Key Features
- Authentic Acid Sound:
Experience component-accurate emulation of the TB-303 with resonant filters, sub oscillator, and analogue quirks for genuine acid basslines. - Advanced Sequencer and Arpeggiator:
Create polymetric, scale-based patterns with up to 64 steps, slide, accents, and the ability to drag sequences to MIDI. - Modulation and Effects:
Three multi-mode function generators and four FX slots with 17 algorithms allow evolving movements and complex sonic textures.
Rave-Ready Basslines:
Acid V brings the signature acidic bass into contemporary production, offering dynamic, ever-changing sequences that inject energy into any track. Its slide, accent, and octave-shifting features let you sculpt intricate basslines, while Transmutation enables instant pattern variation. With built-in scales and scale locking, even complex sequences remain harmonically consistent, giving producers the freedom to experiment without losing musicality. The combination of aggressive distortion algorithms, sub oscillator range, and vibrato allows for sounds that are both gritty and deep, perfect for trance, breakbeat, and techno. Acid V transforms your studio into a playground for evolving electronic music, keeping your basslines fresh, unpredictable, and full of character.
Deep Sound Design:
Acid V’s Advanced panel opens up detailed sound design possibilities, allowing users to fine-tune every aspect of the instrument. Modulation sources, FX routing, and analogue emulation controls provide endless sonic flexibility. The instrument’s hidden hatch reveals component-level adjustments for pitch drift, filter behaviour, and oscillator nuances, enabling precise replication of vintage hardware or entirely new experimental tones. Built-in tutorials guide producers through complex parameter settings, ensuring both beginners and professionals can achieve desired results quickly. Whether designing aggressive leads, atmospheric sequences, or intricate basslines, Acid V offers tools to push creative boundaries while retaining the character of a classic acid synthesiser.
Flexible Integration:
Acid V functions seamlessly as a standalone instrument or within major DAWs, including Live, FL Studio, and Logic Pro. Drag-and-drop MIDI patterns, microtuning compatibility, and extensive preset libraries make it easy to incorporate Acid V into existing projects. Over 150 ready-to-use presets and 350 sequence patterns provide instant inspiration, while the intuitive interface allows rapid adjustment of filters, modulators, and effects. Whether performing live or composing in the studio, Acid V delivers a workflow that is both creative and efficient, offering the power of a vintage synthesiser with modern convenience and flexibility for any electronic music style.
