The electronic download of CMI V from Arturia is an emulation of the classic Fairlight CMI hardware workstation keyboard. The enhanced reproduction of this keyboard lets you work with 10 digital instruments of your choice at once—mixing, layering, splitting and sequencing them as you please. This software can be used by producers, sound engineers, and artists on Mac and Windows computers, to capture a taste of that harmonically rich, classic tone, in your DAW and music programs. CMI V can be used as a standalone instrument or as a plug-in within your DAW on the VST2, VST3, AU, NKS, and AAX Native platforms.
The CMI V can draw from three different means of sound generation. Its software is equipped with a sampling engine, additive synthesis engine, and a simpler means of exploring additive synthesis named the Spectral Synth. There are 360 designed presets to get you started—including the original library of sounds you'll recognize from countless hit recordings. Additionally, the CMI V has everything you need to explore the intersection of sampling and digital synthesis.
