Synthi V

Synthi V is a software emulation of the classic EMS Synthi AKS, a legendary British synthesizer from the 1970s that was known for its unique sound and patching matrix interface.

Some key features of Synthi V include: 3 oscillators, 1 filter, 2 envelopes, 1 LFO, a step sequencer, ring modulator, spring reverb, and a patching matrix interface.

The patching matrix interface is a unique feature of the Synthi AKS that allows users to create complex modulation and routing configurations by physically plugging wires into different jacks on the synthesizer. The software emulation of this interface in Synthi V allows users to recreate these configurations digitally.

Synthi V is a monophonic synthesizer, meaning it can only play one note at a time. However, it has three oscillators that can be used together to create rich, complex sounds.

Yes, Synthi V comes with over 800 presets created by top sound designers that cover a wide range of styles and genres. Users can also create and save their own presets.

Yes, Synthi V can be controlled via MIDI, allowing users to play it with a MIDI keyboard or other MIDI-enabled device. It also includes a built-in arpeggiator and sequencer that can be synced to an external MIDI clock.

Some other features of Synthi V include: a noise generator, a sample and hold module, an input for external audio processing, and the ability to control parameters via aftertouch, mod wheel, and other MIDI messages.

Synthi V is available as a standalone application for macOS and Windows, as well as in VST, AU, and AAX formats for use in most digital audio workstations (DAWs). It also runs as a plugin inside Arturia's Analog Lab software.

Yes, Synthi V supports microtuning, allowing users to create custom tuning scales and explore non-Western musical scales and modes.
