Recently, we visited the Los Angeles home of Tim Curtis, a synth guru, to hear how the Fairlight sparked a digital revolution. (You can read more on that <a href=\"https://daily.redbullmusicacademy.com/2016/11/instrumental-instruments-fairlight\">here</a>.)</p>\n\n<p class=\"ng-scope\">When we arrived at Tim’s home, we found more than we bargained for. Tim has not just one, but two Fairlights (remarkable, especially considering how rare and expensive they are), and a host of other instruments laying around. <a href=\"https://www.mitchellmaher.org/\"
