Synthx V is a masterfully designed software synthesizer that revives the iconic ELKA SYNTHEX for today’s musicians. It features the same dual architecture, versatile DCOs with Ring Mod and Pulse Width Cross-Modulation, the renowned CEM 3320 Multimode filter, and the cherished chorus effect. Synthx V builds upon the original with advanced enhancements, offering limitless creativity.
The Synthex is widely regarded as one of the finest polysynths, known for its clear, powerful sound and wide panoramic imaging. It has been used by legendary artists like Jean-Michel Jarre, Stevie Wonder, and Depeche Mode. Synthx V faithfully recreates its bi-timbral architecture, delivering the same clean, powerful DCOs and multimode filter.
Originally conceived in the 80s by Italian engineer Mario Maggi, the Synthex took 12 years to perfect, combining boutique components and innovative design. Its bi-timbral capabilities allow for intricate soundscapes, while two digitally-controlled oscillators ensure stability, precision, and warm analog character.
Synthx V adds new features like a geometric Multi-Arp, a 4-track sequencer, customizable FX racks, and a drag-and-drop modulation system. With expressive controls like MPE and Polyphonic Aftertouch, it offers enhanced sound-shaping capabilities. Users can explore deep modulation options, assignable macros, stereo layers, and powerful effects, providing a comprehensive platform for modern sound design.
