French music masters Arturia have reworked the classic British EMS modular synth into a software instrument; staying true to the original sound and ethos of the original “silver machine” while adding some groundbreaking new features.
Bringing their modeling expertise to the Synthi AKS and VCS3, and combining them into one full-featured software instrument, a new generation of musicians can now enjoy those legendary sounds. Loved by Brian Eno, Pink Floyd, and Hawkwind, the original hardware synth was really unstable, with a lot of work you could make it sound in tune, but that wasn’t really what it was famous for sound effects, drones, and psychedelic textures were what put this synth on the map.
Synthi V puts all of the imperfect patch-pin analog synthesis at your fingertips, and with a simple flick of a switch, you can quantize oscillators and remove analog cross-talk, making it the best of both analog and digital. Revamped with powerful new features and loaded with awesome presets, experimental sound designers and modern producers alike will fall in love with the “battleships” style programming and avant-garde sound possibilities.

Put the joy in “Joystick”
Organically control your sound, and program simple or complex movement paths to use as modulations on any parameter.
Function generators
Create your own functions with up to 16 points, free or quantized, and assignable to anything you want. One shot, or looping, for ultimate control.
Awesome effects
The original instrument included some great vintage effects modules, and Arturia has pushed the boat out with even more studio quality effects.
Great presets
