Fairlight EVO with keyboard bay
The most significant addition here is a music keyboard bay “harking back to the roots of Fairlight in sound sampling,” explains Fairlight CTO, Tino Fibaek.
Mechanically, the EVO changes are ergonomic improvements and modifications to allow a greater degree of user installation customization, including:
• A chassis-less configuration, for mounting in customer’s own furniture.
• Variable monitor viewing angles – screens can moved in a 20 degree range
• Speaker and utility shelves mounted at the rear of the console
• Multiple variations in console raking and elevation
The mechanical changes now support a range of new electronic options including:
• A music keyboard bay accommodating either 25 or 61 notes integrated with the new Dream II v4 Sound Design and Sampling software.
• An optional video sub-panel for use in applications such as metering and monitoring
• A sophisticated Ethernet based GPI/O system, either in-console or externally mounted.
