Arturia CMI V Virtual Fairlight CMI Sampling Workstation, Electronic Download

Before the dawn of digital music production, the Fairlight CMI Sampling Workstation revolutionized the industry as the first commercially available digital sampling system. Now, the CMI V Virtual Fairlight CMI Sampling Workstation, an electronic download developed by Arturia, brings this innovative technology into the modern era. This sophisticated virtual instrument is a faithful recreation of the original Fairlight CMI, renowned for its high-quality sound and advanced sampling capabilities.

The CMI V isn't just a digital instrument; it's a complete digital workstation. It allows you to work with 10 digital instruments simultaneously, offering unparalleled flexibility in mixing, layering, splitting, and sequencing. This professional-grade tool provides three different means of sound generation. The first is the iconic sampling engine that defined the industry. The second is the original additive synthesis engine, which lets you control each harmonic component over time. Lastly, we've introduced a new, simpler means of exploring additive synthesis with the Spectral Synth.

The CMI V comes with around 300 expertly designed presets, including the original library of sounds recognized from countless hit recordings. This high-quality virtual instrument offers limitless creative options and sonic variety, making it an essential addition to any vintage keyboard collection.

The CMI V's unique musical architecture and innovative sound design capabilities have made it a staple in many of the '80s most iconic songs. From Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" to Herbie Hancock's "Rockit", the distinctive sound of the CMI has left an indelible mark on the music industry.
