The wonderful and very much updated NI Kontakt version of our reknown, unique and complete Fairlight CMI library.
The 2,5 GB & 2,400 patch library Way Beyond Fairlight Kontakt / 2026 edition is now available. A result of several years of sampling and programming, this is optimized for Kontakt.
It contains some of our best synth and drum machine inspired work. All the famous sounds we recorded from the classic Fairlight IIx system, with spices from Synclavier, JX8P, D-50, Linndrum, Moog Prodigy and more.
Remembering how the Fairlight CMI was used back in the 80s, it wasn’t the final word on synthesis and sampling. Often surrounded by other fine keyboards, high end effects, sampling tools, amazing drum machines – so this is how we wanted to present the sounds.
Sound types include mallets, voices, acoustic, analog, bass, brass, digital, drums, flutes, guitars, keys, leads, organs and much more. The library works for any style of electronic music, from hip hop to Art Of Noise-inspired experiments to dubstep, house, techno, jazz, rock, etc.
All sounds from Fairlight Kontakt R3, Way Beyond Synclavier and Dreampads are included. There is also an upgrade option available for previous users
Note: If you only have Kontakt Player, usage is time restricted to 15 minutes, so in that case; freeze the tracks and it works.
The patches are sorted into categories like bass, drums & percussion, mallets & chimes, plukz & guitars etc. The grand total number of patches is well over 2,000 and everything is designed to be very inspiring to use, instantly playable.
If you have the Reason version and want more, consider getting this Kontakt version as well. Or the other way around: You will be pleasantly surprised as they are completely different from each other — and from any other Fairlight library out there. Demo tracks are perhaps better than words.
