“WEST COAST SOUND DESIGN PLAYGROUND
The Buchla Easel V is the first recreation of Don Buchla’s iconic instrument that helped define experimental West Coast modular synthesis in the early ‘70s. Our enhancements translate to vastly expanded possibilities for sound design and avant-garde music.
“THE FUNKIEST ELECTRIC KEYBOARD EVER
The Clavinet V faithfully models the electric keyboard that put the funk in many ‘70s hits. This vintage instrument’s unmistakable sound will help your music jump right out of the speakers. No keyboard collection is complete without it.
The “Clav” sound is so iconic that most keyboards have a patch that tries to emulate it. Why settle for an approximation?
From the first note you play on the Clavinet V, you know this is no sample or synth. You feel that organic grit that only comes from a physical instrument, reproduced in minute detail by our award-winning modeling technology. We recreated the iconic Clavinet D6—including lightning response, multiple pickups, EQ rockers and variable mute. You can even tech your own customizations to age your instrument to taste. Dial in the rest of that coveted vintage sound you’re looking for with the built-in virtual guitar amp and stompbox rig—or just hit the extensive preset library.
“Uniquely evocative… the kicker is the bank of ten harmonically pitched sine waves and their pan / level-modulating Uncertainty knob. Start mixing these in with the three main sounds and things get really weird – in a good way”
“Super-mellow analogue drum machine • Thick, warm sounds with individual kit piece control • Built-in syncable preset rhythms to take you back in time • Perfect for chillout, lounge, downtempo styles
“Crank is available as a special bundle with its sister instrument, Hurdy Gurdy. See our Hot Deals page to grab this offer.
Unique blend of characterful acoustic and analogue electronic waveforms • Constant erratic instability to add colour and organic warmth to the sound • Multi-Osc adds up to ten detunable oscillators!”
“She’s a replicant
CS-80 V is our modeled version of the legendary Yamaha™ CS-80, considered by many to be the ultimate polyphonic synthesizer of the late ‘70s.
Huge in size and price tag, the CS-80 was a flagship synthesizer of the 1970’s. It’s unique dual voice layout allowed for rich and full sounds that have not been matched to this day. It was popularized by artists such as Toto, Jean-Michel Jarre, Klaus Schulze, Stevie Wonder, Vangelis, Ultravox and Peter Gabriel, to name a few. Hit song after hit song has turned this synthesizer into a true legend.
More than three decades after its release, the time has come to rediscover a sound that has contributed extensively to the history of music.
“Dark Energy III is a monophonic stand-alone synthesizer with USB and Midi interface. It is the follower of the successful Dark Energy I and Dark Energy II. The sound generation and all modulation sources are 100% analog, only the USB/Midi interface contains digital components. Dark Energy III is built into a rugged black metal case with wooden side plates. High quality potentiometers with metal shafts are used and each potentiometer – except the filter mode control – is fixed to the case (no wobbly shafts and knobs). The distance between the controls is a bit wider compared to A-100 modules and knobs with vintage look are used.
“Dark Planet is loaded with hundreds of creepy sounds, shattering loops and eerie instruments, including leads, basses, drums and effects that will inspire and give you the shivers at the same time.
Dark Planet’s earth-shattering sounds are equally suitable for impactful cinematic scores, massive industrial tracks and spacious dark ambient productions.
“Triple Drift Clouds for constantly moving, shifting, drifting soundscapes • Massive modulation possibilities – including pitch, filter, amp, grain and stereo pan: this synth was built for stereo! • Core waveforms from classic machines, both analogue and digital, combined in drifting pairs to form sweeping clouds of sound • Glitch Control with finetuned parameters that home in on cool pad textures with one click • In-depth control set for hardened tweakers, or one-click patch creation for instant gratification!
“The legendary DX5 – bigger, better and smoother! • Twin-layer sounds specifically designed from the ground up to work perfectly together: Yamaha’s sound-design masterstroke, unavailable on the DX7 • Identical internal construction and patch architecture to the mighty DX1 – sounds the same, just lights and heats the room slightly less ? • Some of the warmest and most expressive Electric Piano patches out there”
“Massive Emulator II-derived sample-and-synthesis machine in the style of the Roland D50 • Emulator grit and heft; synthesiser scope and scale • X-Mod and comprehensive performance control allow for dynamic, expressive, shifting timbres • Graft sampled Attack waves to synthesised (or sampled!) Sustain waves for complex, rewarding patches… or use the Glitch control for instant new sounds • Over 90 factory patches included: 1.32Gb of authentic EII samples!
“Easily the most detailed and comprehensive electric grand piano instrument ever produced, EGP boasts 5 channels of audio including electric, L/R and M/S signals, 10 preparations, independent EQ, effects and dynamics for the electric and acoustic signals and over 100 professionally designed presets. An expressive and deeply customizable instrument, EGP gives you pristine imaging and a sonic range well beyond any electric piano you’ve tried before.”
“COMBO ORGAN COOLNESS
Farfisa V physically models the unique characteristics of the Farfisa combo organs that helped define the Top 40 sounds of the ‘60s—complete with enhancements that help you forge new sonic territory today.
Arturia’s innovative physical modeling faithfully recreates every nuance of the Farfisa Compact Deluxe and Duo combo organs found on numerous hits. Enhancements bring you a one-of-a-kind instrument combining the freedom of synthesizers with the unique tone of organs for unprecedented creative potential. An array of included effects pedals gives you all the tools to make the sound your own. Bell-bottoms optional.
