Fairlight For iPad and iPhone

Developed in Australia during the '70s and '80s, the Fairlight CMI (Computer Musical Instrument) was the first commercial sampler and screen-based rhythm sequencer. Today every sampler, digital synthesizer, 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 Fairlight staff who worked on the CMI in the '80s.

You can buy and download the standard App from iTunes and play original Fairlight CMI sounds and sequences straight away. If you want to create your own masterpieces you can use the in-app upgrade process to get all the Pro features listed below.
