Arturia CMI V Explained®

Description

Synth wizard Tyler Coffin delivers an in-depth series on Arturia's awesome recreation of the iconic sampler and synthesizer, the Fairlight CMI. See and hear how this instrument was revolutionary in its time, and shaped the way music was produced. Plus, Arturia's take on it gives the original period-accurate sound, with added usage to make it fit into today's workflow!

Tyler begins with and introduction and overview of this powerful virtual synth, followed by in-depth coverage of its user interface and basic operation. You'll then dive into its Sound Page where you set the parameters to get the basis of all sounds in the CMI V.

Next, explore the different Sound Modes including the Sampling Mode, Synth Mode, Spectral Synth Mode, different functions, Assigning sources to Controls, and more.

The Sequencer Page is up next, and you'll see how to use the CMI V's rhythmic sequencer to program all sorts of patterns, from arpeggiations to drum loops, and then learn all about using the mixer and effects sections, as well as the tuning and mapping features.

Wrapping it all up, you'll see how to use the preset manager and browser, plus get dedicated sound design tutorials that show you how to create all different sounds from scratch using the CMI V.

This synth looked a little complex at first compared to normal synths. This course clearly explains everthing you need to know!

Having never had the opportunity to use the original, this tutorial gave a great intro to the sonic possibilities of the CMI V, explained it all really well and has allowed me to start creating new sounds :-)

Nice walkthrough of the tabs and settings, found the pace just right for me. I wasn't 100% convinced on the sound design, as we started making a bass that turned into a pad. Would have been nice to see the instruments expanded so -- make a bass make a pad make a drum But I guess the CMI is all experimentation.

Learned a lot about a device I never knew how to use. More demo time on modulation, functions, sequencing and switching would have been nice. I did not need a demo of the FX or how to use a mixer in a "daw". I also think the browser is too intuitive to spend time on over and over again. But still, I definitely have a much better grip over the possibilities of this and you showed us how much fun it could be. You have inspired me to make a full song just thru this one instrument!
