The first gen "Synclavier I" was just a big synth. Don't know much about the first fairlights before the "direct to disk" versions used it Post I read about. I have actually never seen a fairlight ever in person.
I was talking about the Synclavier 1 and 2 both of which I managed to get my hands on in the original versions. The Fairlight CMI was a computer terminal connected to a computer box with a lof of processing in it and a basic music keyboard. Nothing special in the looks department. Also got to mess with one of those as well.
