The Synclavier V faithfully recreates the elite digital synthesizer/workstation that started it all, powering some of the biggest hits and film soundtracks of the early ’80s with its unique rich, edgy sounds. A technological marvel and status symbol, the Synclavier dwarfed literally every other synthesizer of the 1980s, in both power and price. Its unique approach to sound design is just as relevant today as it was all those decades ago.
Synthesis Without Limits
A single Preset can have up to 12 Partials. Each is a complete additive and FM synthesis chain.
Compelling Counterpoints
Every partial has its own volume and harmonic envelope. Timbres can weave around and through each other for ear-engaging sounds.
Sonic Surgery
Control every aspect of each partial here, including FM parameters and time-slice behavior. There is no more precise way to build sounds from the ground up.
Paint in Broad Strokes
Control settings that affect all Partials in common here, such as pan, transpose, and overall envelope offsets.
Space Station
Synclavier V provides very sophisticated control over a stand-alone vibrato and your sound’s movement in the stereo picture.
