Travel back in time to the dawn of electronic music with this strange retro app – a MIDI player preloaded with 500+ legendary CMI (Computer Musical Instrument) sounds. The first byte-perfect re-issue of the classic CMI sounds of the 80s, immortalised by artists including Alan Parsons, Jean Michel Jarre, Trevor Horn, Thomas Dolby, Brian Eno, Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel, Stevie Wonder and so many more. 
This app includes a play-only demo of the famous ‘Page R’, which was the world's first screen-based rhythm sequencer. Today every sampler, digital synthesiser, sequencer and audio workstation can trace its lineage back to this legendary machine. Now you can have, in your pocket or on your iPad, a piece of history developed by Peter Vogel and other music nerds who worked on the Fairlight* CMI in the '80s. 
 BUILT-IN FEATURES 
- browse and play the entire original CMI IIX Sounds floppy disk library - 564 voices imported digitally. - play the CMI voices from an external MIDI input (supports Core MIDI devices. Line6 MidiMobilizer II or Akai SynthStation require MidiBridge or similar), or use the on-screen keyboard - display voices graphically using the iconic Page D, and change your viewpoint by tilting your iPhone/iPad.  - play built-in CMI Page R compositions or import and play compositions sent to you by others. 
 - authentic CMI user interface experience, including floppy disk quirks. 


 UPGRADE to PRO VERSION 
Use the in-App upgrade process to add “pro” features for an additional $39.99. Vogel CMI Pro App includes CMI III voices, the ability to compose 8 track songs using the Page R pattern sequencer, sampling your own voices from the microphone or line in and much more. See the “Vogel CMI Pro” app description for details. REVIEWS 
 I would have never dreamt in a million years to own a Fairlight. It is the stuff of legends! Beyond any ordinary man's budget! And for this day to come a reality for a mere $10!! I am in awe and shock! I cannot emphasize how thankful I am to you for releasing this Iconic and Legendary instrument as an iPhone application!! (Imad Hamadieh, Dubai, UAE) When I saw it yesterday and found out about it, I just about fainted!! Very nice app! A complete revival / reissue of the best computer musical instrument ever in a tiny but very useful format. It is a joy to see an epic piece of synthesizer/sampling history as an app for the millions. Finally you can take your Fairlight wherever you are! A Fairlight to go-go-go! (Freek Roffel, Netherlands) 

Again I would like to take a moment and extend a huge THANK YOU to the entire Fairlight team. ... You have taken the time and patience to create an affordable solution for the masses. ... You have given us a gift. I am truly excited to see what users will do with this App to change the future of music once again. Sincerely, thank you. (Zacharia Malakai, USA) 
 All I can say is WOW!! I have put this thru my BIG speakers in my studio and put a little reverb on and the sound is stunning – SO what am I going to do with my Fairlight CMI-IIx now?? (Howard J Smith, USA) DEVICE REQUIREMENTS 

This App will work on any device running iOS 7 or later. However, if you want to use Audiobus or do heavy performance and composing work with the Pro upgrade, we recommend a minimum of iPod Touch 4G, iPhone 4 or iPad 2. *Fairlight is a trademark of Fairlight.au Pty Ltd Australia}

Eine meiner teuersten Apps. Wie wäre es, sie mal wieder durch den Compiler zu schieben, um zu sehen, warum sie *diesmal* direkt nach dem Start abstürzt? Wäre doch echt schade um dieses eigentlich wirklich tolle Programm… 😢

The app would never launch on my phone. I have deleted the app and reinstalled it. If the app is no longer supported or they have stopped updating it, just remove it from the App Store. I could’ve just donated $10 to them instead paying apple fees🤣-5⭐️

Was really excited to use this app. But shuts down as soon as it opens on iOS 18.

I got excited for a split second seeing that the app has finally been updated...I ran the install, hurriedly pressed “open” and all I got was the app crashing like the developer claimed was fixed. DO NO PURCHASE THIS UNSUPPORTED APP!!!

It’s pretty neat, but I at least expected it to be able to sample, save and trim your own stuff. It’s a bit stingy with it’s features. If I designed this app, I would make it so that the non pro version allows the user to sample only one or two secs. That way the user can at least get a taste of what the app can do and sound like.

I really like the fairlight app. It’s like a journey back in time without the stress of maintaining a real fairlight 2x machine. I wish the page r sequencer could record odd time signatures like the hardware fairlight could. The fairlight app is locked into only playing in a four four time signature which is a bit frustrating. The fairlight series 3 sounds are my favourite although they are not multi sampled across the keyboard but then this app is modelled on the 2x not the series 3. It’s amazing how these days we take music technology for granted with digital audio workstations Cubase and Logic. The fairlight app is like a time capsule with sampling and sequencing that changed the way we worked in the 1980s and is where it all began!!

J’ai acheté cette app et mis à jour en version pro. Ma grosse déception vient du fait qu’on ne peut pas exporter les fichiers de sample au format traditionnel du fairlight (.vc) ou au format .wav. Le format d’exportation est .vcx qui est propre à l’app et qui donc ne sert pas à grand chose. On ne peut donc pas récupérer ses voices sur aucune autre application. Navrant. Mais ça reste un beau jouet pas très utile.
