Fairlight CMI-IIx Digital Sampler
Released in 1982, the CMI-IIx was the second generation of the Fairlight CMI. It featured an upgraded sampling engine, with a higher sampling rate and better resolution than its predecessor.
Improved MIDI capability and a larger memory allowed for more complex compositions too. The CMI-IIx saw heavy use throughout the 1980s, shaping pop, rock, and electronic music of the era. Its influence still echoes in production today.
