Product information

Acid V is a software instrument modeled on the cult-classic bass synth that defined the punchy, abrasive sound of acid and rave. Pump your mixes full of ever-evolving bass grooves and mutated sequences with an array of updated modern features, including an advanced sequencer, multi-mode distortion, quick-fire modulation, and much more.

The Sound That Defined Acid

A circuit-accurate remodeling of the iconic silver box that changed synth bass sound; raw, biting, punchy. You can even imitate the analog imperfections of vintage units with the hidden ‘hatch’.

A Bigger, Badder Voice

Acid V goes deeper and darker than the original with 2-octave sub oscillator, vibrato, and more, great for crafting massive EDM bass, screaming filtered textures, wild analog FM tones, and beyond.

Mutated Sequencing

Warp, transform, and evolve sequences creatively with a vastly expanded sequencer that never loses the 303 spirit. Generate patterns, mutate & randomize, and lock in with musical & modern scales.

Essential Distortion

Acid & distortion go hand-in-hand; Acid V delivers all flavors of crunch with 14 algorithms, from valve to bit-crush.

Advanced Panel

Go from hands-on bass box to acid sound design playground in one click; Acid V’s advanced panel lets you dive deep into its sequencing, modulation, and colorful effects.

Presets

Great for quick inspiration, Acid V comes with over 150 expertly-crafted presets, plus over 350 pre-programmed sequences.
