Intuitive design refined
The original hardware was known for its powerful yet simple controls, an easy-to-learn interface that Synthx V enhances in every way that makes sense.

We also took the opportunity to unlock some component-level features and add a few of our own that give you even more ways to create phenomenal, expressive sounds without the added complexity.

DCO perfection
Two digitally controlled oscillators provide the sonic spark for Synthx V, renowned for providing stability and precision while maintaining a lush, warm and characterful analog sound.

Multitimbral magnificence
When combined as layer A & B, Synthx V's bi-timbral architecture offers an expansive sound design playground that is greater than the sum of its parts and perfect for complex, evolving sounds.

Panoramic voicing
With voice layering, independent panning, stereo voice spread, dual analog chorus and a new dedicated unison, explore Synthx V's powerfully wide soundstage.

Multimode filter
Famous for being one of the first powersynths to include high-pass filtering, we recreated this legendary filter - as well as including a new low-pass mode that lay dormant in the original circuitry.

Choose an age
Introduce some circuit decay and detuning with the Vintage Knob, a continuous control that allows you to fine-tune the synth's calibration from crystal-clear to worn-and-torn.

Advanced sonic treatment
Dare to explore territory no Synthex has ever been with a one-of-a-kind Multi-Arp, 4 slot Effects rack, drag-and-drop modulation and expressive keyboard customization like MPE and Polyphonic Aftertouch.

The advanced panel
Push the panoramic analog charm of this Italian legend into entirely new sonic territory with Synthx V's limitlessly creative advanced panel.

Turn on sophisticated fractal melodies at the touch of a button, modulate any parameter with inventive non-linearity, stack up to 4 effects or map custom aftertouch controls and create complex evolving patches with ease that redefine what this synth is capable of.

Multi-Arp
An innovative take on the hardware's original 4-track sequencer, the Multi-Arp combines an intuitive geometric design with 4 stacked arpeggiation layers that let you create sophisticated fractal melodies and intricate polyrhythmic sounds in just a few clicks.

Create counterpoints and polymeters, transpose melodies and assign them to different layers, and listen to the incredibly hypnotic results that flow from your fingertips.

Effects
Shape and process the sound of Synthx V with 4 effects slots and up to 17 powerful effects to choose from - from expansive reverb to denaturing distortion and superwide unison.

Add some delay for an elegant audio tail or up the sonic swirls with a phaser.

Modulators
Easily access drag-and-drop modulation that rewards imaginative routing. Choose from additional Envelopes, Random and Step modulators or the infinitely shapeable Function generator and add creative motion and dynamics to any parameter.

Simply drag-and-drop to link a modulation and watch as the mod ring springs into action. Modulate the filter cutoff frequency to create some dynamic timbral shifts or vary your modulators to enter a world of automation madness.

Keyboard
Have full creative input and make each note tell a story with customizable keyboard velocity (incl. release velocity), aftertouch, modwheel, keyboard tracking and MPE slide, with dedicated curves and multiple routing options for each.

Drag-and-drop to link keyboard controls with any parameter. Try linking release velocity with the amp envelope release to let your key depression control how long the note takes to fade out.

Macros
Adjust and edit your macros with ease with a new dedicated option window. You can also link each macro to any number of parameters you choose, allowing you to perform an ensemble of controls with a single dial, without needing to open the advanced panel.
