Key Features
The Arturia SEM V is a stunning recreation of the classic Oberheim Synthesizer Expander Module. Up to eight modules produce a complete and gigantic sound in a minimalist machine and a range of modern capabilities bring vintage charm and contemporary convenience together. Originally designed as a companion module to other synths, the SEM offered a multi-mode filter and two oscillators with a distinct sound. Combining the SEM into larger systems takes its already gigantic sound to another level.
Discover a wealth of creative sound design features in SEM V's Advanced Panel. With the power of software, Arturia has expanded the original capabilities, transforming the SEM into an advanced powerhouse. Enjoy eight virtual SEMs with sophisticated control, an enhanced modulation matrix with eight sources and 26 destinations, precise keyboard tracking through the envelope follower, and customizable tempo-synced effects, including a stereo ping-pong mode for the delay. Elevate your sound design experience with the cutting-edge functionality of SEM V.
Up to 32-voice polyphony brings SEM V's true analog emulation to life with a massive effect. Boasting plenty of musical range, almost every musical style can utilise the versatile sound of the SEM. Meticulous modelling of the SEM's core controls has resulted in an enhanced version that remains true to its original spirit. The versatile sound palette delivers powerful leads, basses, pads, brass, strings, and special FX with ease. The SEM's signature feature, a 12dB-per-octave filter, offers seamless transitioning between low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass modes, providing you with an even more dynamic and authentic experience.
Product Ref: 254532
The SEM is renowned for its 12dB-per-octave multi-mode filter, allowing continuous variation between lowpass, bandpass, and highpass modes. To create sounds with impressive low-end, the sub-oscillator can be set one or two octaves below the two VCOs. In addition to the original single LFO, SEM V includes an extra LFO, providing modulation options for VCO frequency or pulse width, and both LFOs are tempo-syncable. The classic arpeggiator generates retro riffs with tempo-sync capabilities, random mode, hold, and up to a four-octave range. Utilize the mixer to balance the volume of sawtooth or pulse waves, as well as the sub-oscillator or white noise, before entering the filter section. Lastly, enhance your SEM V sound by effortlessly adjusting the built-in overdrive, chorus, and delay effects to achieve the perfect finishing touch.
Explore the Advanced Panel of SEM V to unlock a wealth of innovative sound design features, enhancing the original sound while adding powerful functionalities that would be expensive in hardware. The already robust SEM is further elevated with these additional features, transforming it into an advanced powerhouse. With the Programmer, you can control six parameters for up to eight virtual SEMs simultaneously, offering the sophistication of an Oberheim Eight-Voice. The Mod Matrix expands the SEM's modulation capabilities with eight independent routings, boasting eight sources and 26 destinations. The Envelope Follower allows for precise keyboard tracking on any synth by enabling six customizable settings to change based on the note played, following a user-defined curve. Lastly, fine-tune and synchronize the built-in FX, including a stereo ping-pong mode for the delay,
Where the original SEM had only a single LFO, SEM V adds a second and gives you the ability to modulate VCO frequency or pulse width from either. On top of that, you get access to the classic arpeggiator that makes it easy to generate riffs with a random mode, hold, and up to a four-octave range. Motion and depth can be brought to your sounds with overdrive, chorus, and delay effects. Dial it all in with a comprehensive mixer to change the volume of sawtooth or pulse waves, as well as the sub-oscillator or white noise into the filter section.
Using proprietary modelling algorithms, SEM V is able to recreate the iconic instruments down to the component parts to create unrivalled realism and immersion. Unmatched in analog emulation, SEM V is powered by TAE and Phi technologies. TAE offers component-level modelling to accurately present the characteristics and behaviour of the instrument, whilst Phi's 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.
"Arturia has done it again! I am proud to be a part of the beta testing for the SEM V... the original SEM was one of my first and favourite synths. Arturia has nailed it... plus polyphony without the tuning nightmare. What more can you ask for?" - Steve Lindsey (Producer/Composer)
"An absolute classic that I am extremely glad has been virtualised and a true asset to anyone's sonic arsenal." - Roger Lyons (Producer/Composer - Alt J/Oscillator Hell)
"The SEM V has a simplicity and elegance that was a feature of many 70's synths. The 8-voice programmer module in particular is a joy to use especially in combination with the arpeggiator, delivering beautifully evolving sequences and pulsating arps." - Brendan Perry (Dead Can Dance)
