Description
The Matrix-12 V resurrects the legendary Oberheim synthesiser in a software form, delivering the original’s acclaimed analogue richness and modular flexibility with modern enhancements. Boasting 12 dual-oscillator voices, five envelopes, 27 modulation sources, and 47 destinations, it offers a sound design playground that blends the character of classic 1980s instruments with contemporary creative freedom. Its 15 filter modes, including multiple pass types, slopes, and phase-shifting options, allow tones that are impossible on other synths. True Analogue Emulation technology ensures every circuit interaction is faithfully modelled, capturing the distinctive warmth and depth of the original hardware. Whether crafting intricate evolving pads, sharp leads, or rhythmic textures, the Matrix-12 V balances studio precision with performance versatility. Integrated effects, a deep modulation matrix, and a clear interface provide instant access to every parameter, making complex sound design intuitive. Ideal for genres from electronica to R&B, hip-hop, and beyond, it offers the legendary Matrix-12 experience at a fraction of the cost, with the stability and convenience of a modern software instrument.
Key Features
- Authentic Oscillators:
Faithfully modelled triangle, saw and pulse waves with PWM, noise generation, FM, and hard sync for classic analogue tones. - Versatile Filter Options:
Fifteen filter modes, including low pass, high pass, band pass, notch, phase shift and combo modes for unparalleled tonal shaping. - Advanced Modulation:
Up to 27 sources and 47 destinations, including envelopes, LFOs, ramps and track generators, enabling dynamic and evolving sound design.
Extreme Patching Freedom:
Matrix-12 V recreates the modular flexibility of the original hardware, offering an intuitive interface that allows instant visualisation of modulation routing. You can work with up to six sources on a single parameter, making live tweaks or complex studio patches straightforward. Five assignable envelopes and five LFOs can be applied anywhere, while four ramp processors act as extra one-stage envelopes. The result is a synthesiser capable of highly dynamic, expressive, and evolving sounds, whether you’re performing live or designing intricate studio compositions. Every parameter is accessible in real time, ensuring creativity is never constrained by interface limitations.
True Analogue Emulation:
Using TAE technology, the Matrix-12 V models the behaviour of each oscillator, filter, and soft clipping component to deliver authentic analogue character. This component-accurate emulation captures the warmth, depth, and richness of the original Matrix-12, while providing modern stability and reliability. The software faithfully reproduces the interaction between circuits, ensuring each sound retains its organic, dynamic response. Whether recreating classic patches or exploring entirely new sonic territory, Matrix-12 V provides an analogue experience indistinguishable from the original, without the maintenance, cost, or scarcity associated with vintage hardware.
Integrated Effects and Performance Tools:
Matrix-12 V includes two insert effect slots with six studio-grade effects, allowing sound designers to sculpt their patches further. Its multitimbral engine, combined with a powerful Multi mode, makes layering sounds effortless. Digital control enhances the original instrument’s interface, providing three displays, easy navigation, and rapid access to complex parameters. Whether using standalone or as a VST, AU, or AAX plugin, the Matrix-12 V integrates seamlessly into modern production environments. Performance-oriented features, including tempo-syncable LFOs and modulation visualisation, make it a responsive instrument for both live use and studio experimentation.
