Arturia Acid V Virtual Instrument, Download

Corrosive bassline machine
Acid V channels the cult-classic bass synth that pushed the underground into overdrive. Pump your mixes full of reactive ever-evolving bass grooves, unleash mutated sequences fizzing with distortion, and experiment with extra features for revitalized rave energy.

Enter the rave reactor
The abrasive, hypnotic sound that gets synapses firing and feet tapping unlike anything else. Give your bass the acidic treatment and set off a sonic chain reaction that'll heat up your mix to lethal levels.

Little box, big bass
The magic silver box that defined acid, modeled down to component-level detail, capturing the pure sonic essence of a certified bass classic.

In constant motion
Acid V is all about movement; instantly spawn jagged polymetric sequences, hypnotic scale-based patterns, and endless sonic mutations.

Rave revitalized
The strobe-lit dance movements of the '80s, '90s, and early '00s share the same analog DNA; now it's yours to manipulate, reinvent, and transform.

A mutated classic
Steer the 303 sound into experimental territory with upgraded features & effects delivering sounds far darker, deeper, and more impactful than the original.

Unleashing sonic chemistry
Discover a raw, biting, in-your-face analog sound that never stops moving.

Fusing the 303 sound with a cocktail of creative and experimental features, Acid V is all about launching a sequence and tweaking, mutating, evolving. Spark note changes, drop in slides and accents, and - of course - making that abrasive resonant filter scream.

The origins of acid
Many of history's most iconic and sought-after instruments were not necessarily popular at the time of their introduction; often intended for one thing but transformed by users into something else entirely, ushering entire movements into existence.

What we added
This is no ordinary 303 clone. Acid V has been deliberately mutated with fresh and experimental features designed with explosive sonic reactions in mind.

A bigger, better voice
Get deeper and more deranged bassline sounds with a 2-octave range sub oscillator and vibrato that goes from slow detune to audio rate.

Distortion
The 303 sound is so synonymous with distortion that you can't have one without the other. We included 14 algorithms to satisfy every crunchy craving.

An evolved sequencer
Acid V features the fast, musical, advanced sequencer 303 fans have always wanted; you can even bounce its unique patterns to MIDI for use with clips and other instruments.

Scales & Transmutation
Alter your sequence's DNA and create fresh patterns in one click with Transmutation, and lock into musical scales specially curated with modern styles in mind.

Under the hatch
Crack open Acid V's virtual panel to uncover detailed analog fine-tuning, letting you emulate the specific pitchy, drifty, noisy quirks of genuine vintage units.

Modulation & effects
Create evolving movements & vivid sonic coloration without leaving Acid V's interface; 3 modulators, 4 FX slots, and 17 FX algorithms for next-gen acid sound.

A closer look
Zoom in on the quick-fire workflow of Acid V's interface, from familiar voice controls to retrofitted modern features.

Waveform selector
The classic sawtooth and square waveforms, perfectly modeled, offering totally distinct harmonic characteristics for your basslines.

Voice & filter controls
A row of controls for adjusting Acid V's voice, primarily controlling its signature shrieking filter: riding the cutoff, pushing resonance to the limit. and finding punchy sweet spots with envelope. controls.

Sub Osc
Add more depth and contrasting texture to Acid V's sound with 2 octaves of sub oscillator, plus 3 waveforms to choose from.

Vibrato
Dial in subtle pitchy movements, go full FM with cranked rates, or anything in between with Acid V's additional vibrato control.

Distortion
Choose from 14 algorithms, analog or digital, and customize your drive & dry/wet blend.

Sequencer & performance controls
Reflecting the controls on its hardware predecessor, Acid V's main sequencer panel lets you quickly adjust sequencing, arpeggiation, note input, and more ideal for interacting with your patterns in real-time.

Hidden fine-tuning

The advanced panel
Go from hands-on bass box to acid sound design playground at the touch of a button. Acid V's Advanced panel lets you dive deep into its sequencing, modulation, and effects for a whole new trip.

Sequencer & Arpeggiator
Acid V is a sequencing & arpeggiation playground. This dedicated panel blows open every individual element of its powerful sequencing, from scale-based pattern generation to polymetric controls. Whatever your style, quickly build thumping bass sequences, wild mechanical rhythms, and unpredictable patterns that refuse to repeat. It even features over 350 sequence presets to get your grooves off the ground.

Modulators
3 customizable function generators give you hands-free movement sound design flexibility that far exceeds the capabilities of classic hardware. Choose from familiar LFO-like configurations, or go full custom by drawing your own modulation shapes, and quickly assign them to dozens of parameters across Acid V's interface.

Effects
Transform Acid V's sound far beyond the sum of its components with 4 FX slots and 17 total FX to choose from, including Pitch-Shift Delay, Super Unison, Multiband Compressor, and more. Turn basslines into swirling stereo soundscapes, resonant rave melodies into crushed industrial textures.
