Is there any other sound card that could be used. $5000 sound alot in todays market for a sound card. There so many cards out there and alot alot cheaper. Would it not be better going down the virtual route. Software based. I'm working on a system around the Series III but computer based. White 19 inch rack computer case, 2.4 Duel Core processor built in. 500GB hard drive, 4 GB Ram. 19 inch midi 192 sound card 16 ins 16 outs, to a white master keyboard with alot of controllers on it. At the moment i'm looking for a 17 - 19 inch touch screen. All i need is help with the software which i want to base around the series III with aload of modern features and you have a Series IV for about £1500-£1700. Tell me what you think. I know i cant use Fairlight but was thinking of calling it Fairlite Series IV or just Series IV

Date: Thursday, 6 November, 2008, 12:21 PMAt 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.

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.
