More Fairlight CMI & Qaser Manuals, Pictures & articles - ChickenMan - 25-05-2023
Thanks to egrefin and many others for making these manuals available. All have been cleaned up (some considerably) and converted to searchable PDF's as usual.
".. Vogel, Ryrie and Furse kept working on their digital synthesis idea, and in 1976, after more than a year of hard work, came up with the QUASAR M8." So now there are some manuals of Fairlight early synthesiser. Lots of others on the CMI models also incluging more Pictures, Brochures and Magazine articles.
A scan though some of the computer magazines of the time also revealed some interesting information of the Fairlight story. The_Musician_and_the_micro.pdf gives a good description of the full Fairlight story. A couple of the files have also been updated with better quality versions.
So in the Vintage Repository in the Fairlight folder and sub-folders we added
