And my look at it is that I don't think it's the main topic as the main topic is construction and running of an emulation program. The hardware that the author is using is a secondary part that is not really interesting at this time. Maybe later. --- In Fairlight-CMI@yahoogroups.

Ok. I thought your response to Peter was a bit too keen, but you may have your reasons for that - whether rightly or wrongly. I don't see any reason for taking this any further, though.

Because this topic is not about whether Macs are good or not, which is exactly the gist of what you replied to. It's not about operating systems: it's about software, even if it IS geared (for now, anyway) for a specific operating system. Think of it this way: talking specificall

Can anyone tell me why Peter K is supposed to be off topic for referring to Macs, when the topic is a piece of software that only runs on Macs? Surely that puts Macs on topic and Peter's comments are prefectly legitimate?

PS. Does it / will it have the option to use other waveforms instead of just sinus in resynthesise, just like the Series II? Is there a difference in the Series III resynthesise?

Pretty nice! Virtual analogue filters in this would be awesome!

That looks fantastic! Most importantly, how will it sound? Will each voice be an emulate the sound of a voice card with variable sample clock playback? Keep us up to date. I'd buy one. Do happen to have any screenshots? Best, David http://dvdborn.blogspot.com --- In Fairlight-CMI

You say that it supports 16-bit Fairlight. I take it this means it also recreates the sound of the Series III? If so, I'd be interested. --- In Fairlight-CMI@yahoogroups.com, "jaddams80" wrote: > > I'm working on a long-term project at the moment that (generally) replicates a fai

I'm working on a long-term project at the moment that (generally) replicates a fairlight. Here's the details of both if anyone is interested? I've got two versions of the program operational. - V1 is a proof of concept and loads saves waveforms in raw format, wav, aif, plus fairl

Hi Malte. The problem you describe is almost definitely caused by a bad master card CMO-02. This card provides various clocks and signals for the channel cards to perform. I have a IIX on my workbench now, with exactly the same problem. I'll get to it next week, and describe what

David is right, it usually is a lithium battery with long lifespan, not a rechargeable niCd. one could replace it with a new one, yes. Or attach a cable to the battery soldering points and put a battery compartment with regular AA batteries elsewhere in the system where leakage i

2012-03-07 by David W Crocombe
I was wondering, why just remove the battery and not replace it with a new one? Is it not a lithium battery with about a 10 year lifespan like in the Series III? It is useful to correctly date stamp created files. I plan on changing my battery when I get my CMI back from Peter Wi

Hi Roland, Most likely the card is not seated properly, try re-seating the card. Removing the battery is all that was needed. The system will forget what the year and time is after you switch it off. Regards, Harald. > Hi all, > > wasn't it advised many times in the past to remov

Hi all, wasn't it advised many times in the past to remove the battery on the CPU card in IIx CMIs to prevent damage on the card in case the battery start to leak ? That's what I remembered. Today I finally removed it, on the CPU card in the slot that reads -133- . Was there anyt

That would be cool, but like you stated earlier, only the fairlight geeks like us would come. Today's music does not carry much importance as it was in the 80's or 90's concerning production tools. Only because Fairlight and Synclavier started a lot of that technology and it was
