Fairlight CMI Series III For Auction

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated. via this auction

"Offered for sale is a very rare, fully functional, vintage classic Fairlight CMI III computer musical instrument workstation in excellent condition. The system is a late model, in a sexy black tower case and as such has the latest and best in technical innovations, whilst still retaining the classic legendary sound of the CMI. This was my own studio system which I'm only selling as I now have a rack series III (see last picture), under the stairs rather than in the spare bedroom, which pleases my wife considerably.

The system has the latest 11.39 software (or I could install revision 9.34. They both have the same features, but the rev 11 is faster – especially given the size of the supplied libraries). It has 16 voices, colour graphics card, and 24 output router. It also comes with a 17” LCD screen. Instead of the usual 14 Mbytes RAM memory fitted as standard from the factory, this unit has a brand new 32 Mbyte card, which is the maximum possible in these systems. It also has a digital sampler module and a Turbo-SCSI card: It is therefore fully optioned with the last and best revisions of both hardware and software. The alpha-numeric keyboard which contains the graphic pad and pen is BRAND NEW AND BOXED. There is no music keyboard, however any MIDI keyboard or external computer/sequencer will work brilliantly.

The libraries supplied with this system are as follows:
Complete Fairlight library, Prosonus Strings, Brass, Percussion, Sound 
Genesis strings, plus many libraries collected over the last 20 years 
dealing with top producers and musicians. These include libraries from: Pet 
Shop Boys, Trevor Horn, Hans Zimmer, Frankie goes to Hollywood, Art of Noise and many, many others. The complete Fairlight IIX library is also included.

An external empty 4 Gbyte hard disc, with spare system softwares can also be supplied for a minimal additional cost.

The system will be serviced, have a full set of manuals, all leads, latest firmware, and come with 3 months warranty.

Please note you’ll see other Fairlight systems advertised, and some might be less expensive. However, do some research before you buy. What may look like a bargain might not look so appealing when its obsolete parts finally give up. This applies specially to earlier systems. This system is complete, fully functional, and will work straight out of the box. I worked as product specialist and studio manager at Fairlight in Sydney during most of the 1980s, and have been involved in re-building Fairlight CMIs for over 25 years. I have sold and supported well over 45 of these classic samplers. If you are in any doubt, please type “Peter Wielk Fairlight” into the worlds favourite search engine and see what comes out.

You might be apprehensive about owning a big piece of older hardware, however the Fairlight CMIs were designed to last – no new technology comes near it for build quality. All the cards and modules of a series III are plug-in which makes servicing a breeze (which also helped push the original price up). In the unlikely event of a board failure, this can simply be swapped out for a replacement, to either repair or replace. I have a huge amount of spares, since I bought most of the factories old stock and spare parts. I also do repairs at board level, and re-manufacture parts when unavailable. I have been supporting these incredible systems for many years, and hope to continue this for many more… There’s also a vibrant Fairlight community of like-minded souls who can offer help and advice..."

ULT-SOUND DS-4 analogue percussion module

"Rare and historically significant drum module, with classic vintage sound, and great analogue synthesis capability. There are 4 modules, each triggered by an external trigger input (this can be a dedicated trigger voltage, or just even a simple audio trigger from a drum machine, sampler, or computer. This unit was overhauled last year and all modules are working well. There are 'preset' sounds - hihats, snares, and noise. But then these can also be overridden with synthesized sounds. Great unit, very collectible."

via this auction

"You're looking at the Schlagzwerg, the semi-modular version of a few of MFB's range of eurorack drum modules along with a powerful step sequencer module. There's a bass, a snare, a tom tom, hi-hat/cymbal plus a mixer too. It's set up so you can use it straight out of the box with no patching but it can be fully integrated into your modular synth for additional possibilities. It's a really groovy little drum machine, and is still in as-new condition. Comes with a power supply, but it's a euro power supply so you'll probably need an adaptor..."
