Synthi V brings you all the experimental excitement of EMS' legendary 3-oscillator analog synths-now infused with thoroughly modern enhancements. Venture beyond unusual lead and bass sounds to create soundscapes and sci-fi effects ranging from beautiful to bizarre and everything in between.

The British-born EMS family of synths-featuring the sonically identical Synthi AKS and VCS3-were among the first to distill modular synthesizer functionality into a more portable form. Where most competitive designs like the Minimoog sacrificed flexibility to size and simplicity, EMS retained a modular heart through the genius of one of the first matrix patchbays to grace a synth. That additional versatility led to more experimentation outside of melodic norms and into the more electronic realms of psychedelia and sci-fi effects. Cue Pink Floyd's "On the Run" from "The Dark Side of the Moon" LP.

Synthi V's comes with an extensive library of leads, basses, textures, sound effects and more. Yet, it's always easy to find the sound you're looking for because of our universal system of categories and tags. Of course, you can organize your own patches using that same elegant system.
