Peter Vogel and Thomas Dolby on the Impact of the Fairlight CMI

YouTube Uploaded by matrixsynth on Feb 29, 2012

"Blinded By Science: Thomas Dolby and Peter Vogel in conversation with Tim Ritchie

This is a great Big Ideas for tech geek musicians and innovators. Blinded By Science is the name of the show and it features musician, Thomas Dolby and the inventor of the Fairlight synthesizer, Peter Vogel, talking to Radio National’s Tim Ritchie at Notes in Newtown. If you love music , you’ll love this conversation. It has the ‘after performance’ feel of musicians talking about why they do what they do – the highs and the disastrous lows!

These were the early days of electronic music and both Peter and Thomas were there at the outset and were both brilliant innovators."

The Fairlight Qasar

Note this is the Qasar II.  See candor chasma for a pic and additional details on the Qasar 1.

Top: "The Fairlight CMI was based on the architecture of the Qasar M8 (Multimode 8), created by Tony Furse in 1975. In the early 70's, Tony Furse created his first prototype of hybrid analog/digital synthesizer, the Qasar I."

Bottom: "In 1972-1973, Furse created his second prototype, the Qasar II, with the financial help of both the Federal Government of Australia and Don Banks, composer and director of the Canberra School of Electronic Music."

And via the comments of The First Synth To post: "What about the Quasar, (c.1975) predecessor of the Fairlight or the RMI digital keyoboard? (c.1974) Also one of the first additive/wavetable machines was the PPG 340/380 System, around late 70's I think. Wavetable synthesis become famous and widely available by the PPG Wave series starting with the wavecomputer 360 (c.1979) Also don't forget the Crumar CDS.

Also: First sampling keyboard: the Chamberlain and first speech synthesis modeler: the Voder! Also first 16 voice analogue synth would be the EMU Audity if it had be released.

KORG kaossilator 2 + mini kaoss pad 2 - by koishistyle

YouTube Uploaded by KORGINC on Feb 28, 2012

"This song was created using only the KORG "kaossilator 2" and "mini kaoss pad 2". There are no additional FX, sound sources or any use of DAW software. The kaossilator 2 (with the yellow body) is a synthesizer and performance is easily done just by stroking the touchpad with a finger. The mini kaoss pad 2 (with the red body) is an intuitively easy to control FX processor. It's easy for anyone to create amazingly intricate tracks by adding layer upon layer to a simple phrase and controlling the effects."
