Whether you were born with an oscillator control knob in your fingers or you're new to the tone-tweaking world of synthesis, Arturia's Oberheim SEM V is sure to provide you with countless hours of pure synth-inspired bliss. The range of synthesizer tones Oberheim SEM V adds to your virtual instrument rig is amazing. SImple, hands-on, analog-style controls let you tweak a full complement of parameters including oscillators, envelopes, and LFOs - all with truly satisfying results. Once you start tweaking knobs, there's no telling what fun and exciting sounds you'll discover.

The central section of the Oberheim SEM V virtual instrument is a dead-to-rights model of Tom Oberheim's classic SEM. The re-creation goes far deeper than just the graphics - we're talking about the very interaction between each component of the SEM analog synthesis architecture. Side-by-side, even a synth guru with decades of experience would have a hard time telling the sound of an original SEM and Arturia's Oberheim SEM V soft synth apart.. that is until you get to the incredible extras Arturia added to their version of the SEM.

Arturia's Oberheim SEM V comes loaded with amazing bonus components never found on a classic Oberheim SEM. A second LFO, a sub-octave generator, and a white noise generator expand the SEM's core synthesis base, whereas built-in overdrive, chorus, and delay effects let you add unprecedented depth and dimension to your sound. Arturia also gave the Oberheim SEM V portamento control and a built-in arpeggiator so you can dial in anything from gliding leads to percussive patterns. And then there are the three exclusive modules, including Keyboard Follow, Voice Programmer, and Modulation Matrix, each of which let you take hold of advanced performance controls. It's like having a whole rack full of SEMs, plus a room full of CV-manipulation gear. Prepare to totally geek out on this awesome virtual synth!

Synth by Arturia

More than a Resemblance

A giant has come back to life. Oberheim's legendary SEM - Synthesizer Expander Module - is back for the first time as a high-end software emulation powered by Arturia's exclusive TAE® technology.

The SEM module was originally made to compliment other synthesizers but later came into its own as a great sounding synth. The unique filter that allowed continuously variable operation from low pass to high pass gave it a sound that no other had. When multiple SEM's were connected into a 4 or 8 voice polyphonic system, it became a thing of beauty.

Analog Masterpiece Revisited

Accurately recreating the tone, waveshapes, multimode 12dB/octave filter and other detailed characteristics, SEM V delivers all the deep analog sounds that made its grand ancestor so unique and praised. Our voice programmer mode allows you to recreate the sound of the huge and rare 8 Voice.

Uber Mine of Sound

The SEM is known as a bass and lead machine but our recreation extends it well beyond the original. it's sound pallet extends to moving 8 voice pads , acid arpeggios and even electronic percussion.

Expanded Creativity

While the SEM was a great synth, we wanted to make it even better.

We added new innovations like the sub-oscillator for deep basses. A second LFO with more waveforms, and the modulation matrix greatly expands the sonic capabilities of the SEM. Add to this the arpeggiator and Key Follow modulator and you get one super powered synth.

Main Features

• All the original parameters of the Oberheim SEM : two oscillators, each offering sawtooth wave and variable-width pulse wave with PWM, sine wave LFO, 12dB/oct multi-mode Filter with low-pass, high-pass, band-pass and notch, two ADS envelope generators.
• Added functionalities : New LFO, Noise, Sub oscillator, on board effects (overdrive, chorus and delay), Arpeggiator, Portamento.
• Polyphony up to 32 and 8 Voice Multitimbrality
• New 8 Voice Programmer module
• Advanced Keyboard Follow module
• Modulation Matrix module
• Works in Standalone
• Now compatible with iSEM Preset export/import
• Polyphony parameter to limit the polyphony of the plugin
• 20 new factory presets from Ian Boddy
• 21 new factory presets from Erik Norlander

• 11 new factory presets from Kevin Lamb
• 14 new factory presets from Drew Newmann
• 'Forward Retrigg' mode for the 8-Voice Programmer (for easy use of sequences using the Arpeggiator)
• 'Reassign' mode for the 8-Voice Programmer (like in the original one, the SEM V will first use the boards that are not gated in its voice assignment)
• Sustain pedal is now active on all systems
