Deal: Darklight IIx by UVI 75% off
“Darklight IIx” is inspired by the classic Fairlight CMI IIx. Costing upwards of $100,000, the dream machine of the ‘80s was unattainable by most.
Used by countless prominent artists including Peter Gabriel, David Bowie, Michael Jackson, Kate Bush, Herbie Hancock, Jean Michel Jarre, Thomas Dolby and many more, it remains a highly regarded and sought after instrument.
Inspired By The Classic 80’s Dream Machine!
Suffering a fit of nostalgia as they often do, UVI decided to set about making a new instrument inspired by this legendary studio icon and ended up making three! Darklight contains:
- A Digital Synth – Bass, Brass, Bells, Strings, Guitar, Orchestral Hits, Synth, Drums, Percussion, FX, Keys, Piano, Organs, Winds, Reeds and Voice.
- A Digital Drum Machine – 80s-style beatbox with built-in retro step sequencer. Featuring hundreds of authentic vintage drum and percussion sounds in one place.
- A Multi-Phraser – Build and layer sounds to create your own loops and progressions with a distinct old-school digital flavor.
Each instrument comes with its own unique quirks and personality, suited for different tasks, all with the raw, lo-fi character of the original machine.
The result is an extremely fun and flexible set of instruments that gives new life to classic sounds and pushes these old voices into new sonic territory.
