The SynclavierX editor may become a stand alone synth.
Via Synclavier.com:
"But here is where I need your help - all of you - former N.E.D. customers, employees and well-wishers alike. I have to turn SynclavierX into a saleable product that has a larger potential customer base than just the original Synclavier® users. I hope to accomplish that expanding SynclavierX to actually recreate the sounds of the original Synclavier® system. This can be done by digitally modeling the original FM and Poly Sampling voice cards under the control of the SynclavierX Application. I have everything I need to do that except for possibly the time and the patience..."

Laudable & ambitious but one has to question the feasibility given that, to faithfully recreate a Fairlight CMI IIx, Peter Vogel required a serious DSP card (Fairlight Crystal Core CC-1) to do it. Those babies cost about $5K alone.
ReplyDeleteI hope he proves me wrong, but if he does do this, and pulls off a faithful recreation, both sonically and practically, I fear it won't be as simple as a VSTi plug in.
Peter Vogel did come out with the Fairlight for the iPad. The first thing that came to mind when I read this was just that. A Synclavier on the iPad would be nice.
