 To make a long story short ... you will need either an entire Fairlight QDC DSP engine or and older Fairlight MFX3+ DSP engine in order for the FAME to work. The FAME is nothing more than a controller. FAME1 refers to this surface attached to an MFX3+ ... FAME2 refers to this same surface attached to a QDC. I have attached a FAME2 Installation manual for you to give you some place to start. Unfortunately ... you have a bit of missing gear here before you could ever get this system up and running.  You also appear to be missing the PC that runs the control surface. All the Best, Joe Hammer FairlightAU / Sydney. | |

| I suggest you call Graeme Whineray in Sydney. He has access to older Fairlight equipment. Graeme knows more about the MFX3 than anybody on this planet! GBG Technology Pty Ltd Crows Nest Sydney Contact; Graeme Whineray T +61 (2) 9439 2009 F +61 (2) 9439 4344 email info@gbg-technology.com I also know of 2 MFX3's here in New Zealand - well they were availabe last time I saw them a few months back!! PM me if interested, they'll be cheap I am sure. But I am curious, did you buy these Fame's thinking they were a stand alone DAW? Tim

| well i was very unfamiliar with them, as i'm only 21 and haven't been recording for too long but after seeing an auction for 2 of them $1000 all together and then researching and finding that when they came out they were over $100,000 a piece i was sure the company had no idea what they were selling and snatched them up. They said all i would need to do was put a QDC card in them to make them run. I figured nothing could be too expensive to make it not worth owning these amazing consoles. After searching day and night trying to find information on these emailing people, posting, and calling companies, I found that I need a bit more than i have now. So i guess, yes at first i thought they were stand alone DAW's. but now i realize that they are just really cool controllers. So I've actually given up on the Fairlights and took them back telling them they require more than the auction post let me to believe. But if i could get more help on what i would need as far as a PC i would be more apt to tell them i will buy one of them for $250 and try Fairlight one more time. Thanks jon |
