Arturia MOOG-MOD-V2

Ever dreamt of using one of the best synthesizers ever made? Ever dreamt of working with a modular system whose sound is part of musical legend?
Arturia, in partnership with Bob Moog, has made it possible with a faithful reproduction of one of the most famous series of synthesizers: Moog Modular.

Endless synthesis
Because it is modular, the Moog Modular V offers endless possibilities for synthesis. 9 oscillators, 3 filter slots, 2 LFOs, 6 envelopes, VCAs, mixers, triggers, a 3x8 step-sequencer, etc. With such an instrument, you can make all types of combinations and create sounds that were never heard before.

Pure analog
TAE®, standing for True Analog Emulation, is a new technology developed by Arturia, enabling the digital reproduction of analog circuits. The implementation of TAE in Moog Modular V results in:

• Aliasing-free oscillators, at no extra CPU cost.
• Better reproduction of analog oscillators: thecondensers' unload and the oscillators' instability are simulated, helping toreproduce a typical warm sound.
• Very accurate reproduction of the legendary Moog 24dB low-pass filter.
• Implementation of soft clipping, i.e. reproduction of the filters' currentlimiting function.

Benefit from the experience of the best sound designers
The Moog Modular V comes loaded with more than 400 presets made by a selection of the most talented sound designers.

What's new in Moog Modular V2 ?

New ergonomics:

• One unique scrollable view to overlook the entiresynth.
• Some of the modules are now interchangeable, allowing to configure - to acertain extent - the Modular the desired way.

New audio possibilities:

• Improvements on the oscillators (new free running),on the filters (better response to modulations), on the envelopes (faster andeven closer to true analogical behaviour).
• New Unison mode
• New Audio-In possibilities
• The Soft-clipping emulation is now done on each mixer and notsystematically on all of them, which saves on CPU load.

New modules

• 1630 Bode Frequency Shifter. Developed under the Mooglicense by Harold Bode in 1964, it is extremely rare (a dozen Worldwide).
• 928 Sample and hold is also very rare. Originallyassembled in a separate cabinet, it was adapted on the last modular series, inthe late 70's.
• 912 Envelope follower (or Schmit Trigger). One of themost popular modules on the Moog systems, it was often added to originalconfiguration to create complex modulation through the use of an outputsignal.
• 12 stage phaser. The Moog 12 Stage Phaser was verywell known, and originally conceived as an external rack to the Modularsystems.
• Formant Filter. A new module developed by Arturia,which did not exist on the original Moog systems. It allows the filtering ofsounds according to the formants a, e, i, o, u.
• Ring Modulator. Also a new module developed by Arturia, it creates verymetallic sounds.

New presets
200 new presets to provide optimal use of the new modules.
