This refill is was introduced in 2013 and it is absolutely huge and comes with a fantastic range of sounds, not just samples.
If you would rather read the comments from a user check this out.
The sounds were built with the real original Fairlight CMI background and we also added lots of other samples. And then we programmed. And programmed again.
The refill is truly a joy to browse through, play and use. Here’s a direct screenshot of working with one of the sounds in the Fairvox category: This patch was inspired by the 10CC classic “I’m not in love”. To inspect the Combinator more closely, right click on it and you can open it in another browser tab. Another way to inspect the patch is to look inside:
Combinator is a very clever idea; it is a software instrument that can hold other software instruments. As you can see we have the NN-XT sampler at top, folded here so to not give away clues to the programming of it.
The sampler in Reason also allows you to sample and edit samples on the fly, and if you just want to sample for the current song you are working on you can just save the song and all samples are included for instant recall.
So how is all of this routed? Well we can just press the TAB button on the keyboard to turn the rack:
All of this complex routing can be done manually, but it also happens automatically, or automagically, when you’ve got one unit selected and create more units. You might have more effects or other playful things, here the patch is assigned to the RPG-8 arpeggiator as well, sending polyphonic CV and Gate to the sampler.
The patch uses about no CPU at all on a modern computer. You can easily have 24 or more instruments like these running at the same time without any issues at all.
Demo tracks: We made a complete album using our Fairlight CMI refills and it is on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music and more places. Here’s the links playable right here, pointing to YouTube and Spotify.
