Here is a quick video of me programming a sequence on the Firelight, using the built-in sequencing programme, called "PAGE R"

First I created 4 sounds by drawing harmonic waveforms in "PAGE 4". This was only possible because I got a USB mouse converter for the CMI from Joe Britt (as my Fairlight light-pen isn't working at the moment)

Re-Fairlighted

I got my Firelight back! We are reunited at last! It needs some work, but its sounding good already. Here are some abstract tones

Because the light pen isn't working, I am a bit limited to what I can do with it. So I used Page 5 (WAVEFORM GENERATION, an alternative way of manipulating wave segments. It displays 32 harmonic sliders that are set up to reflect the desired level of each harmonic within the sound) and then I assigned some parameters to the keyboard faders and switches, such as filter frequency and attack and decay

This is how we did it back in the day...

My Fairlight is currently being fixed... I will report back to you on this as and when, so in the mean time here is the original CMI IIx Demo Cassette (side a):
