Arturia Modular V3 Software Synthesizer

The Revival of A Legend

This is the one that switched on the synthesizer in popular music. Huge, massive, powerful, flexible all of this recreated in great detail for you.

Arturia, in partnership with Dr. Bob Moog, has brought you the synth that started it all. From Wendy Carlos's famous 'Switched on Bach' to Keith Emerson's live use, this huge modular showed that electronics could be musical thus being the catalyst for every synthesizer we see today. The towering modular synthesizer that has dominated the world of music since the 1960s has been revived!

Modular synthesis at its best

“Probably the number one system” (Peter Forrest, The A-Z of Analog Synthesizers)

Originally sold as custom units to artists such as Tomita, Klaus Schultz, the Beatle's, Tangerine Dream and many others, we have recreated a giant collection of the best modules for you here. With up to 9 oscillators, 3 filter slots, 2 LFOs, 6 envelopes, VCAs, mixers, a sequencer and more, this classic synth offers you no limitations for your creative endeavors.

Much more than a Modular

Modular V includes some very rare module replicas like the Bode frequency shifter and the 928 sample and hold modules, as well as a few innovative effects developed by Arturia’s team like the formant filter and ring modulator. Modular V will give you a lifetime of sound design possibilities.

A Little Bit of History...

It was in 1964 that the first prototype of a Mg synthesizer was produced. It was presented at the AES Show (Audio Engineering Society) and immediately generated a huge amount of interest. In 1965 Bob Moog decided to release the 900 series for commercial sale, and in 1967 he made the decision to produce different machines, each with a certain number of modules. This marked the birth of modular systems I, II and III.

Pure analog

TAE, standing for True Analog Emulation, is a new technology developed by Arturia, enabling the digital reproduction of analog circuits. The implementation of TAE in Modular V results in:

• aliasing-free oscillators, at no extra CPU cost.
• better reproduction of analog oscillators: the condensers' unload and the oscillators' instability are simulated, helping to reproduce a typical warm sound.
• very accurate reproduction of the legendary Mg 24 dB low-pass filter.
• implementation of soft clipping, i.e. reproduction of the filters' current limiting function.

Preset Browser
