Introducing the Fairlight App for iPhone & iPad

Introducing the Fairlight App for iPhone & iPad, available from the Apple App Store in March 2011. Over 30 years since the original Fairlight CMI first changed the way we make music, we are proud to present the iPhone & iPad Apps, giving you the experience of a CMI Series IIx in the palm of your hand, complete with the full Series IIx factory library and expandable to include the best of the Series III library and even your own samples.

Marvel at the then revolutionary Page R step sequencer, gasp at the three dimensional waveforms in Page D and bask in the wonder of some of the most famous sounds of the Eighties!

The app is available in 2 versions - Player and Pro. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drXlrG8aawM
for a comparison.
For more information about the app visit http://fairlightinstruments.com.au/ios

The sound track of this video is also one of the app's built-in demos. 'Octagonalle' was created using original Series II library sounds on the Fairlight iPad app by producer/composer Justin Shave. Shave confronted his first CMI in 2006 when he co-produced Darren Hayes' album "This Delicate Thing We've Made." Darren had decided that the Fairlight was the only instrument which could deliver the '80s sensibility he was seeking, bought one on eBay, and handed it to Shave to tame. The rest is history.

The full dance track is available as a free download from the Fairlight web site.

The app celebrates the release of the strictly limited edition CMI 30A. 100 hand built recreations of the CMI IIx, using state of the art technology to bring you the true Fairlight CMI experience as never before.

Order yours at http://fairlightinstruments.com.au

The legend has returned.

UPDATE:
The Fairlight app has completed beta testing and has been submitted to Apple for approval! We hope to see it in the app store in the next week or so. In a late sprint to the finish line, we added support for the Akai Synthstation 25 (http://www.akaipro.com/synthstation25). The Fairlight app support pages are now live on the Fairlight website http://fairlightinstruments.com.au/ios

no core midi? no waveform drawing . rip off fifty bucks for this is just a burn. showing bob moog in the beginning of this is extremely misleading. pay attention to what he says. most efficient for manipulation of sound is the key stressed from this video. what a rip off fairlight you people should be ashamed of misleading people to donate fifty dollars to your company.just a joke really. i mean using bob moog to advertise this is just flat out misleading and false advertising. bullshit

[FairlightInstruments]

@allthedayslivevideo  Core midi is supported. For $10 you get a midi player with the complete, original CMI-2X library. For $50 you get page R sequencer and a selection of Series III sounds as well. I don't think anyone would not notice that Bob Moog was talking about a 1981 machine using eight inch floppies, not the iPad app. Sadly he is not around to play with a iPad. I'm sure he'd love it.

Will there be a android version of this app?

[FairlightInstruments]

@synthetic24 If there is enough interest in the iOS app, we will certainly look into an Android version and maybe others for regular computers.

[FairlightInstruments]

No, there are no effects, just the line output which you can patch into whatever analogue outboard devices you like. The processor is pretty much occupied just playing an 8 track sequence. Tracks cannot be exported digitally (in this first version, anyway). I guess you could solo each track and then multitrack it - there is no synch but the speed should be very accurate. I expect someone will try it and let us know how it goes!

@FairlightInstruments Yes please do a VST with all the original libraries.

[TheBlackxism]

hey is the music that is being played from a far light synth?

[LonelyAtTheTop79]

I have this for my iPhone and it is one of the most amazing apps I've ever had. I'm still having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that the contents of a $25,000 synthesizer are now on my cellphone
