Building a Fairlight CMI: Episode 15


video upload by Syntaur

"It's a holiday double-header, with two Fairlight episodes back-to-back!

Cris Blyth is a brave man. He has a dream of taking a Fairlight MFX and upgrading it to a Fairlight CMI Series III. In this episode, Cris gives the Fairlight a bit of a shower, then comes to his senses (sort-of) and learns to do screen printing with hopes of completing the front panel. A sneaky cheat brings on a momentary sense of elation - is the end in sight?"

  1. Hey Chris, have you thought about what you are going to do when you have finally finished this insanely great project? Might I suggest restoring a fully spec'd out, Synclavier 6900, tapeless recording system with all of the options? That is the one I always lusted after way back when (despite the fact that I now have far more music making power sitting on my desk)? Think about it? You would become a hero amongst us oldsters who are old enough to have been alive when these things where the cutting, nay, bleeding edge of digital music making systems (and also cost about what a decent house went for in Los Angeles back in 1978, 79 (which is where I grew up btw). Just a thought — in case you haven't been reduced to a pile of burning rubble yet.
