The Digital Dream Machine, Resynthesis Reborn.
What it is:
A revitalization of the landmark, top-tier Synclavier synth, with all the add-on features of the original.
How we use it:
Sculpt unabashed digital synthesis, then recreate your own synth sounds with resynthesis.
Why it's cool:
Through Synclavier V2, Arturia brings the magic, vibe, and privilege of playing one of these iconic synths to the masses. The Synclavier | Resynthesis Reborn
With the release of Synclavier V version 2.0, Arturia and Cameron Jones are proud to announce that Synclavier now includes sampling capabilities and an exciting resynthesis engine for musicians, producers, and sound designers to explore.
The Synclavier V2 faithfully recreates the elite digital synthesizer/workstation that started it all, powering some of the biggest hits and film soundtracks of the early ‘80s with its unique rich, edgy sounds.
1983 Resynthesis Was Born
The original Synclavier was New England Digital’s competitor in the fledgling digital instrument market. To go up against the revolutionary but primitive audio samplers of the time, Cameron Jones and his team developed a totally new audio technique to recreate sound. Rather than relying on samplers with low memory and lo-fi converters, the Synclavier could mathematically analyze audio and mimic it using “recreation synthesis”.
2018 Resynthesis Was Born Again
With version 2, Synclavier V2 has taken the next step in becoming the most authentic, powerful Synclavier emulation ever made. You are now free to use sample playback and resynthesis capabilities of Synclaiver V to their full creative extend, just as Cameron Jones envisaged, without worry about the limitations of hardware.
Powerful Features, Simple Workflow
The technology behind sampling and resynthesis was "out of this world" when the original instrument hit the market. Now, thanks to the power in your computer, you can resynthesize sounds with ease.
Import Your Own Samples
For our new sample playback and resynthesis engines, the first step is to import an audio sample. You can do this by navigating within the synth’s own browser, or by simply dragging and dropping from your OS or your DAW. Synclavier V also includes hundreds of samples for you to explore, including all of the original hardware’s sample library.
Perform With Vintage Sound
Your sample will play back with authentic grain, just like a vintage digital sampler. A simple but effective algorithm, the higher the pitch the faster the sample will play back, and the lowering the pitch will elongate the sound. Perfect for creating pads, percussion, hits, and weird effects.
Transform Samples To Synth Sounds
Engage the resynthesis engine with the touch of a button, and the characteristics of your sample will be analyzed and instantly transformed into a synth sound, ready for you to perform. Explore and reinvent your sound with ease!
Refine And Evolve Your Sound
Either let Synclavier V use its automatic detection to resynthesize your sample, or manually identify key points in the sound to focus on particular textures or articulations to create truly unique, personal synth sounds.
Once a sample is loaded, with the touch of a button Synclavier V can now analyze the spectral content of the sample and - using a mixture of wavetable and FM synthesis - mimic the sound using resynthesis. Key points in the sample can be identified and manipulated manually to refine the synth patch, and then every parameter can be controlled using Synclavier V’s hugely powerful synth engine. Create entire instruments from just one sample!
New Old Sounds
Synclavier V now includes classic sounds from the New England Digital sample libraries. Originally sold on 1GB 12” optical WORM drives for $15,000 each, their inclusion in Arturia’s recreation keeps the instrument true to its roots, giving a new generation of musicians the most authentic Synclavier experience ever.
There’s no hint of analog or samples here—this is the sound of unabashed digital synthesis in all its glory. While it can certainly create unique mellow tones, this vintage flagship is more known for its distinctive digital character ranging from edgy to eardrum-ripping brash to intergalactic. It’s especially ideal for extended pads and slow cinematic, ambient soundscapes. Plus, we’ve invested in significant updates that make the Synclavier V2 a thoroughly modern instrument with sounds that set it—and you—completely apart.
Hundreds of presets from the world’s top sound designers tame the unparalleled power of the Synclavier V2 and place it at all your fingertips for instant inspiration and easy customization.
A Programmer’s Dream
While you’ll get tons of love from Synclavier V2’s presets alone, there’s a universe of sonic adventures waiting just beneath the surface whenever you’re ready.
The unique sound of the Synclavier V2 comes from its blend of additive and FM synthesis, with control over 24 additive harmonics on both the carrier and modulation oscillators. Where the original instrument let you mix four uniquely programmed Partials Timbres in a Timbre preset, Arturia’s recreation has twelve, boosting your creative possibilities exponentially. The Time Slice engine allows complex evolutions of the sound over time—even several minutes if you want.
Programming the Synclavier V2 is a study in elegance. Three different interface views let you choose the depth of control that best suits your needs.
The Synclavier V2 lets you realize the dream of an entire stunning synth orchestra with just one plugin.
Welcome To An Exclusive Club
35 years ago, most musicians never had the chance to even touch, let alone use, the most coveted instrument of the day. Now with Synclavier V2, that’s history.
Now you can enjoy the same creative advantage as did Michael Jackson, Tangerine Dream, Sting, Frank Zappa, Pat Metheny, Chick Corea and other iconic acts. You’ll still have an exclusive instrument—you won’t find a recreation anywhere else, let alone one faithfully co-created and enhanced by the original programmer.
Round out your collection with this rare digital luxury instrument once only found in universities, laboratories and elite studios.
