Fairlight Instruments has announced the release of Fairlight for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.
The legendary Fairlight Computer Musical Instrument – in your pocket! Create music the way the major artists of the ’80s did: Alan Parsons, Brian Eno, Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel, Stevie Wonder and so many more. Listen to the actual sounds used to create that instantly recognisable sound of the ’80s.
The CMI’s Page R was the world’s first screen-based rhythm sequencer. Today every sampler, digital synthesizer, sequencer and audio workstation can trace its lineage back to this legendary machine. Now you can have, in your pocket or on your iPad, a piece of history developed by Fairlight staff who worked on the CMI in the ’80s.
The Fairlight app is available to purchase for $9.99 USD. An in-app upgrade to the Pro version is $39.99 USD. Compare features here.

The BOSS GT-100 is an excellent guitar effects processor, but I prefer the BOSS GT-10 because it has all of the effect buttons (Compressor, Preamps, EQ, FX1, FX2, Chorus, Delay, Reverb, etc.) right on the front of the unit so I can instantly see what effects are on/off, and I can instantly select the effect I want to edit. I also prefer having the CTRL1 and CTRL2 pedals on the BOSS GT-10 vs. the Loop and Accel pedals on the BOSS GT-100. Most of the effects (including the Graphic and Parametric EQ’s) appear to be the same in the BOSS GT-100 as in the BOSS GT-10 as well; I was hoping for a 16/32/64/128-band Graphic EQ and a Parametric EQ that would allow me to adjust at least 20 or more individual frequencies (at 100Hz increments; rather than skipping every 1000Hz or so). The BOSS GT-100 does not have all of the same amp types and so if a person transfers BOSS GT-10 patches into the BOSS GT-100 the patches will not sound the same; I highly recommend that Manufacturers who make guitar effect processors include all of the same effects (and parameters) in the new/future guitar effect processors as the older units had; By doing so awesome guitar sounds (called patches) will be able to be transferred onto the new units and years from now there will be thousands of awesome sounding patches that can be used in old and new guitar effect processors. It always comes down to a person wanting great sounds (called patches); And if a Manufacturer does not include all of the same effects (and parameters) as the older units, then all the awesome guitar sounds (called patches) become useless in the newer guitar effects processors; and the process of making great sounding patches starts all over again! So it is very important that guitar effect processor Manufacturers include all of the same effect (and parameters) from the older units into the newer units and make sure when the patches are transferred they sound 100% (not 99%) the same!
