can you please tell me what are the minimum requirements for Windows to use the program?

a good question. It should be pretty low, it’s a very small app with low system usage. It is compiled on windows 7, so anything from that onwards

I tried to start QasarBeach on an old EeePC (Intel Atom, Windows 7.32 bit) but nothing happened.  I'm looking for alternatives to the Rasperry PI but I think that would be a suitable platform for it.  when I'm done with my project I will make it public on Facebook, for example, and when people see that there is a Fairlight Clone for a € 30 mini PC, many will follow suit.  but I have a few questions for you.  refuses do you know how the fairlight works?  do you have one  What does the sampling function do?  without them, that would only be half the battle.  😉.  What about the Fairlight 3 library?  Maybe you have them?  Thank you for your effort and I look forward to further versions.  😉

Yep. QasarBeach is 64bit - so it will won't run on 32bit platforms - one issue solved :)

Answers:

Yep I know how the Fairlight works, but Series II and III. QasarBeach does not operate in the exact same way as Fairlight have loads of custom hardware. The key difference is the Fairlight actually change speed to change the pitch. QasarBeach takes the modern approach and has a static speed with the pitch being interpolated - if you dont understand - don't worry.

The sampling function allows you to sample in incoming sound source - it is not currently operational in QasarBeach. TBH you can simply use a simple free sound editor to do this and just export to uncompressed .wav or ogg or aif. QasarBeach will load all of them.

Series III library is only available with a real Fairlight.

Yes.  I understand, at least at that time samplers worked (theoretically) but doesn't that mean that it doesn't sound so authentic anymore ?.  no idea.  Another seen in real. ;-) At the moment I am not working with it either, but I am more concerned with the hardware and plan there.  that’s why sampling isn’t so tragic, but I hope it’s coming.

Wow great...

As a lover of old synthesizer systems, that was exactly what I always wanted.
I love not only the sound, but also the original operation.
I've always wanted to work like I did in the great days of Fairlight.
even if it takes getting used to ..
is like a historian ..

if you could also create your own samples ...

I hope that comes too.?!?

Wow großartig...

Als Liebhaber alter Synthesizersysteme war das genau das, was ich mir schon immer gewünscht hatte.
Ich liebe nicht nur den Sound, sondern auch die originale Bedienung.
Ich wollte schon immer so arbeiten wie in den großartigen Tagen von Fairlight.
auch wenn es gewöhnungsbedürftig ist ..
ist wie ein Historiker ..

wenn Sie auch Ihre eigenen Muster erstellen könnten ...

Ich hoffe das kommt ..?!?

finally a reasonable clone of this dream machine but I don't think how I can sample myself ?@chris.what do you mean? do you build a keyboard with a Raspberry? That would be an idea if it would run on it.

currently QasarBeach doesn't sample - It's half way complete, but there are some issue with it. Good recommendation would be Amadeus, or audacity just to get the sample into the computer and then export and uncompressed 16 bit wav or aif. QasarBeach can read most uncompressed formats :)

Yes.I am currently planning to build a "Fairlight Clone" with a friend based on the Raspberry.  That should consist of a keyboard and a touchscreen monitor.  all in the right look, of course.

I'd be very interested in this

Unfortunately, I am now little dependent on whether it runs on the PI or not.  if not, I have to plan this Fairlight base for the PC.  Otherwise everything would fit into the keyboard.  Of course I'll post pictures of it here when we start.

I wanted to install the Linux version on my Raspberry Pi but unfortunately that is not possible.  Is it possible to compile a version for a Pi?

The Pi would need a different compile of the language. I'll see what can be done. Let's give this one a 60/40

that would be wonderful.  I would like to build my own device.  So what Behringer does with synthesizers.  😉

Absolut amazing but i have a question?is there an env?i didnt find it?

Yes there is, but not in the way that ADSR operates.

the best way is to use PAAGE 7 and patch either VOLUME or AUX VOLUME parameters to a FUNCTION.

Page 48 of the guide shows how to do this for PAN.

Page 41 of the guide shows how to use FUNCTIONS

Page 29 shows how to use PAGE 7

Another way is to use Page 4 and to set a VOL profile - but this is not documented in the guide as it is a more advanced feature

Ok.thank you.😊

Wow, looks impressive. Will there be Windows version?

(+1)

yep, both windows and Linux versions are planned for release very soon

Good Evening or Morning fellow AdamStrange, I am pleased with what you’re doing with the quasar apps, is there any change you can make it pay-what-you-want? I would like to contribute fund to further development.

no problem. I've changed the download to a 'suggested' amount.

🤗 great news

Version 1.17 now available with Windows and Linux. These are not fully tested, so PLEASE let me know if there are any issues :)

Thank you for a wonderful Christmas present!
