Synth Anthology 5 the largest and most feature-packed edition of UVI’s hardware synth emulation bundle, bringing together an impressive 300 instruments from just about every era, manufacturer and method of synthesis. From the pioneering polysynths of the 1970s to the flagship and boutique hardware of today, Synth Anthology 5 promises to provide users with “an entire history of electronic sound” at their fingertips.
Every sound in Synth Anthology 5 has been created using the original hardware. UVI say that each of the machines included were sourced and serviced before being captured through an array of high-end signal chains and handed over to their in-house sound-design team. The extensive list of included instruments covers everything from vintage Moogs, Sequentials, Oberheims and Yamahas to praised modern designs from the likes of Arturia, Novation, Teenage Engineering and many more.
The core sounds are all hosted by a dual-layer engine that allows users to combine any two synths — each layer is fully editable, and comes equipped with its own set of sound-design tools. The instrument also boasts a flexible modulation system that features a pair of LFOs and two multi-step modulators.
