ARTURIA MODULAR V3
Modular V
Modular genesis giant.
Modular V reanimates the goliath instrument that started it all, in plugin form. Experience the machine that gave birth to modular synthesis in the ‘60s and changed the world, in all its pure analog glory, respectfully enhanced to surpass its hardware predecessor.
Switched
on synthesis
The legacy that introduced the synthesizer to popular music, modeled to perfection and made even more magnificent.
Nothing sounds like a modular synth, and no modular synth is like the one that made it out of the studio and onto the stage to mesmerize audiences worldwide. Modular V has been brought to life with True Analog Emulation® modeling, giving you a sound no other modern synth or plug-in can touch. Developed in partnership with the original instrument’s inventor, it lets you enjoy the same sound design madness favored by pioneers from Tangerine Dream to Trent Reznor - all from the comfort of your DAW setup.
Ultimate Flexibility
Modular V’s huge selection of modules leaves it entirely up to you what happens to the sound - connect the dots and explore a true synthesis blank canvas.
Start With Presets
New to modular? Daunted by Modular V’s myriad of connections and controls? Take a shortcut to gigantic sound with its built-in library of expertly-designed presets.
It Sounds Real Because It Is
You don’t have to choose between the sound of hardware and the convenience of software. Modular V captures everything that made the original so satisfying to work with.
Go Offroad
Enjoy every unexpected result and get inspired with every tweak - Modular V is designed to encourage experimentation and total creative freedom.
Rhymes
with vogue
Electronic music synthesis captivated Wendy Carlos, Keith Emerson, Tangerine Dream, and even The Beatles. Early Modular systems from a beloved inventor are why.
Dr. Bob Moog is virtually synonymous with synthesizers. It was his modular designs — and a little help from his friends — that took synthesis out of the realm of esoterica and made it a popular tool for composers and performers across all musical styles.
A New Yorker born in 1934 with a background in piano, he produced Theremins in the 1950s after being impressed with Leon Theremin’s touchless instrument. Upon meeting composer Herb Deutsch, the two immediately hit it off and their collaboration produced the first voltage-controlled oscillator. Their first modular synth followed in 1964 and was the talk of the Audio Engineering Society convention. The influx of orders led to new modular systems, culminating in the I, II, and III in 1967.
Musical
Majesty
Modular V’s user interface is a tower of power.
Modular systems often spanned multiple cabinets. Modular V is so realistic that it does, too. Inspired by the largest offerings of the original maker, it combines historically authentic layout with the modern ergonomics you need.
01. Patch It Like a Pro
Simply drag from one patch point to another to make cable connections. Destinations that work are highlighted in red.
02. Oscillator Army
Build thick, earth-shaking timbres with nine oscillators plus three Driver oscillators.
03. Truly Modular
Modules include all the audio and control signal jacks found on the originals and you can even “mult” cables in a single jack. Get as simple or as complicated as you want.
04. Swap ’Em Out
Select and configure a variety of filter, envelope, and modulation source modules across the top cabinet.
05. Bodes Well
Module choices include classic 24dB ladder as well as multimode filters, and even the rare and oft-misunderstood Bode Frequency Shifter.
Modular
Gone Modern
Go everywhere a hardware modular can – and a few places it can’t.
Needless to say, we’d be crazy not to take advantage of all the things it’s easier to do in software. We pumped up Modular V with features that fit it right into computer-based music workflows, while preserving all the best aspects of the modular experience.
01. MIDI Modular!
A modular synth where every control can respond to MIDI? Not on the classics. Not on today’s Euroracks. Only here.
02. Poly Pandemonium
Modulars were mainly played monophonically. Make Modular V poly with this switch — or multiply its oscillators with Unison mode.
03. Breadcrumbs
It’s challenging to pick up where you left off with hardware modulars. With Undo/Redo and Undo History, your sound design is safe and available in an instant.
04. X/Y Controllers
Two X/Y joystick controllers have patchable inputs for each axis. Of course they’re MIDI assignable, adding even more real-time performance control.
05. Standalone Volume Envelopes
Need quick volume envelopes with no patching required? We’ve built them right into Modular V to speed up your modular flow.
06. These Followers are Leaders
With four independent and patchable key followers, a run up or down the keyboard can produce complex musical results.
