CMI V

Arturia

CMI V is a software recreation of the legendary Fairlight CMI IIIx, a digital sampler, synthesizer, and audio workstation from the early 1980s. It combines sampling, additive synthesis modes (Time Synth and Spectral Synth), and a built-in sequencer with 10 instrument slots and a comprehensive effects mixer. This is the modern, affordable virtual version of one of the most influential instruments in electronic music history.
