I can't tell you how long I've been waiting for a proper simulation of the Fairlight CMI. I was able to use a preliminary build of MESS's CMI driver (which only emulates the UI at this time), and I can say that the interface is amazingly faithful yet improved and refined for modern music production workflow. And little things like being able to see all 128 segments in Display "A" mode is just delightful! Thank you so much for developing this, Adam!!
I made a brief video of QasarBeach show a brief recreation of the drum track from Art of Noise's Beat Box.
Will there be any scaling options such as bi-cubic, etc? A 4:3 aspect ratio option would be nice as well, along with maybe a CRT/scanline filter, however, I totally understand if this is beyond the limits of the graphics engine.
Also, it would be cool to see the Fairlight logo "animate" like in the original software, where it draws over itself several times to create that pseudo-3D effect. Do you think it's possible for logos to support animations?
Keep up the great work!!
