Synthx V

Synthx V represents the ultimate blend of analog elegance and modern innovation. With state-of-the-art circuit modeling, it captures the multi-timbral magnificence of the all-in-one 80’s classic, from the versatile digitally-controlled oscillators to the famed multimode filter. Going above and beyond the original design, we’ve added a deeply creative suite of advanced features including a Multi-Arp, FX rack, expressive keyboard controls and drag-and-drop modulation that put its sound design capabilities on par with the most powerful polysynths around today. 

Best-in-class recreation

Building on decades of DSP expertise and state-of-the-art emulation techniques, Synthx V captures the Elka Synthex in unprecedented detail, mirroring its beautifully rich and wide sound, faithfully recreating its design and augmenting its feature-set for limitless sound design possibilities. 

Perfect for wide multi-timbral sounds

With Synthx V’s dual-layer architecture and multi-arp, musicians can craft evolving, richly textured sounds with ease. Its simple yet powerful design unlocks new levels of creative freedom allowing you to traverse between utterly unmistakable and wondrously experimental sounds effortlessly.   

Elevated with advanced modulation & FX

Discover powerful drag & drop modulation, a comprehensive FX suite and expressive keyboard controls that takes the sound of the vintage Italian icon to completely new heights. Modulate any parameter with inventive non-linearity or stack up to 4 FX for endlessly creative composition textures.
