It captures the deep, warm tones and character of the original hardware while offering an enhanced interface that respects its vintage roots. You can explore the iconic digitally controlled oscillators and dynamic filters with newfound precision, allowing for authentic recreation or fresh sound design in a modern setting.
SYNTHX V’s dual-layer architecture, Multi-Arp feature, and versatile oscillators make it ideal for creating rich, layered compositions.

Customisable keyboard controls—like velocity sensitivity, aftertouch, and MPE support—allow you to add nuanced expression to each performance, tailoring the instrument to your personal playing style. Easily map keyboard responses to different parameters for a truly expressive experience, whether you're playing live or crafting detailed studio tracks.
SYNTHX V offers powerful modulation tools that allow you to shape your sounds with precision. The drag-and-drop system makes it simple to assign modulators like LFOs, envelopes, or step sequencers to any parameter, adding depth and movement to your patches. The updated Multi-Arp function lets you layer up to four independent arpeggiations, ideal for building intricate rhythmic sequences and lush, evolving patterns. With a 4-slot effects rack and a selection of 17 effects, including reverb, delay, distortion, and more, you can shape your sounds to fit any mood or atmosphere, from vintage warmth to cutting-edge experimental tones.
Explore a collection of 240 presets that span a wide range of sounds, from classic analog textures inspired by the original Synthex to forward-thinking modern patches. This library is designed to provide quick access to a variety of tones, helping you get started with iconic synth sounds right out of the box or dive into more complex, expressive patches that showcase the SYNTHX V's advanced features. Whether you're looking to recreate retro vibes or develop new sonic landscapes, these presets provide a solid foundation for any musical project.
SYNTHX V lets you explore the full spectrum of sonic possibilities, from the classic 80s synth tones that defined artists like Jean-Michel Jarre and Duran Duran to more contemporary, experimental soundscapes. It authentically replicates the bright, clean DCO tones of the original Elka Synthex, making it easy to capture the signature sounds that powered early synthpop and electronic music. Whether you’re looking to recreate vintage tracks or evoke the spirit of a musical era, SYNTHX V offers the tools to get there.
But the versatility of SYNTHX V doesn’t stop at nostalgia. It also opens up new creative pathways for today’s electronic producers and sound designers, offering advanced modulation, expressive keyboard control, and intricate arpeggiation options. From lush, evolving pads to rhythmic, fractal patterns, SYNTHX V’s modern features enable you to create immersive, detailed textures that suit everything from ambient soundscapes to cutting-edge dance tracks.
SYNTHX V builds on the user-friendly design of its hardware inspiration, making it accessible for both beginners and seasoned synth enthusiasts. It retains the straightforward layout that made the original a favourite, while adding enhancements that keep up with today’s creative demands. The interface is designed to keep everything at your fingertips, from basic adjustments to in-depth sound shaping, so you can focus more on creating and less on navigating menus.
New features give you even more flexibility without overwhelming complexity. Two digitally controlled oscillators deliver the rich and precise sound that makes SYNTHX V stand out, while its dual-layer architecture expands your sound design potential with multitimbral capabilities. With options like independent voice panning, stereo spread, and dual analog chorus, you can craft broad, immersive soundscapes. The updated multimode filter also includes a new low-pass mode, offering refined control over your sound’s tonal character, making it easier than ever to create lush, dynamic textures.
SYNTHX V’s advanced panel gives you the tools to push its rich analog sound into uncharted territories. Here, you can unlock intricate modulations, explore dynamic sound design, and stack effects with ease. The panel provides direct access to customisable controls, making it simple to map parameters like aftertouch or modwheel for a highly expressive performance. With the flexibility to control how each note responds, you can bring your musical ideas to life in nuanced, detailed ways.
"The SynthX is an amazing emulator for a monumental synth. It's got a variety of different features that give the sound an edge and it;s the only synth I've ever seen that portamento's single oscillators so nicely!" - Purps - Producer
"I have been tinkering with SynthX V and it really is excellent, like a step back in time. Just the look of the layout! It was my main "workhorse" when I was with Gary Moore, so it was a case of a walk down memory lane." - Neil Carter - Instrumentalist (UFO, Gary Moore)
"Its multimode filter is top-notch and its chorus is magnificent! The pads are brilliant nad powerful. Adding chorus to the bass soundsl ike a 90's techno rave - I love it! The multi-arp is unique and easy to program. A great synth, bravo Arturia." - Kiko - Producer
