The letters FLI very large on a C64 CRT screen. The letters have a nice color ramp effect

I’ve heard this so many times, even when #Stravinsky himself plays it it still sounds like a sample. (e h) #OrchestraHit #Fairlight #CMI #ORCH2_VC

We can say it was the first "DAW"! :0)

"The Fairlight CMI (short for Computer Musical Instrument) is a digital synthesizer, music sampler, and digital audio workstation introduced in 1979 by Fairlight."

We had the honor of inspecting, tearing down, and cleaning up a Fairlight CMI! Someone in Colorado happened to find one for sale in Greensboro, and we were the local intermediary to help it safely along its journey. Unfortunately we weren't able to locate an appropriate monitor to actually get it up and usable, but based on our exam of the innards and brief testing, we believe it's all working, including the 8" floppy drives!
