Distinctive sound The SEM is renowned for its 12dB-per-octave multi-mode filter allowing continuous variation between lowpass bandpass and highpass modes. To create sounds with impressive low-end the sub-oscillator can be set one or two octaves below the two VCOs. In addition to the original single LFO SEM V includes an extra LFO providing modulation options for VCO frequency or pulse width and both LFOs are tempo-syncable. The classic arpeggiator generates retro riffs with tempo-sync capabilities random mode hold and up to a four-octave range. Utilize the mixer to balance the volume of sawtooth or pulse waves as well as the sub-oscillator or white noise before entering the filter section. Lastly enhance your SEM V sound by effortlessly adjusting the built-in overdrive chorus and delay effects to achieve the perfect finishing touch. Advanced panel Explore the Advanced Panel of SEM V to unlock a wealth of innovative sound design features enhancing the original sound while adding powerful functionalities that would be expensive in hardware. The already robust SEM is further elevated with these additional features transforming it into an advanced powerhouse. With the Programmer you can control six parameters for up to eight virtual SEMs simultaneously offering the sophistication of an Oberheim Eight-Voice. The Mod Matrix expands the SEMs modulation capabilities with eight independent routings boasting eight sources and 26 destinations. The Envelope Follower allows for precise keyboard tracking on any synth by enabling six customizable settings to change based on the note played following a user-defined curve. Lastly fine-tune and synchronize the built-in FX including a stereo ping-pong mode for the delay Modulations motions and mixing Where the original SEM had only a single LFO SEM V adds a second and gives you the ability to modulate VCO frequency or pulse width from either. On top of that you get access to the classic arpeggiator that makes it easy to generate riffs with a random mode hold and up to a four-octave range. Motion and depth can be brought to your sounds with overdrive chorus and delay effects. Dial it all in with a comprehensive mixer to change the volume of sawtooth or pulse waves as well as the sub-oscillator or white noise into the filter section. Powered by TAE technology Using proprietary modelling algorithms SEM V is able to recreate the iconic instruments down to the component parts to create unrivalled realism and immersion. Unmatched in analog emulation SEM V is powered by TAE and Phi technologies. TAE offers component-level modelling to accurately present the characteristics and behaviour of the instrument whilst Phis 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 “Arturia has done it again! I am proud to be a part of the beta testing for the SEM V… the original SEM was one of my first and favourite synths. Arturia has nailed it… plus polyphony without the tuning nightmare. What more can you ask for?” – Steve Lindsey (Producer/Composer) “An absolute classic that I am extremely glad has been virtualised and a true asset to anyones sonic arsenal.” – Roger Lyons (Producer/Composer – Alt J/Oscillator Hell) “The SEM V has a simplicity and elegance that was a feature of many 70s synths. The 8-voice programmer module in particular is a joy to use especially in combination with the arpeggiator delivering beautifully evolving sequences and pulsating arps.” – Brendan Perry (Dead Can Dance) FeaturesTwo oscillators Sawtooth wave and variable-width pulse wave with PWM Sine wave LFO 12dB/oct multi-mode filter with low-pass high pass band-pass and notch Two ADS envelope generators Extra LFO Noise Sub-oscillator On-board effects Arpeggiator Portamento Polyphony up to 32 and 8-voice multitimbrality New 8-voice programmer module Advanced keyboard follow module Modulation Matrix module Works in standalone 101 new factory presets Forward retrig mode for the 8-voice programmer Reassign mode for the 8-voice programmerGeneralCompatible across all major DAWs on both Windows and Mac Download manage and organize your plug-in and updates in Arturia Software Center Fully scalable GUI fits any screen size for optimized workflow MIDI compatible offers real-time control with your favourite keyboard or controller Step-by-step in-app tutorials showing you crucial parameters and tips inside each plug-in Powerful preset browser lets you filter organise and save your favourite presets to recall in any future sessionsSpecifications Operating system:Mac: macOS 10.13+ Windows: Windows 8.1+ Ram:Mac: 4 GB Windows: 4 GB Disk space:Mac: 2GB Windows: 6 GB CPUMac: 2.5 GHz CPU Windows: 2.5 GHz CPU Format:Mac: Standalone AU AAX NKS or VST Windows: Standalone NKS AAX or VST Product code: 1200-34
