NOTE: Do not buy this if you have already bought the Vogel CMI App. Save money by using its in-App upgrade. If you are not sure you want the Pro features, buy the Vogel CMI App. Experience music making ‘80s style with this awesome retro app, modelled on the legendary Fairlight* Computer Musical Instrument. Preloaded with 500+ CMI Series II sounds and 100+ Series III sounds, for the first time a byte-perfect re-issue of the classic CMI sounds of the 80s. 
This app includes 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 make music using tools like those used 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 is a part midi player, part creative tool and part history lesson – developed by Peter Vogel and his nerds who worked on the Fairlight CMI in the '80s. 

FEATURES 

- entire original CMI IIX Sound library containing 564 voices* - 100+ selected CMI III sounds 

- 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* - Sample your own voices from the microphone or line in, then use them in your compositions - display voices graphically using the iconic Page D, and change your viewpoint by tilting your iPhone/iPad* - authentic CMI user interface experience, including floppy disk quirks* 
- 8 track composition using ‘Page R’ pattern-based sequencer 
- create instrument sets that store settings for all 8 channels, including the voices, pitch shifts, volumes, release times etc. - import/export voices, compositions, MIDI and instruments and exchange with others. * These features also available on the lower cost ‘Player’ version of the CMI App.

 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) 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) The CMI and PAGE R are back!!! This Fairlight app is amazing! It's the real deal - all the official factory sounds of a CMI IIx, with the option for the best of Series III sounds! It has some neat "easter eggs" and a TON of useful features. Even just starting up the app is cool - check it out. This app is very intuitive and easy to use, but still includes well-written and extensive help pages. I can't wait to try it out on the iPad 2. (Jaish Chada, Canada) 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) DEVICE REQUIREMENT 

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, we recommend a minimum of iPhone 5 or iPad 3. *Fairlight is a trademark of Fairlight.au Pty Ltd Australia

    Money down the drain
    Still crashes on launch after the 3-9-21 update. /// App does not work in iOS 14. Why is this allowed to stay in the App Store?

    Crashes when launching on iPhone 11 Pro Max
    Program was running great on my previous version iPhone. Tried deleting and reloading. No success. Tried contacting app support but got a 404 error. Anyone have any suggestions

    Love this!
    I really love playing sounds and sometimes playing them slowed down like with orch1, but I played anvil11 and BrassFall11 and it sounded just like Terminator 2 Judgement Day soundtrack! It’s amazing! I highly recommend you get it! But I don’t like how expensive this was. Why is it so expensive? Show more

    Broken after last update
    Can now only play one note at a time after the last update. I’ve had this app now for years and it’s been great going all the way back to my 3rd generation iPad running IOS 8, but now after the update you can no longer play chords .. only one note at a time. I’m using two iPad Pro’s now days one running IOS 12.3.1 and the other IOS 11.3.1. If this gets fixed I’ll give it a 5 star rating .. but as is now after the update it’s useless. Show more

    Wish there were more functionality
    Would love to see the HARMONIC ENVELOPES PAGE 4 implemented someday, and a skin from the model III rather than I and II; it’s far easier on the eyes after a while. I would like to see this app updated to the point where a modern brain could use it for music production for the use of its excellent sample library. I went through my vintage-stuff phase, just want to get some work done. Thank you! Show more

    A player
    Who would have thought, back in the day, while most of us were coding on tickertape and punch cards, that some brilliant guys would put together such an awesome creature that had a touchscreen interface and played back the coolest digital samples. Something that impressed Stevie Wonder and Quincy Jones? And that a couple of decades later you could download a Fairlight in less than a minute? Never mind. I just spent an hour just going through the sound files like a kid in a game store. It's a piece of history and science fiction all at once. Show more

    Broken Sequencer, Great Synth
    [EDIT: 01/22] An update has been released which claims to fix the Page R issues. I can't verify this because, during testing, it became clear that The app can't stay on beat; its BPM is slightly slower than my other apps (all of which synchronize perfectly when set to the same BPM), which causes it to drift further and further off with every loop. Since this app also doesn't take MIDI Clock In, good luck getting it to synchronize with your other tools, unless you want to use it as a master and have all of your samples with the wrong BPM. Unacceptable for the price; this is still an update or two off from being a professional tool. [Original]The instruments sound great and the MIDI functionality means this will play nice with external sequencers. For the premium price, you'd expect for the hyped 'Page R' (built-in sequencer) functionality to work, but it's buggy beyond usability. Changes made don't always register and sometimes half-register (replacing a note with another will either not work at all or, sometimes, both notes will sound polyphonically, which isn't accurate to the hardware, obviously!). As another reviewer pointed out, your changes will be represented GRAPHICALLY but won't impact playback, so what you see is rarely what you hear. It's disappointing, because part of this app's appeal is its immersive simulation, but the fact that Page R doesn't work brings you out of the illusion; you have to use it more like any of your other iOS synths. Because it sounds and looks so good, I'd rate this app much higher -- if its price tag were more humble! At this price, I definitely expect an app to not be inhibited by such dramatic bugs. Show more

    Finally!
    I have waited so long to be able to draw my own waveforms and to get to enjoy the additive synthesis capabilities of the Fairlight and now I finally can! Thank you so much for adding this feature to the app! Show more
