The CMI V is a spot-on reincarnation of the first commercially available digital sampling system in music history—the sonic powerhouse behind numerous early MTV-era megahits.
In 1980, the Fairlight CMI turned heads with the introduction of digital sampling. Now Arturia's software homage lets you turn some heads yourself.
With exotic new sound of digital samples, the promise of an all-in-one digital workstation, and a physical design right out of a sci-fi movie, the Fairlight CMI was an object of desire for most self-respecting ‘80s keyboardists. Countless musicians and producers weighed the risks of bank robbery in order to afford one.
No need today.
Arturia's faithful recreation gives you the same tools that many MTV stars used to make a cannonball splash into the pool. No vintage keyboard collection is complete without the CMI V.
