Original Fairlight Brochure

via this auction via Loscha. If anyone knows when this was from please comment. Click on the image to read.

"4 panel front and back full color. I'm not an expert on Fairlight, but, I'm pretty sure it's from the first series: has 8" floppies and the 6809 CPU add on is listed as being available for it (so you can run a bit of COBOL or Pascal in your spare time). In excellent condition except for a tiny dog ear on front , as shown in scan.

As some book somewhere put it .... Trailblazing Megabuck Sampling! This brochure reflects that, quite well I feel. Has some info about the different "Pages", as well as the old schtick "you can sample Tim Shaw cutting through a cactus with a Demtel knife" or whatever example they using for sampling! 210 K or RAM is Standard in this reality. MIDI not even mentioned. Sounds can be "memorized" to disc. No sound degradation copying sounds! Inbuilt 20w amp for monitoring (gosh those boys and gals thought of everything!)"

via Loscha: "If anyone could let me know what series it is, I'd be thrilled. No date I can see on it anywhere."

Update: Note "It has the old Logo on it, which I think they changed when they went to IIx."

Analogue Heaven Northeast 2009

AHNE 09 YouTube via stretta
"Once a year, analog synth enthusiasts gather to socialize and play rare and unusual musical instruments. I captured the May 2009 gathering with a Canon 5DmkII and a 50mm f/1.4 lens. I simply sat the Camera on a tripod, frame the shot as I would a photo, focused and captured.

The music was produced using a Euro-format analog modular, controlled by Volta. Aside from the drums (MOTU BPM), everything was analog."

360 Systems MIDI BASS Guitar Synth

via this auction
"delivers bass samples. There are 4 sounds, 1 sounds like an acoustic bass, 2 like an electric with a fat, full tone, 3 with a thinner sound, 4 is a slap bass. A cool collectors item or a good tool if you're trying to sound retro as these were pretty popular back in the day."

Moog modular system 55 sequencing demo

YouTube via scienceforce

"This is a Moog modular system 55 from middle '70 years. The psu was restored and wood cabinets have been remade with the same high quality components and dimensions. This system is FULLY working and customized with a 904A filter in plus (less the noise and blank panel) so this system has 3x filters (2x lowpass + 1x highpass) + Filter coupler, very rare and special!'

Anyone know if this is this one?
