Synthi V completely captures the spirit of the unique analog synth that burst out of ’70s London to inspire the entire emerging electronic music world, and it has new superpowers to inspire your world today. Since the Synthi’s designers were early computer geeks, we thought about what software-powered features they might have added if they’d had the chance. Then we 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.
Set the Controls: 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,” ours does. If you’re new to the Synthi universe, you’ll forget you’re playing a virtual instrument.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Pintastic: Use a special group pin to route several signals to several places at once in the Advanced Panel.
- Sample and Hold: We’ve added a sample-and-hold generator with its own row in the pin matrix, for cool non-linear modulation effects..
- Synced On the Run: We’ve preserved the legacy sequencer in all its glory, only now it optionally syncs to MIDI or your host DAW’s project tempo.
- Ready Player One: Assign each axis of the joystick to any destination you choose.
- 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.
