These budget synths from the 1980s never really made it out of the DX7’s shadow during their time, but it’s no secret among synth geeks that their phase distortion synthesis is actually a blast to play with, and they’re now highly sought-after. And it’s this segment of the V Collection that sees a promising new addition: The CZ V, an emulation of the Casio CZ-101 and CZ-1000. Later, they began to add emulations of iconic digital instruments like the Synclavier and DX7. And of course, all of the classics like the Minimoog V, ARP 2600 V, Prophet V, and SEM V are still there in V Collection 7.

If you're one of the lucky ones who owns or has played a Synthi or VCS3, you'll not only be amazed at how accurate the model is, but also blown away by its dramatic enhancements and new features.Emulations of classic analog and digital synthesizers were what got Arturia started, long before the company expanded to controllers and hardware synths like the MiniBrute and MicroFreak.

Now you can use it to turn some heads of your own. Synthi V is the perfect evolution of the synth that turned a lot of heads.

Cue Pink Floyd’s “On the Run” from “The Dark Side of the Moon” LP. That additional versatility led to more experimentation outside of melodic norms and into the more electronic realms of psychedelia and sci-fi effects. Where most competitive designs like the Minimoog sacrificed flexibility to size and simplicity, EMS retained a modular heart through the genius of one of the first matrix patchbays to grace a synth. The British-born EMS family of synths-featuring the sonically identical Synthi AKS and VCS3-were among the first to distill modular synthesizer functionality into a more portable form. What new sounds will you conjure up? Compact form meets modular function Synthi V will bring out the synth wizard in you. Venture beyond unusual lead and bass sounds to create soundscapes and sci-fi effects ranging from beautiful to bizarre and everything in between. Synthi V brings you all the experimental excitement of EMS’ legendary 3-oscillator analog synths-now infused with thoroughly modern enhancements.
