Fairlight-CMI

For you very privlidged Fairlight CMI II owners,
I entreat you to answer a question of mine. 
Awhile back the question came back what early
sampler sounds the closest to the fairlight and
the conclusion was the ensoniq mirage.  i bought
one and it was kind of similar to my ears. 
though it didn't seem to quite have the same
powerful VCA, and envelopes.

I think I love the Fairlight most not for the
samples but rather for it's additive synthesis
engine, those beautiful Harmonic additive(FM
sounding) sounds run through SSM 2044 VCF's is so
gorgous.

Anyway, does the additive synthesis section of
the fairlight sound close to anything else you
have tried?  From my ears the casio cz series
does the best to emulate fairlight sounds
especially using a little EQ and running the
sound through the analog chorus section on my
casio cz5000. it warms up the sound *kind of*
like a VCF.  

Yamaha FM is not "musical enough", and of course
I wouldn't have access to a synclavier.

Anything else out there.

Micah
