Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of Arturia's CMI V! We’d like to thank you for purchasing CMI V, our latest virtual model of a legendary electronic instrument. CMI V is the newest addition to our extensive family of instruments that recreate hard-to- find synthesizers and classic keyboards. When talking about electronic music instruments of the 1980s, Fairlight CMI is one of the most popular instruments and one of the first truly workstations which covers sampling, a synthesis engine as well as sequencing in one unit. The Fairlight CMI was the dream of nearly every musician and producer - but in an all impossible price range. Now it found its way back - affordable, easy-to-use and with legendary sound. Make sure to visit the www.arturia.com website for information about all of our other great hardware and software instruments. They have become indispensable, inspiring tools for musicians around the world. Musically yours, The Arturia team Table Of Contents 1.
