Fairlight CMI on "This Week" ABC TV

its timelapse motherfucker

JAN HAMMER MIAMI VICE THEME.

Jean Michel Jarra, Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream used it, so naturally its THE cult object in retro-synth! I guess an Iphone could do that now.

it was amazing for it's time.
i recoded some stuff back in the 80s. the band i was with at that time, used a fairlight cmi which belonged to producer Trevor horn of the Buggles.
the orchestral string sounds of the fairlight completely blew us away.
for those people that could afford the £60.000 price tag it was well worth it.
a friend of mine sold his old fairlight for £2000.
personally i think he should have kept it, but he needed the money.

he looks like yanni lol

wow, do you hear the loudness of the floppy drive head reading the disk!!! awsome!!!

Any Software out there today that lets you draw Harmonics?
I remember with N.I. Absynth you could draw the Waveform, but cannot remember if you can actually draw the harmonics.
Amazing machine alright, was Light years ahead of its time, excuse the pun!

What an amazing machine indeed!

ahaha

Timelapse sort of sounds like the Terminator theme!
