  • I'd like to see a Qasar M8; I understand that it was the first multiprocessor synthesizer- one processor which ran the main OS and another which controlled tone generation and shaping.

  • @666laughingtarget yes they did have this then, problem was ......you had to take out a mortgage for a palace to afford one. Why the surprise?!! Actually that was a "light pen"(created in 1952 at MIT) which had to be held to within a half an inch of the display to work. Oh yeah & touch screen technology was thought up in the mid 1960's.....the idea has always been around, I guess it just depends on the holder of the patented technology & who they'll cut the deal with & Apple control their own!

  • @theinck Maybe I'll make an app that does this...

  • I didn't know you could do wavetable synthesis with the CMI.

  • The link doesn't seem to be working?

  • If only you could do this on an iPad.

  • wait, they could do this back then? sorry, but that was a touch screen. where did this go? seems really cool. then they made me play mouse on an apple. a commodore 64 was better. but this is incredible.

  • Ah, the famous Fairlight! :)) 

  • Awesome, intuitive idea. 

  • Great feature on the Fairlight II and produces some useable and nice sounds. Anyway, the PPG Waveterm has the same feature. You have 64 waveform in a row, in a wavesequence. You synthesize some waveforms and store them, then you call any up any and fill each to the slots of the wavesequence and you can also ask the Waveterm to interpolate the gaps between the given waveforms, exactly the way you see here. Very clever and useable and yet very complex machine even today.
