I think the company has last for over 10 years.
Just time had to catch up sometime in this business,if you look now these days,a small computer and the right program realy does the same job,and faster.
This is just the way it goes in those days.

Quick spin. They saturated the market already. Anyone willing to pay tens of thousands of dollars for a musical workstation had already done so. Fairlight was also investing and doing R&D on DSP technology. Well ahead of their time. Of course in the past few years, ALL digital musical workstations use MASSIVE DSP's. The other killer was that computers were becoming more and more powerful, such as the Macintosh.

woa this video is pure nostalgia!

Why did they go broke. I would love to know the full story. That is why a world transforming technology supported by so many high profile figures went to the wall. Was it simply because new chip technologies superseded the Fairlight or was it lack of government venture capital? A kind of Technology Tragedy. Someone explain please. I've read dom stuff on the net but I does not make this clear.

I didn't see not one any Fairlight CMI in there going cheap.

Sorry for my bad English (:>).
In 2 words :
"FFT" permits to store analog signals as a frequency dependant numerical function and "inverse FFT" permits to find back initial analog signal.
"Nyquist's Criterium" postulates that sampling frequency must be the double of max initial signal frequency to get back analogic signal.
Both are well known by worldwide students.
cheers !!.
