case or Tape Streamer that they could lend me ASAP I will also give 
them a copy of whatever samples and Hits I have.I will have some 
parts, cards and IIx samples on 8" disks. Can anyone who has 
anything that they can share with the rest of the forum please bring 
it along.The Last Saturday in June (if everyone agrees)is the date 
and the venue does not have to be in the middle of London but it has 
to be London for people flying. It has to have internet access to 
link up to Greg and the USA/CANADA members.I'm flying to London 
within the next 2 weeks to finalize the venue. I had a choice of 3 
venues and these at the time was around Islington. I'm staying with 
a friend in the Bedford area the night before so if that area is ok 
I can get somewhere around there. Tell me what you all think.I need 
to work fast. 
I NEED THE NUMBERS ASAP ASAP ASAP SO I CAN BOOK SOMEWHERE. CLOSING 
DATE TO GET YOUR NAME DOWN IS THE END OF MAY. I WANT TO MAKE THE DAY 
SPECIAL SO PLEASE ALL ATTEND. I ALSO NEED ANOTHER SERIES III AND IIX 
OR II FOR THE DAY SO IF SOMEONE CLOSE TO LONDON CAN MAN THEIRS TO 
OVER SEE THE TRADING THAT WOULDALSO BE GREAT. I WANT EVERYONE TO AIR 
THEIR VIEWS.
ONCE AGAIN THANKS TO ALL
BEST AND KIND REGARDS

Colin,

Like everyone on the list, I am glad to hear that your son is well on the
road to recovery.

With regards to the 2004 meet, if we can firm up on the 27th June quickly,
I will definitely attend. I would also like to bring my brother along who,
whilst not owning a Fairlight himself, has spent enough time servicing my
Series III and making foot-pedals etc. to be an 'honorary' owner!

I'm afraid I cannot offer any esoteric items to bring along as my Series
III is fairly standard, however I will try and burn an imaged DVD of my
system drive using CMI Explorer, which I am currently testing.

In terms of the location, for me living in the South East, any location in
or around London would suit.

Thanks to you and to the other guys on the list for putting the time in to
organising what I am sure will be an extremely enjoyable day.

Regards,
Chris.

> I will not be able to attend in June 

Likewise (temporary insolvency as well of lacking the subject of the
metting- but it's second last on my dream list and next in the row,
wish me luck).

> but I hope everybody keeps the group posted as to what went on. 

Somebody bring a digital camcorder, we can post the video in my place 
;-) (12Mbit T3 wire)

In deed, good luck :)
