Digital and analog hybrid Capturing the intricate detail of the 8-bit 5503 DOC that powered the original the SQ80 V delivers a uniquely digital sound full of organic character. Ranging from delicate to rough and aggressive plus highly flexible and ready to customise for play in seconds. When these components collide with the CEM 3379 analog filter the unique and powerful character of the SQ80 is born. Utilising exclusive True Analog Emulation (TAE) Technology Arturia has remodelled it in meticulous detail to offer a virtual instrument that growls just like the original hardware. Furthermore Arturia has implemented subtle analog dispersion to reproduce the detailed dynamic behaviour of analog circuity that brings a truly organic sound. Bringing digital and analog worlds together enjoy the versatility of digital oscillators with the warmth of an intricately emulated analog filter and output circuit for heated lo-fi timbres filled with gorgeous imperfections. Featuring the best of both worlds here is a synth that produces an array of unprecedented timbres that suit any style. Marking out a unique sonic territory rather than glassy and precise like other digital synths the SQ80 V is crunchy loud and erratic. The nostalgic tones that featured on a huge range of 80s and 90s hits soundtracks and performances sound great in modern mixes. Waveforms and sound design Its 8-bit oscillators and limitless hybrid waveform combinations define the unique voice of the SQ80 V. Discover thousands of possible wave combinations instrument-style transients hidden waveforms and VFX transwaves that work with and beyond the sound design potential of the original. Through an intuitive workflow it is easy to combine and manipulate waveforms with flexible voice and modulation controls that anyone can get to grips with. Three digital oscillators can be freely assigned distinct waveforms; SQ80 V builds a library of waveforms from the original plus hundreds more designed by Arturia ranging from familiar to abstract. All this gives you a wide range of sounds to develop including evolving strings plucky basses and glitchy percussion. Intuitive digital synthesis workflow Although digital synths have notoriously been difficult to program SQ80 V presents an intuitive interface allowing you to instantly dive into sound design with a hassle-free workflow. Straightforward menus an informative screen and clearly defined buttons mean that designing sounds is immediate versatile and fun. Now enhanced with a range of modern features and DAW compatibility the SQ80 V is more accessible than ever. SQ80V is split into three main tabs to navigate its comprehensive sound design abilities. The Hardware View delivers an authentic experience similar to the original hardware with the main interface being stripped down to provide access to the main controls. The Synthesis Tab presents more detailed controls of the digital oscillators each offers a dedicated amplifier and hundreds of waveforms. This simple signal chain is comparable to classic analog synths with a highly-accessible workflow despite its complex sound. Plus just like the original you can explore powerful sync and amplitude modulation configuration to take your sounds even further into abstract sonic territories. Placing SQ80 V in a mix is simple thanks to the Effects Tab. A powerful array of 15 effects rounds off sounds with a creative flourish. From modulation to dynamics in series or parallel careful application of the SQ80 Vs effects can add subtle changes to help fit in your mix or radically transform it to something entirely new. A range of modern enhancements Striking a balance between 80s classic and characterful modern production workhorse Arturia has added hundreds more waveforms as well as a number of extra creative features whilst staying faithful to the originals distinct retro charm. To take the classic SQ80 sound further than ever before Arturia has brought an arpeggiator as well as unison dispersion expanded envelopes a mod mixer and MPE compatibility into the mix. Thanks to all this the SQ80 V can stand up to any modern synthesis tool. Powered by technology Using proprietary modelling algorithms SQ80 V is able to recreate the iconic instruments down to the component parts to create unrivalled realism and immersion. Unmatched in analog emulation SQ80 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 “This thing is great! Plenty of inspiring sounds to get things started and the Synthesis and Effects tab are laid out in a way that makes it easy to create interesting and unique sounds quickly.” – Joel Little (Producer / Songwriter) “The SQ80 V is a triple oscillator beast of a synth. Like all of Arturias plugins the analog character of the SQ80 V is authentic. It comes with a deep preset library and the capabilities to quickly sound design unique sounds and textures.” – Zale Epstein (Kendrick Lamar / Eminem) “Taking the very best of the SQ80 and adding those extra tweaks and enhancements. The SQ80 V stays sonically true to the original vibe with those wonderful digital waves coupled with one of the ebst sounding analog filters.” – Steve Levine (Producer / Engineer) Features Crosswave synthesizer with digital and analog hybrid components 8-bit 5503 DOC digital synthesis for unique organic sounds CEM 3379 analog filter for warmth and character True Analog Emulation (TAE) Technology for faithful reproduction of original hardware Limitless waveform combinations for sound design Intuitive digital synthesis workflow with straightforward menus and clearly defined buttons Three tabs for comprehensive sound design: Hardware View Synthesis Tab and Effects Tab 15 high-quality effects for added creative possibilities Additional modern enhancements including arpeggiator unison dispersion expanded envelopes mod mixer and MPE compatibility Powered by TAE and Phi technologies offering component-level modeling and state-of-the-art physical modeling for hyper-realism.
