Curious your vision ... You accuse UVI has what you apply to your own video ... it is easy way :) You are a "profesional" because you have a Fairlight CMI III (rev 9.34 probably) is a machine closer to that of the CMI III MFX2. And therefore totally different from CMI IIx ! Why s

As WT says, just make your plugin able to read 8" diskette images pulled from the original libraries. They definitely exist, and you can make 'em yourself, too. Happy to answer questions. Joe On Jun 23, 2012 2:21 AM, "Gordon JC Pearce" gordon@gjcp.net > wrote: On 22/06/12 17:18,

Thanks for letting us know about this. I agree, it isn't very impresssive behaviour from the company.

I had made a comment on the product on youtube, it wasn't positive so.... I got BANNED by the company...! They don't seem to like negative comments from people that really know the sound of the machine... They censored my comment while they opened their youtube page for comments

Thanks. It'll be interesting to see how this turns out. I wasn't impressed with the demo video, though. Horrible sounds and a lot of hype and vague promises. I'm not that easily put off, though. More information and some proper demos, or even a time-limited demo version would be

Hello, UVI has just released a Fairlight CMI IIx VST's, the sample sounds come from my CMI IIx. They have work three days to sample big part of the original Fairlight Bank, plus some extra personal sounds. You can see the traler video like is in "Tron" style: P Regards, JB

Hi Peter and the rest.. I'm running the Series 3 MFX2 in polyphonic mode now, and it's a breeze to use it as a sound source, connecting it and putting polyphonic parts to selected mixer channels. I noticed a level drop on some cards, but reseating the back side audioboards fixed

I've got 808 samples on my series 3, and i think it's library stuff. I don't think a fairlight excells in replicating 808 sounds, but the quality shines through sampled acoustic sounds, like percussion, where transients are crucial for a hifi sound. A lot of the factory sounds ar

Think twice about selling your series 3. You will never get one again, and it's sound is not just lightyears ahead, it's from another dimension. I'm a Akai / Emu user since 1989 and was a real fan of the S1100's sound and sonic pressure, but the series 3 just fascinates me, it's

Coming back to this topic a bit late. Massive amounts of work and a computer crash to boot.... Syncing to a SMPTE-track will only work properly when you use the CMI as the masterclock for everything else. Just splitting the SMPTE-track into both the CMI and ASQ will introduce sli

Hi Karel. The pinouts are as follows. You might want to draw them out on paper first, and you'll see how the 8 balanced cables logically go from top to bottom of the 25 pin connector. Columns are: pin, channel, polarity. All 3 connectors are wired identically. 1 n/c 2 8+ 3 7ov 4

Greetings Joerg, Regarding Thriller, I do not know the history there - my involvement was in the early 90's with the Series III; given the time of Thriller, it would have been a Series II (which I also had, but I was not in Los Angeles yet). As for the reason for selling the Seri

Greg, as far as I vaguely remember, there is a limitation regarding the usable disk size in the OS that is either at 4 GB (or even at 2 GB?). And a transfer speed size inherent in the SCSI interface. So the main advantage from newer drives might be limited to them being more quie

Hi Elan. The IIX will start and sync from SMPTE. Just define the start point on (for example) RS, preferably a few seconds in, so the CMI has time to lock up. If you select "chase", RS will pick up where ever you drop in, so for example half way through a song it will find itself
