The synth wizard
in you
Famous for Pink Floyd’s “On the Run,” the EMS Synthi and its forerunner the VCS3 are the synths you don’t realize you’ve heard everywhere.
Roxy Music, LCD Soundsystem, The Who, Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk, King Crimson, and Brian Eno, were just a few of the artists who took it on sonic journeys. Where will Synthi V take you?
A Singular Sound
Neither quite like a Mini nor quite like an ARP, the Synthi has a raw, aggressive quality that jumps out of the speakers. So will your music.
Bigger on the Inside
Like a certain blue telephone box, Synthi V packs incredible technology into a deceptively small package and will transport you through time and space.
Modeled to the Last Transistor
Our renowned True Analog Emulation® modeling doesn’t merely mimic the sound. It reproduces exactly how and why the original’s components made that sound.
Jack of All Trades
Though the Synthi is known for special FX, Synthi V will add take-no-prisoners leads, basses, and atmospheres to any style of music you throw it at.
Every Band
Needed a Synthi
Electronic Music Studios’ VCS3 and Synxthi won the hearts and blew the minds of British musicians throughout the 1970s. Its inventors were beyond revolutionary.

for the Heart of the Sound
Synthi V’s main interface captures all the charm of the original, with a handful of small tweaks that add up to a big difference.
If you’ve ever used a hardware EMS synth, you’ll feel right at home. If you’ve ever thought, “I wish my Synthi would do that,” ours does. If you’re new to the Synthi universe, you’ll forget you’re playing a virtual instrument.

01. Enhanced VCOs
Synthi V’s oscillators can quantize pitch to semitones and hard-sync VCO2 to VCO1. Or, control-drag on the knobs to make fine adjustments.
02. Put a Pin In It
Patch audio and control signals to destinations by clicking on the virtual pinboard. Sources and destinations are highlighted as you go.
03. Pintastic
Use a special group pin to route several signals to several places at once in the Advanced Panel.
04. Sample and Hold
We’ve added a sample-and-hold generator with its own row in the pin matrix, for cool non-linear modulation effects..
05. Synced On the Run
We’ve preserved the legacy sequencer in all its glory, only now it optionally syncs to MIDI or your host DAW’s project tempo.
06. Ready Player One
Assign each axis of the joystick to any destination you choose.
07. Attenuator Pins
The hardware used special pins if you wanted less of an audio or control signal to go somewhere. Click-hold on a pin to choose one.
Synthi
and Synthier
Synthi V’s Advanced Panel lets you write the history of the future.
Since the Synthi’s designers were early computer geeks, we thought about what software-powered features they might have added if they’d had the chance. Then we did it.
Functions can behave like an LFO, a complex multi-segment envelope, or anything in between. Route up to five of them to any parameter in Synthi V.
Create automatic, tempo-syncable joystick moves (or trigger them manually) and assign even more joystick routings here. It gets crazy deep, crazy fast.
With modern control sources like velocity, aftertouch, and an extra LFO, the advanced modulation matrix picks up where the original left off.
Here is where you can assign modulation sources to figure into any group pins you have in play on the main panel.
Create sequences of up to 32 steps and assign them to pitch or any other parameter in Synthi V.
Route Synthi V’s final output through up to three effects at once, in series or parallel. Appropriate effects tempo-sync, including a stereo ping-pong delay.
