Peter Vogel CMI 2.4.3

Travel back in time to the dawn of electronic music with this unique retro app – a MIDI player preloaded with over 500 legendary CMI (Computer Musical Instrument) sounds.

The first faithful reissue of the classic CMI sounds from the 80s, immortalized by artists such as Alan Parsons, Jean Michel Jarre, Trevor Horn, Thomas Dolby, Brian Eno, Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel, Stevie Wonder, and many others.

This app features a demo of the renowned ‘Page R’, which was the world's original screen-based rhythm sequencer. Every sampler, digital synthesizer, sequencer, and audio workstation today can trace its roots back to this iconic machine.

Now you can carry a piece of history in your pocket or on your iPad, developed by Peter Vogel and other music enthusiasts who worked on the Fairlight CMI in the 80s.
