Arturia, in partnership with Dr. Bob Moog, has brought you the synth that started it all. From Wendy Carlos's famous 'Switched on Bach' to Keith Emerson's live use, this huge modular showed that electronics could be musical thus being the catalyst for every synthesizer we see today. The towering modular synthesizer that has dominated the world of music since the 1960s has been revived!

Modular synthesis at its best
“Probably the number one system” (Peter Forrest, The A-Z of Analog Synthesizers)
Originally sold as custom units to artists such as Tomita, Klaus Schultz, the Beatle's, Tangerine Dream and many others, we have recreated a giant collection of the best modules for you here. With up to 9 oscillators, 3 filter slots, 2 LFOs, 6 envelopes, VCAs, mixers, a sequencer and more, this classic synth offers you no limitations for your creative endeavors.

Modular Madness
If simple sounds are needed, no need to look here.
The Modular V is all about the complexities and nuances that only a modular patch can deliver. With more tone generation and modulation capabilties than any other synth this is the reference standard for intricate sound design.
Press Clipping

Much more than a Modular
Modular V includes some very rare module replicas like the Bode frequency shifter and the 928 sample and hold modules, as well as a few innovative effects developed by Arturia’s team like the formant filter and ring modulator. Modular V will give you a lifetime of sound design possibilities.

"There’s something about it which gives that authentic tone but with the nine oscillators you can really go to town with experimenting and making quirky new sounds, so don’t be afraid to mess about. If you think it looks complicated you’re right, but with some time put into it you’ll discover a lot and with more than the 400 presets made by professionals; you should have some fun! There’s nothing really I would change about it apart from having the real thing in the studio!"Weiss

My clients cannot believe their ears when I tell them that the kick-ass synth bass they are hearing is coming from a software. Great job!! Great instrument.Ted Perlman

I've been using Mg synthesizers for over 20 years in the studio and for the first time, I've actually heard a software synthesizer that sounds like one!Randy Cantor

The sounds are truly fat and unique, it gives me a sound I can't get anywhere else. Some virtual synths are thin, this one rocks!Mike McKnight

Arturia's Modular V is, for all practical purposes, like having your own big legendary modular synthesizer in your studio. It's my first 'go to' synthesizer.Kerry Livgren

The Modular V is a great system. Computers and softwares have come a long way that you can now actually play the fat Mg sound in a software synth.Jordan Rudess

I love the way it sounds. It has a definite analog quality. And it's capable of more complexity than most analog real synths.Jamie Muhoberac

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.

A Modular V demo song inspired by Isao Tomita, Claus Shulze, and Keith Emerson who is Mitsuru's idol. Many thanks to Mitsuru Sakaue
Inspired from the choral piece of Chariots of Fire (Vangelis).
A piece of funk music.
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.
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
Song made with Modular V and samples of sounds of the nature park in HONDURAS.
