The front panel of the SEM always had a beautiful simplicity to it that made creating your own sounds a breeze and the subtle additions that Arturia have made to this are well thought out and in keeping with the sound of this timeless classic synth. The unique filter that allowed continuously variable operation from low pass to high pass gave it a sound that no other had. Included in V Collection. On sale for five years from , its popularity remains so high that its septuagenarian designer re-established production just over a year ago.

The 8 Voice programmer module in particular is a joy to use especially in combination with the arpeggiator, delivering beautifully evolving sequences and pulsating arps. Ian Boddy Producer - Composer. This rich pad mixes a sawtooth with pitch modulation and pulse wave with pulse width modulation.
Whether you use it as DAW plugins in the studio or standalone at gigs, V Collection puts the greatest keys of all time at your fingertips for instant inspiration.
Soft clipping adds even more punch and presence. Steve Lindsey Producer - Composer.
Tune the VCOs, apply some envelope modulation to oberheeim filter and you're immediately in classic SEM territory, wallowing in fat basses and warm, funky leads. Their new Analog Laboratory is a very effective unit especially in combination with the original soft synths. Erik Norlander Producer - Composer. Artists Corner The return of the unknown classic!
All the original parameters of the Oberheim SEM: No more metal shop visits oberhemi electrical engineer wrangling required! The output is processed through the on-board overdrive and analog delay units to generate the typical dirtines.
Arturia - Overview
We added new innovations like the sub-oscillator for deep basses. Where were you guys 15 years ago?
With the sonic basics pberheim place, the level of detail in the SEM V's design helps to maximise flexibility and versatility. All sounds from this cinematic track come from the factory presets by Kevin Lamb. You can hear the characteristic SEM filter sweep through band-pass, low pass, notch and hi-pass modes. Included in V Collection.
Arturia Oberheim SEM V review
Oh yes, and then there's that sound! Ssm knob-for-knob recreation of the SEM would have been enough to please plenty of Oberheim fans, but Arturia has taken the concept to another level with the SEM V, adding numerous features in order to bring the basic design into line with modern expectations.
No external FX or channel EQ were used. In some cases - most notably Minimoog emulations - we're not entirely convinced by the effectiveness of turning ballsy monophonic synths into overpowering polyphonic monsters, but it makes perfect sfm with the SEM, because the original module formed the basis of Oberheim's two-voice, four-voice and eight-voice polysynths.
Arturia - Oberheim SEM V
In conjunction with the mod matrix, it facilitates some seriously creative setups. The intuitive graphical interface allows complex keyboard follow curves to be created for parameters such as VCF cutoff and resonance, oscillator tuning and LFO rate. The SEM module was originally made to compliment other synthesizers but later came into its own as a great sounding synth.
The tweaks don't make the basic emulation any less authentic - you can ignore them if you want the original experience - but they certainly expand on the sonic range of the SEM while retaining its distinctive character.
One of the main quirks of the four- and eight-voice synths was that their modular design - each synth was constructed from multiple SEMs - could lead to slight differences between the timbres of each voice.
Image 3 of 3 Arturia's awesome preset collection offers a good route in to the SEM V's more advanced options.
The SEM is legendary precisely because it does things differently to most other synths. The continuous shift from one voice to another, through different settings of filter, tune, pan and volume generates a beautiful. The Arpeggiator is used in combination with the 8-Voice Programmer module in order to create this lively and organic arpeggio. As a straight emulation of the classic SEM sound, the SEM V ticks all the boxes, but the software has so much more to offer when you explore it in greater depth: Some of the software's editing features - notably the eight-voice programmer - might have even the most experienced SEM synthesist scratching their head, but a quick tour of the presets reveals how everything works and ably demonstrates the huge range of fantastic sounds which can be produced.
When multiple SEM's were connected into a 4 or 8 voice polyphonic system, it became a thing of beauty.
