Authentic sound with more control
Arturia presents the Synclavier V with more immediate hands-on control than ever, so you can more easily get to grips with the complex design parameters available. Whereas the original involved an array of buttons to select parameters and a single knob, Arturia has instead included a knob-per-function interface. This intuitive interface gives you easy access to synthesis without limits to create all the sounds you can imagine.
Powerful sound design parameters
To create complex and rich sounds, Syncalvier V offers up to 12 partials. Each is a complete additive and FM synthesis chain with its own volume and harmonic envelope, FM parameters, and time slice behaviours. You'll get precise control over broad stroke control settings also, such as pan, transpose, and overall envelope offsets. Furthermore, add sophisticated movement with stand-alone vibrato and stereo controls, as well as signature multi-pattern, tempo-sync-able arpeggiator and polyphonic portamento.
Modern features influence a deeper sound
An advanced interface unlocks modern sound design features and more potential for unique sound design than ever. In this interface you can use or design any waveform for both carrier and modulator of the FM pair, and then stack up to 12 of them for rich tones. A comprehensive sampling engine lets you loop, trim, and tune your samples to perfection, then take up to 50 snapshots of your partial in time to totally transform your sounds. Mix, pan, tune, and transpose all partials in one place using a convenient mixer tab. Furthermore, split layer, and crossfade all partials across a MIDI keyboard so that they respond to velocity and modulation individually. Take modulation to the next level with a 16 x 16 mod matrix for each partial. Finally, three effects slots, micro tunings, and control over a vintage-digital ratio add up to a truly dynamic and unique instrument.
Powered by TAE technology
Using proprietary modelling algorithms, Synclavier V is able to recreate the iconic instruments down to the component parts to create unrivalled realism and immersion. Unmatched in analog emulation, Synclavier V is powered by TAE and Phi technologies. TAE offers component-level modelling to accurately present the characteristics and behaviour of the instrument, whilst Phi's state-of-the-art physical modelling brings the acoustic properties into the virtual world for hyper-realism. The result is truly a next-level sound that is indistinguishable from the original to add to your productions.
Reviews
"I literally can't do a track without the Synclavier V. I dreamed of having one when I worked on Michael Jackson's 'Invincible' album and thought the sounds were unreal but so hard to program. Now that Arturia has made a VST, the sounds are right on!" - Tim Kelly (Producer - Michael Jackson, Madonna, Boyz II Men)
"I've been getting back into some digital sounding synths lately and processing them with tube distortions so going way back to one of the first digital synths - The synclavier V is going to be brilliant." - Barry Burns (Mogwai)
