The CC-1 is virtually a PCIe card that has onboard RAM, a series of IO Connectors (BNC mainly) and .... this is the real kicker.... a blank, totally moldable CPU. Therefore it does not suffer from a fixed internal hardware architecture. Lets take this further, one could potentially take this card, and have a range of CC-1(CPU) programming files for this one board, so the CC-1 could be a video scaler/render/color corrector OR purely a disk recorder with all the MADI IO that is had onboard OR its current inception of a Post Production Tool. Fairlight is probably try to appease the market they have been dealing with the most with the dream range and once this is done... then take over the rest of the world. ![]() Quote:

| Uncle Joe, I greatly appreciate the straight forward answers! To be honest, I've had a hard time getting this in the past from Fairlight reps and this kind of clarity greatly helps. All systems have limitations. Understanding limitations isn't looking for reasons not to buy, it's more to ensure that I'm going to be happy with the purchase after it's delivered. That said................ Quote:

Can I utilize all 32 busses out at one time at 88.2k (or 96k) without limitations? Is there automatic latency compensation for VST or re-wire inserts? Is there automatic latency compensation for hardware inserts? Is this the Fairlight Pyxis? The website says the package comes with SD (not HD). On the $21k package, is HD part of the package? Quote:
Again, thanks very much! Laser | |||

| the fairlight system i saw in vienna was pure badassery; the interface was like an extension of the operator's body, the realtime editing and manipulation of waves really has to be seen to be fully understood and appreciated. if anybody has seen tom cruise in minority report, working the computer that interfaces with the pre-cogs' visions, the vibe is similar. there's lots of fluid gesturing and hand movements that look as much like a dance as a mix/edit session. the whole platform has a kind of soul, it creates an experience and connection to the computer and the music that i've never really seen in a daw up to this point. very cool stuff! gregoire del ubk .

![]() I'm looking at taking the load of my Logic Pro system for composing, and possibly using a Fairlight system for audio recording/playback, mixing, audio editing and video playback. When some cues start going up to 30-40+ tracks, my G5 starts huffing and puffing a bit... I'm curious as to how the CC-1 and Xynergi system will integrate with something like TC Electronic's PowerCore, SSL's Duende and Universal's UAD-1's? One last question - Will a Mac version ever see the light of day? Sorry, personal preference to Macs. Haven't had a PC in the studio for more than a year! Or would it be possible to run it on a Mac Pro system under Boot Camp?Thanks in advance. Anton | |

If that's true, that fact alone would cut their sales at least in half. Which is a drag, because I've been halfway seriously looking at some of their new Crystal Core based systems.

G'day. Lads, I guess I should be a sales guy right? ... To be honest, this is not the role that I care to assume on Gearslutz. Fairlight Products, including Xynergi, are sold through a group of Fairlight Business partners and dealers who have exclusive access to our products on a territorial basis. Prices may differ very slightly from dealer to dealer as a result of import charges, duties an taxes … With all my respect to both you and our Business partners and dealers, I suggest that you make contact with the partner that is nearest to you. They will certainly supply you with all the pricing details necessary. Please be aware that there are four preconfigured ‘systems’. There are two controller only systems (Xynergi MPC-96 and MPC-144) and two including fader sidecars (Xynergi MPC-144F and MPC-230F). There are also a number of options that can be purchased with the Xynergi systems. Note: All systems include a CC-1 card, Xynergi Controller, SX-20 and PyxisTrack. There is no individual item price for the Xynergi Controller as it may not be purchased on its own. Laser, Thanks for your posts ... you might be happy to know that Fairlight is supporting a special offer to celebrate the Xynergi MPC launch. This offer includes a free Fairlight fader sidecar with the Xynergi MPC-144 config. You dealer has full details. Contact information for our Partners and dealers can be found here: http://www.fairlightau.com/default_content.html "Contact Us" Please get back to me if you cannot quickly and efficiently obtain detailed pricing. Thanks for your consideration. All the best, Uncle Joe / Fairlight . | ||

