The CMI I, II, IIx are machines that have a polyphony of 8 notes.
Each note is a sample (sample) or a re-synthse dun sound. The size of each sound is 16KB, and yes 16384 bytes!
Sampling is the range of 2500Hz 32000Hz The interval limit.
The connection is the professional type CEST - say Symtrique XLR.
It incorporates the first commercial software squenceur interactive track, the famous "page R", its a squenceur that uses 8 tracks of n pages and is lensemble ditable with the wand (lightpen).
There is no real purpose as we hear now (like DSP) capabilities of loops but pseudo cho, etc ... But there is primarily against trs good VCF filters (CEM 3320 and SSM 2045).
For storage of the data, there are two antique single sided 8-inch drives (~ 512KB per disk Max, EST - ie ~ 23 sounds).
UTILIZATION
This machine is a marvel of its kind to configure and use. This big bote makes you want to delve into its operation, The interface software has t think much, and that even if relatively complete! And his look is deadly, we like it or not
The edition of the sounds is plutt see same old technique primitive (must go through the console commands to make such rotations of the waveform) but there is always a pen omniprsence Optical ...
Documentation is complte trs but often only in English!)
Again, the machine is very easy to take in hand, so the documentation is useless soon!
SOUNDS
Sounds agree my style of music ... Even if they are not trsralistes!
But what EHJV! And yes, the IJC did momentum Evil same 8bits!
There is no real effect as they slowly now (like DSP) capabilities of loops but pseudo cho, etc ... But there is primarily against trs good VCF filters (CEM 3320 and SSM 2045).
Do grain trs spcial of Fairlight, who did not hear or haaaa hoooo MICs (in many pieces of the years 80-90). For example the sound of Art Of Noise EST CMI Zoolook Jarre EST lot of CMI
And also much else and other users: Peter Gabriel, Tears For Fears, Kate Bush, Jan Hammer, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Pet Shop Boys, Yes, Yello, Mike Oldfield, etc.
OVERALL OPINION
I bought my CMI IIx 37000Frs in 1991, he does during down time trs. I never had the time and place to retype ...
In recent years, boot again and produces sounds crazy (EST - say CMI)!
Warning MICs are difficult rpar. Even if I'm not lectronicien (it's a hobby, but I'm starting to have a good base), and took a lot of tests (so long)!
I have retyped my fire CMI almost every one, especially my new davoir CMI state run ...
The current rating of a CMI II (on ebay is that we find the easiest) is ~ 3500 for 4000 and IIx for Sries III according to the Rev.> 4000 ... 9.34 A CMI and II MFX> 11000!
What I like about this machine is the manipulation of sounds and retro design ct top
And more, the granularity of the quil product! III MFX MICs and no longer really a granular (8 bits) but else CHARACTERISTICS trs INTERESTED!
What is the most pnible? Doubt is not permissible: The sound of six fans and disk drives 8 ...
There is also sponsoring ct dEDF thanks excessive consumption (~ 700W), in fact its a real heater! Think about the room or air conditioning will be the MIC Oh yes as it makes a sound of madness must avoid washing of cot to be ..
Certainly if the opportunity arises REPRESENTATIVES, I would choose the same ... Besides, I want a CMI MFX III or II ...
But for this next step, I put the Euros in ct!
