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.

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.

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.

TAE® Powered

The exclusive analog modeling technology that makes our emulations indistinguishable from the originals.

By accurately mimicking the characteristics of analog oscillators, filters, and soft clipping, we can provide astonishing component-accurate detail and authentic analog charm in equal measure.
