Fairlight CMI (Computer Musical Instrument) is a digital audio workstation developed by Fairlight Instruments in Australia in 1979. It was one of the first digital audio workstations and was used by many famous musicians, including Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, and Jean-Michel Jarre.

The Fairlight CMI works by sampling audio signals and storing them in digital memory. It then uses a combination of synthesis and sampling to create sounds. It has a variety of features, including a built-in sequencer, a range of effects, and a library of samples. It also has a range of editing tools, allowing users to manipulate audio in a variety of ways.
