According to the editorial pages in the January 1989 copy of Music Technology magazine, the Waveform superisor was part of the Rev7 upgrade which was about to be introduced, so I'd guess it would be around that time. This article also stated something which got me thinking in tha

James, Give me a call next week (you have my number I think). I've just finished converting a batch of Series II disks for Colin, and can easily supply you with a copy of v23 (and R2R3) on floppy. Like Laurent says though, this is a time consuming process as you can only convert

When was the Waveform Supervisor added? A lot of these tapes are from around 1988 - 1991/2 My machine is a 9.34 but don't know (yet) what revision the machine was these came from. P --- In Fairlight-CMI@yahoogroups.com, James Thomson wrote: > Hi Peter, > > Could it be that the ta

2005-09-25 by Peter
Hi James, Hmmm, that's an interesting point, regarding pre/post waveform supervisor. Hopefully someone could enlighten or eliminate this possibility :-) My primary hunch is head alignment, second is deteriorated tapes (or at least the dats on the tapes). If I could get hold of a

Hi CJ, I think I have all that is streamer related in my manaul(s). Actually, the MDR info you sent me, I checked the original manual (in proper BIG Fairlight binder) and all this info was in here. Oops. This manual was at work though, locked away in my drawer and I usually just

Hi Peter, No streamer in our CMI. We have 2 internal HDs, so it must have been taken out to make room. We do, however, have info re streamer in our manual if this is of any use. Also, our machine is fitted with 8" floppy drive, rather than 3 1/2. Good for Series 2 file conversion
2005-09-25 by Peter
No worries mate. I understand the time situation myself... It's been mad at work lately. I haven't tried anything with the MDR just yet. I've been trying to get some cool tapes for my streamer working. Not much luck, unfortunately! It could just be that I need to re-allign the he

Hi everyone, Just a follow up... As none of the 30 tapes I was given are readable by my CMI, I tried to write to one of them from my CMI, just to see if the tapes are still functional. The one I tried seems fine and I can successfully write to and from (using TOTAPE & FROMTAPE co

Hi James, Yes, I did use the "v23" util to convert the voice files. I also recall that it is unable to convert some of the IIx sounds... But I don't remember the error message. Best regards. Laurent.
2005-09-25 by James Thomson
Hi Laurent, Yes, it does sound like quite a huge task to convert the voice files. What actual utility did you use to do the conversion ? Did you use the V 23 utility ? I don't know why I don't have this utility on my CMI. J'epere que vous vas bien et merci beaucoup pour le reseig

Hi James, I've converted many (more than 200) IIx sounds on my CMI III a while ago. It's quite a long task as the program converts only one voice file per run. I had to write some scripts to speed up the process. But it was still long... Then, once the file is in the CMI III form

Hi Colin, Many thanks for your email. Yes this would be great if new WFM-32 cards were made available. There have been a lot of promises by a lot of people about a lot of things ,so I am not holding my breath :-) I would order two WFM-32 cards if I could, but maybe one of these y

Hi James I know of someone who will gladly make these cards for a quarter of the price for the forum. What we need is a 32mb card to look at. If someone can get back to me about a loan of the card I promise it will not cost each member no more than £200 which includes vat plus £1

Hi Does anyone out there have a WS card for a Series 3 (running 9.34). We have it on good authority that it is probably knackered and means we can not boot up from harddrive or floppy. If you have one please let us know ASAP (or even if you can fix ours) and we'd be very grateful

The big problem is buying a series III off Ebay is the risk on the machine being dead on arrival. Due to its size with transport and being mishandled and stored incorrectly At best your chances are marginal Normally brokers sell these and they only want to take your bucks. I woul

hmmm well, I didn' t noticed the serie III was so bad in sound. But as a user of MFX2 and Protools, I can tell you that the sound of the fairlight is way better than this crapy Protools. Too bad It only have 24 tracks. I' ve made hundred of projects with those 2 systems linked to

Well to me, it seems like a great price. I'm very surprised it hasn't sold yet, especially it being a 9.34 system. I think the guy is better off with a lower starting price. I've had problems selling things on ebay in the past because of high starting bids... P -----Original Mess

Hi James The DSP96K board fits into a spare ram slot. You configure the dip switches on the DSP96K card depending on how much memory is in the machine. Mine was already setup for 32 meg so I didn't have to configure it.Thats as much as I know. I think its pretty much trial and er

It is indeed Al's IIx. I've lusted after that very machine for nearly 20 years, so it's kind of like fulfilling a long dream. My plan is to slightly restore it. If you've seen the unit, you know that it was covered in duct tape and was part of their live set in the late 80s, so i
