@dvamateur There is just one little little problem, these days you don't find a synth or workstation that comes with this the type orchestra hit like the one at 1:13. Most likely you'll have to sample it from this very video.

@CeeCeeGuitar I'm slightly dissapointed he didn't end any sentence with "..like some kind of BASTARD" here mind.

:D This guy teaches at teesside uni... he is one wacky guy :)

@MrWoofington It's actually extremely difficult to get anything "musical" out of drawing random waveforms like you could on the CMI. Most of the things one draws end up sounding like a sine wave or something similarly boring. Useful waveforms have a complexity that can't be mimicked by dragging a light pen (or mouse) up and down a bunch of times.
-
is there anything like that waveform drawing interface for modern DAWs ie. reason, logic, protools?
-
Page 6 is rather exciting. I can imagine spending countless hours drawing and combining waveforms to create new sounds.

@BigLesbowski Sent you message with details. Cheers!
-
@sleat Ok, explain me - I'm interested.

@BigLesbowski WRT skipping, I must say it again to defeat the extreme density of the material I'm trying to penetrate with unequivocal facts. Transposing a sample (or n samples) upwards and rendering into an output chan. of ANY bandwidth need NOT entail skipping ANY samples. Using all is precisely what the 30A algorithm does. It uses hardware DSP to render to any selected output sampling rate without skipping any samples from the source material, period, and I can prove it whenever you like.

PC, FL studio? Ah Ah Ah, are u joking?
First, nothing sounds like a fairlight, even today. It add a lot of presence to the samples and has an unique organic feel.
It's like having 8 tasty high-end soundcards, each of which is dedicated to one oscillator, itself able to detune its own clocks on the flight!
I'm still awaiting to see these features on any of the modern big ass mux/demux soft/hard synth/samplers that sounds dull in comparaison! Sometimes, few Mb samples sound better than Gb garbage!

Good old days. Now you can do this kind of thing on a PC, but to my taste it looks very cheesy from outside to sit in front of a PC. And don't get me wrong, the sounds from a PC are awesome. It's just too many people have access to it, and it's just not amazing anymore. Fairlight, on the othe hand, it was amazing. And only qualified people could put their hands onn it.
