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.
Ultimate Flexibility
Modular V’s huge selection of modules leaves it entirely up to you what happens to the sound - connect the dots and explore a true synthesis blank canvas.
Start With Presets
New to modular? Daunted by Modular V’s myriad of connections and controls? Take a shortcut to gigantic sound with its built-in library of expertly-designed presets.
It Sounds Real Because It Is
You don’t have to choose between the sound of hardware and the convenience of software. Modular V captures everything that made the original so satisfying to work with.
Go Offroad
Enjoy every unexpected result and get inspired with every tweak - Modular V is designed to encourage experimentation and total creative freedom.
Rhymes
with vogue
Electronic music synthesis captivated Wendy Carlos, Keith Emerson, Tangerine Dream, and even The Beatles. Early Modular systems from a beloved inventor are why.
Dr. Bob Moog is virtually synonymous with synthesizers. It was his modular designs — and a little help from his friends — that took synthesis out of the realm of esoterica and made it a popular tool for composers and performers across all musical styles.
A New Yorker born in 1934 with a background in piano, he produced Theremins in the 1950s after being impressed with Leon Theremin’s touchless instrument. Upon meeting composer Herb Deutsch, the two immediately hit it off and their collaboration produced the first voltage-controlled oscillator. Their first modular synth followed in 1964 and was the talk of the Audio Engineering Society convention. The influx of orders led to new modular systems, culminating in the I, II, and III in 1967.

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.
Modular
Gone Modern
Go everywhere a hardware modular can – and a few places it can’t.
Needless to say, we’d be crazy not to take advantage of all the things it’s easier to do in software. We pumped up Modular V with features that fit it right into computer-based music workflows, while preserving all the best aspects of the modular experience.

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.
Écoutez-le
en situation
Like we said, modular synthesis can take you anywhere and Modular V can do it quickly. Here are just some of the places our artists and sound designers have gone. Where will you go?

Dale's Demo
A short demo sent by Dale Ong, from the USA, who worked for Bob Moog in the 80's. It was recorded (rendered in Sonar actually) using just 6 tracks, all Modular V with no external processing.
Me and Mgy V2
Prats aka Patrick Wiklacz, krautrock and psychedelic style.
Demo Song by Mitsuru Sakau
A Modular V demo song inspired by Isao Tomita, Claus Shulze, and Keith Emerson who is Mitsuru's idol. Many thanks to Mitsuru Sakaue
Jerusalem
Inspired from the choral piece of Chariots of Fire (Vangelis).
Modular Funk
A piece of funk music.
Fabrice Gabriel's Dreams
This song was made with several instances of the Modular V, drums and a shaker. The only added effect is compression to limit extra dynamics, and sometimes eqs in the high frequencies to add some air to the sound.
Brandenburg Concerto
A fragment of Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, 1st movement. Only one instance of Modular V was used, rendering track by track of a total of 22 audio tracks. No external EQ, compression or FX were used the sound is right as it comes from the Modular V
Travesia Sagrada 01
Song made with Modular V and samples of sounds of the nature park in HONDURAS.

On Modular V
“This is truly a no-compromise, no ifs, ands or buts. It's also an absolutely rock solid application. All of our little complaints aside, the boys at Arturia have achieved a milestone here. This simply doesn't sound like software!”
Mac Addict
On Modular V
“One of the most daunting monsters of analog synthesizers, the venerable Mg Modular, has been brought to glorious life in Arturia Software's stunning Modular V. This one of the best-sounding software emulations of a piece of hardware.”
Mac Format
On Modular V
“The Arturia Modular V is the most authentic analog synth emulation we have ever heard. It looks and sounds just like the real thing. [Editor's Choice]”
Remix
On Modular V
“The Modular V is a powerhouse that models the old hardware to a tee, producing rich and beautiful tones that compare favorably to a real Mg system. If you're looking for a top-quality software synth that really does sound like the analog hardware it claims to emulate, look no further than Arturia's Modular V. This powerful tool is good enough for Bob Moog, and I'll wager it's good enough for you, too.”

Electronic Musician
On Modular V
“Endorsed by Bob Moog himself, Modular V probably comes as close as any software to re-creating complex analog synthesizer hardware, and it does it on a large scale. It runs standalone or as a plug-in for a variety of formats.”
Sound On Sound
On Modular V
“With the audio quality from soft synths such as Arturia's Modular V being so good, is there any longer a need to worry about replacing hardware with software?”
