Fairlight CMI III Jam Session

[Danniielle]

Back in May of 2021, I set up a percussion loop using Peter Wielk's Fairlight CMI III patched into my 5U modular, Moog Voyager and Roland System 100 and sync'd everything to the arpeggiator in my Yamaha KX8. The modular was also controlled via clock pulses generated using my Second Sound DACO 160 audio to synth EVK from the Fairlight and then into the Roland System 700 and dotcom Q960 analog step sequencers for various modulation tasks.

This is a short segment from the jam session this inspired. I have since made this into a full track for my upcoming solo album, CoCo-Musik.

Two of my nine Tandy Radio Shack TRS-80 CoCo's (Colour Computers) are in this video too. The CoCo 1 is my original one I've had since new in the 80s and is running Audio Spectrum Analyser by Steve Bjork. The CoCo D (CoCo 3 I grafted into a TRS-80 Model 4 case) is running my favourite 3D texture map demo.
