Hi all,

I think the same Tobias way... Even if, I am Fairlight and Synclavier user, and 
other synthetizers.

For the professionals most important is the reliability of the machine and the 
return on investment !

And obviously as for all the price !

Me, I practise the music in leisure, is not my work !

Therefore, I am not in this commercial logic !

I seek machines which bring a reality more in spite of the constraints of 
reliability and support of maintenance, which is inenvisageable by a professional !

Is for that I use Fairlight CMI IIx, some Synclavier and also that I' still use 
of NeXT Cube IRCAM with 10 DSP (http://jbemond.free.fr/?cat=20) !

Therefore, one CMI IV is interesting, but what obstructs me is the fact that 
needs a dedicated PC for this application…

And that for the CC-1 turns only under Windows (is badly because not fiable in 
the time).

It is certain that when Fairlight left this small jewels, they had once more 
advances compared to competition and mainly Digidesign which do not like the CC-1 !

Elsewhere, Digidesign systematically remove all the messages which spoke about 
it on their forum ;) amusing not:)

For me, I like have some new functions in the CMI IV :

Like : Tempo and sample tools, bpm and tempo calculators to help us to deal with 
samples, time-stretch, pitch-shifting, calculator and tools for know : tempo, 
delays, sampling, rates, sample lengths, notes, sampling, frequencies, hertz, 
beats, measures, drum loops, transposing.

I am always interested by what is done of nine ;)

I like to grope to feel the machine !

Best regards,

JB
