Fairlight-CMI

At this stage it's just an idea, although I'm confident it can be done very
well using the CC-1. The question is how many people would pay say $5,000
for this, when you can buy other soft synths much cheaper.  I would need to
be confident that there is a signifcant market to justify the investment in
developing it. 
 
What do you think it is about the CMI that makes it so special, and does
that still apply today?

Hi Peter 


As a professional composer in electronic music i can tell you that there
would be a lot of people interested in that kind of emulation.
Also you're right with software update, its possible to push further the
concept while using the power of
today's dsp etc...
I guess a 24/32 tracks would be fantastic, and on the other hand the
possibility to switch from a FIIX to a III in terms of the sound i mean
would be really cool.
Are you really working on this ? If its possible to get involved in this
project i would be glad to help.
Best

Hi Laurent,

Yes, I would think the CC-1 could do a huge number of tracks. How many would
you like?

It would use exactly the same variable frequency technology as the CMI.

The sound would be identical, except there would be an option to turn off
the "special" sound if you want, so you just get clean samples.

And of course the CMI emulation would be just one task running on the PC so
you can still run your other favourite toys in a different window.

Hello Peter,

I think your project is very interesting. Does this mean that the
CC1 
would be
able to emulate the variable frequency technology used in the CMI ? 
And play
many voices in parallel ?

Regards.

Laurent.