We understand. I think we were looking at getting a rough idea (MSRP), instead of a quoted (Street) price. But, I'll get into contact with your offices, to discuss my particular needs. The only thing that still scares the daylights out of me is the import tax here in Taiwan - 30% on mixers and anything with a moving fader/controller! ![]() Best Anton | |

“The essence of the controller is that it is ‘application aware’. In Fairlight language this means it knows what mode the operator is in (recording, editing, mixing, set-up) and instantly presents the function choices relevant to that mode whilst hiding those that aren’t” In the core architecture of this particular controller technology, we have included and devised an SDK ( Software Development Kit ) for the future, which would allow other DAW manufacturers to support this controller in their own applications. Question might be … Who else wants to play? All the best, Uncle Joe / Fairlight . | |||||

The Xynergi controller is simply a USB device ... This, the CC-1 card and software runs on a Mac Pro under Boot Camp. Thanks, Uncle Joe / Fairlight . | |

I assume this means you can buy the Xynergi by itself as a standalone product? It really seems counterintuitive to think software application developers will utilize a product that is otherwise entirely proprietary and sold in a 21k hardware/software system. Some of the comments made by fairlight when asked about other software compatability leave me scratching my head. | |

Interesting, but only if the Xynegri controller would also be sold on it's own for a competitive price.

| Why Fairlight don't simply sell only cc-1 card with editing software etc. + SX-20 - and controller as option ? It would be very intresting for "small player" and for plugin's developers too, i think. I have not to buy Protools with Icon... Martin |

Just confirmed (I had heard it earlier, but several people including Henchman told me I was wrong) , the CC-1 software can't do 88.2k or 96k either (48k max).....which explains why my questions were ignored. No scheduled date when this will be improved. So much for processing power. Too bad. I was seriously ready to jump on the Fairlight bandwagon. Oh, well. Laser | |

| Lives for gear | Yes, this fact was confirmed to me by an existing Fairlight user here in the UK a number of months ago!

| Ah, Fairlight, the company that sold me a $35,000 recording system, then went out of business. To be fair (no pun intended), as I recall they dropped the Merlin before going out of business, so I can't blame the current regime for that. The fact that I received no warning and no "Gee, we're sorry about that" is a little disturbing though. As someone else has already mentioned, it appears that Fairlight is still pursuing a rather "different" business model. I don't know how you can compete with Digi when there are only a handful of "dealer/service centers" who sell the product. OTOH, before they went out of business they had a massively overblown sales structure. At that time there was no way they could sell enough systems to pay all those employees and pay rent for the buildings in Hollywood and elsewhere. The downsizing was definitely necessary, but I think an overall different approach is still needed. Maybe try trusting some other dealers besides just the people who used to work for Fairlight and currently service them. |

| IN thread revival mode: Joe, do you think that it is possible that the cc-1 platform support Eucon? I now that you make the Anthem et al, but for those who chose differently but still love the Fairlight for it's editing functions and reliability (and maybe for it's internal mixer, after all... why not?)

There are no current plans to implement Eucon protocol. We have obviously been requested to be "controllable" by other work surfaces. Therefore ... Xynergi has implemented the full specification as a Hui protocol slave. This allows the following functions by default to be controlled remotely: • Transport states including Jog and Shuttle • Jog Frames (i.e. the system can be jogged remotely) • Fader levels (bidirectional for motor control) • Mutes, Solos, Track Arms, Channel Selects (note: Channel Select will arm a track if the Arm or ADR menu is current) • Channel names. Please note that other "buttons" from these controllers can also be mapped to Dream II functions. So to implement and customize other key events to work, you must use a dedicated file called remap.txt This remap file can "script" and take keys coming in from the HUI device, and route them to keys on your Dream II system. Hope this helps mate. Regards, Uncle Joe / FairlightAU . | |
