waht? floppy drive read failure option as a feature? that is quirky... Not sure if this app is for me, but I give them credit for doing something different!
"In the free version" he says .... suuuuure guys. God knows it should have been. This developer doesn't get it. Standard should have been free or .99
I'd pay $50 for fifty in value. This app doesn't have that, and the $10 for a do-nothing test drive--along with the missing features--is amazing to me. They don't understand marketing, that's for sure.
Good tutorial...they could have saved themselves a few negative comments if they'd done the tutorials before the app release though.
I've only had the app a couple of days and have found myself warming to it, in particular the dev's faithful recreation of the disk load anomalies, the turn key to start and the dead key sounds (before you load a voice). You can feel the enthusiasm for the original hardware behind the development of this app, whereas in comparison the iElectribe, iMS20, Rebirth etc all feel a little corporate and sterile....I still enjoy the iMS20, but it doesn't feel as heartfelt as this app for some reason....or am I just seeing sentimentality where it doesn't exist?
Fairlight for iPad is simply a gimmick. Sure it's appeal to some as a 'coffee table' app, but for anything serious, well forget it imho.
But then again I suppose anything musical for iPad could easily fall into the trap of being labled a gimmick, unless Apple improve the I/O and core midi/audio features of the device? :?
On itunes, seems every time someone posts a well thought out and fair review criticizing the really cruel $10 for nothing door charge and the absurd $50 price... "Someone" pops right up congratulating them effusively for trumping sliced bread.
This technique will fail, guys.
Lower the price to $20 for one week as a release special. If the app is useful at all, word will get around and people will buy it.
You'd have made way more money at $9.99 than you have now, and word is getting around that the door charge is farcical and the app more nostalgia than full blown composition tool.
Well, even the lite version got the whole original Fairlight CMI II sound library onboard. Ready to play. Many classic sounds here! I think this alone are worth every penny!

That's a start.
Sounds good on my Pad and its Universal. Glad for this tutorial.

I'd like to cast my vote for a 'How would you change the Fairlight app?' post. I can already think of several things I'd change.
I will probably still buy the app though...eventually...
It needs some stuff NanoStudio can do.
So, audio out from iphone to ipad, to Mutitrack to Nano's Eden.

No, you just need Nanostudio. ;)

Well it's 10 dollars for a handful of authentic samples. Probably will load a few into my Mirages.

Wake up. The low road gets you nowhere.
A $9.99 crippled app, with a $39.99 ransom to actually be able to use it???
How did Apple let this get past them?
I want my $9.99 back, this is a crappy way to sell an app.
