Arturia Synthi V - Vintage Synthesizer Virtual Instrument (VST/AU/AAX)

With its unique pin matrix, the EMS Synthi fit a modular synth into a briefcase and became the engine of British space rock, soundtracks, and electronica. Synthi V equips it with modern rocket boosters to make it a vessel of creative inspiration.

Famous for Pink Floyd's "On the Run," the EMS Synthi and its forerunner the VCS3 are the synths you don't realize you've heard everywhere. Roxy Music, LCD Soundsystem, The Who, Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk, King Crimson, and Brian Eno, were just a few of the artists who took it on sonic journeys. Where will Synthi V take you?

Features:

• A component-level model of the EMS Synthi AKS
• 3 oscillators with waveform mix, noise generator, 18 dB/oct resonant filter, output section with spring reverb modelling
• Modular architecture, allowing to route signals in unexpected ways
• Ring Modulator, loopable Envelope Shaper, 2 axis Joystick and Sample and Hold modules for advanced modulations
• Original keyboard sequencer module with sync to DAW tempo
• 2 matrix behavior modes: modern and vintage for cross-talk simulation
• 5 assignable voltage functions to create multi-point envelopes and LFOs synced to DAW tempo
• Advanced joystick automation module for modulating parameters in a 2D space
• Matrix pin amounts modulations possibilities (with 4 independent groups)
• 10 effects, Reverb Phaser, Flanger, Chorus, Overdrive, Delay, ...
• Up to 4 voices of polyphony
• Over 250 factory presets

A Singular Sound
Neither quite like a Mini nor quite like an ARP, the Synthi has a raw, aggressive quality that jumps out of the speakers. So will your music.

Bigger on the Inside
Like a certain blue telephone box, Synthi V packs incredible technology into a deceptively small package and will transport you through time and space.

Modeled to the Last Transistor
ARTURIA's renowned True Analog Emulation® modeling doesn't merely mimic the sound. It reproduces exactly how and why the original's components made that sound.

Jack of All Trades
Though the Synthi is known for special FX, Synthi V will add take-no-prisoners leads, basses, and atmospheres to any style of music you throw it at.

Every Band Needed a Synthi
Electronic Music Studios' VCS3 and Synxthi won the hearts and blew the minds of British musicians throughout the 1970s. Its inventors were beyond revolutionary.

Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sound
Synthi V's main interface captures all the charm of the original, with a handful of small tweaks that add up to a big difference. If you've ever used a hardware EMS synth, you'll feel right at home. If you've ever thought, "I wish my Synthi would do that," this does. If you're new to the Synthi universe, you'll forget you're playing a virtual instrument.

01. Enhanced VCOs
Synthi V's oscillators can quantize pitch to semitones and hard-sync VCO2 to VCO1. Or, control-drag on the knobs to make fine adjustments.

02. Put a Pin In It
Patch audio and control signals to destinations by clicking on the virtual pinboard. Sources and destinations are highlighted as you go.

03. Pintastic
Use a special group pin to route several signals to several places at once in the Advanced Panel.

04. Sample and Hold
Synthi V adds a sample-and-hold generator with its own row in the pin matrix, for cool non-linear modulation effects..

05. Synced On the Run
Synthi V preserved the legacy sequencer in all its glory, only now it optionally syncs to MIDI or your host DAW's project tempo.

06. Ready Player One
Assign each axis of the joystick to any destination you choose.

07. Attenuator Pins
The hardware used special pins if you wanted less of an audio or control signal to go somewhere. Click-hold on a pin to choose one.

Synthi and Synthier
Synthi V's Advanced Panel lets you write the history of the future. Since the Synthi's designers were early computer geeks, ARTURIA thought about what software-powered features they might have added if they'd had the chance. Then they did it.

Function Junction
Functions can behave like an LFO, a complex multi-segment envelope, or anything in between. Route up to five of them to any parameter in Synthi V.

Joystick Command
Create automatic, tempo-syncable joystick moves (or trigger them manually) and assign even more joystick routings here. It gets crazy deep, crazy fast.

Pinboard Plus
With modern control sources like velocity, aftertouch, and an extra LFO, the advanced modulation matrix picks up where the original left off.

Group Pin Matrix
Here is where you can assign modulation sources to figure into any group pins you have in play on the main panel.

Sophisticated Sequencer
Create sequences of up to 32 steps and assign them to pitch or any other parameter in Synthi V.

Studio Grade Effects
Route Synthi V's final output through up to three effects at once, in series or parallel. Appropriate effects tempo-sync, including a stereo ping-pong delay.
