SAMPLIGHT 2X + VST (CMI IIX Emulation) quick preview

Published on Dec 15, 2018 Aly James

"Short preview of my upcoming SamPlight 2X+ VST which accurately model the whole Fairlight CMI IIX
The playing itself involves 16 Times oversampling and zero interpolation + analog circuit emulation.
All the quirks of the original are there, including some "JUSTIFY" glitches, loop points scanning artefacts etc..There were some refinement on the usability but do not expect a super fast modern workflow, I tried to kept it as close as can be for a reason!

What is currently done:

PAGE 2 - DISK CONTROL(done: load and save real original .VC files and attached .CO files, version 4.3 and 4.4 including MODE 1 params aka FFT, loading .IN aka Instruments files is in the works..)

PAGE 3 KEYBOARD CONTROL(almost done)

PAGE 4 HARMONIC ENVELOPES(done)

PAGE 5 WAVEFORM GENERATION(done but needs some additional GUI work)

PAGE 6 WAVEFORM DRAWING(done but needs some more work)

PAGE 7 CONTROL PARAMETERS(done)

PAGE 8 SOUND SAMPLING(done, include importing .WAV Files for resampling through the emulated circuitry)

PAGE D WAVEFORM DISPLAY(done, include some other views like POLAR view in addition to the iconics Fairlight ISO an LINEAR views)

PAGE F USER DEFINED FUNCTIONS(done but needs some GUI work)

Lot of things are added within the limitation of what the Fairlight could have done with some extra memory:

- FM Synthesis capabilities, including using waveform memory as a modulator.

- Spectrum Convolution (convolve between 2 spectrum)

- Spectrum Resynthesis manipulation(Harmonic Frequency bins offsets per Harmonic etc..)

- Two ways TimeStrech ( the CMI IIX allowed to increase the duration of the waveform memory only, now you can also reduce it)

More about it soon!"
