Acid V

Una fábrica de bajos corrosivos

Acid V te ofrece el famosísimo sintetizador de bajo que hizo despegar a la música underground. Llena tus mezclas de ritmos de bajos reactivos y cambiantes, lanza secuencias mutantes con distorsión chispeante y experimenta con las funciones extra que aportan la energía de las raves.

Enter the
rave reactor

The abrasive, hypnotic sound that gets synapses firing and feet tapping unlike anything else. Give your bass the acidic treatment and set off a sonic chain reaction that’ll heat up your mix to lethal levels.

Little box, big bass

The magic silver box that defined acid, modeled down to component-level detail, capturing the pure sonic essence of a certified bass classic.

In constant motion

Acid V is all about movement; instantly spawn jagged polymetric sequences, hypnotic scale-based patterns, and endless sonic mutations.

Rave revitalized

The strobe-lit dance movements of the ‘80s, ‘90s, and early ‘00s share the same analog DNA; now it’s yours to manipulate, reinvent, and transform.

A mutated classic

Steer the 303 sound into experimental territory with upgraded features & effects delivering sounds far darker, deeper, and more impactful than the original.

Unleashing
sonic chemistry

Discover a raw, biting, in-your-face analog sound that never stops moving.

Fusing the 303 sound with a cocktail of creative and experimental features, Acid V is all about launching a sequence and tweaking, mutating, evolving. Spark note changes, drop in slides and accents, and - of course - making that abrasive resonant filter scream.

True Cell

A hard-hitting half-tempo track with a cyberpunk vibe, building to a trance-like four-to-the-floor drop.

Acid Circle

An evolving EDM / breakbeat track with multiple Acid V instances.

Ambient Acid

An ambient downtempo track using 6 Acid V instances for basses, acid lines, sequences, and leads.

Rolling Resonance

This punchy drum & bass track uses several presets from Acid Vs' factory bank.

Two Sides

A aggressive IDM track showing two sides Acid V: hyperactive basslines and dreamy leads. The kick was also made using Acid V.

Trance Lifter

A trance track featuring an uplifting supersaw sequence and a gnarly distorted acid lead.

The origins
of acid

Many of history’s most iconic and sought-after instruments were not necessarily popular at the time of their introduction; often intended for one thing but transformed by users into something else entirely, ushering entire movements into existence.

When the TB-303 Bass Line synthesizer was released in 1981, it was meant to be a substitute for bass guitars. Its sound was subsequently deemed unrealistic by users, and it was discontinued 3 years later - but when it found its way into the hands of electronic music producers in the late ‘80s, the 303 emerged as something entirely different.

What
we added

This is no ordinary 303 clone. Acid V has been deliberately mutated with fresh and experimental features designed with explosive sonic reactions in mind.

A bigger, better voice

Get deeper and more deranged bassline sounds with a 2-octave range sub oscillator and vibrato that goes from slow detune to audio rate.

Distortion

The 303 sound is so synonymous with distortion that you can’t have one without the other. We included 14 algorithms to satisfy every crunchy craving.

An evolved sequencer

Acid V features the fast, musical, advanced sequencer 303 fans have always wanted; you can even bounce its unique patterns to MIDI for use with clips and other instruments.

Scales & Transmutation

Alter your sequence’s DNA and create fresh patterns in one click with Transmutation, and lock into musical scales specially curated with modern styles in mind.

Under the hatch

Crack open Acid V’s virtual panel to uncover detailed analog fine-tuning, letting you emulate the specific pitchy, drifty, noisy quirks of genuine vintage units.

Modulation & effects

Create evolving movements & vivid sonic coloration without leaving Acid V’s interface; 3 modulators, 4 FX slots, and 17 FX algorithms for next-gen acid sound.

A closer
look

Zoom in on the quick-fire workflow of Acid V’s interface, from familiar voice controls to retrofitted modern features.

The advanced
panel

Go from hands-on bass box to acid sound design playground at the touch of a button. Acid V’s Advanced panel lets you dive deep into its sequencing, modulation, and effects for a whole new trip.

SEQUENCER & ARPEGGIATOR
MODULATORS
EFFECTS

Acid V is a sequencing & arpeggiation playground. This dedicated panel blows open every individual element of its powerful sequencing, from scale-based pattern generation to polymetric controls. Whatever your style, quickly build thumping bass sequences, wild mechanical rhythms, and unpredictable patterns that refuse to repeat. It even features over 350 sequence presets to get your grooves off the ground.

3 customizable function generators give you hands-free movement sound design flexibility that far exceeds the capabilities of classic hardware. Choose from familiar LFO-like configurations, or go full custom by drawing your own modulation shapes, and quickly assign them to dozens of parameters across Acid V’s interface.

Transform Acid V’s sound far beyond the sum of its components with 4 FX slots and 17 total FX to choose from, including Pitch-Shift Delay, Super Unison, Multiband Compressor, and more. Turn basslines into swirling stereo soundscapes, resonant rave melodies into crushed industrial textures…

Preset
library

Enjoy an expertly-crafted selection of 150+ presets, from classic bass synth lines to experimental modulated tones for modern production - instantly-gratifying results in a few clicks.

Bass Line

Future Sports

A big beat / breakbeat-style sequence with screaming filter resonance and a heavily-distorted engine.

Three Step

A sequence of just 3 steps is all you need to kickstart Acid V; tweak the controls and enjoy the hypnotic repetition.

Hard Bass

Overexposed

Hard bass sequence with funky modulations and big distortion, great for techno and hard techno. Brightness opens cutoff.

Trance's Waves

Aggressive synthetic bass line, that goes well with your Hard Trance productions. Use Brightness to open the filter. For a perfect result, a BPM of 150 is recommended.

Arpeggio

Clean Arp

A classic EDM arp, with subtle injections of glide and vibrato, primed for all kinds of electronic music.

Chopper

Simple acid arpeggiator. You can try generating accent and slide sequences while tweaking the knobs. Time Macro adds flanger effect.

Melodic Sequence

Three Oh What

Coaxing a huge trance sound out of Acid V with a long reverberated sequence that gradually builds to a euphoric climax.

Smooth Ride

A classic hardline acid sequence showcasing Acid V's gritty, abrasive sound, expanded with a touch of stereo delay.

Rhythmic Sequence

Overtones

Heavy overtones from distortion. Sounds like oscillator sync. Try saw wave for a different set of overtones. Brightness controls the filter frequency.

Earth

Dark atmospheric hard acid riff with pitch delay. Use Brightness to change cutoff.

Drums

Uptempo Killer

Uptempo kick. Best in C1 range, 180 to 220 BPM. Time macro controls the impact's pitch modulation made by modulation 3. Brightness macro controls the tone. Movement controls the tone as well, but in a harder way, by moving multifilter's cutoff.

Acid Kick

Techno kick preset. You can change the pitch attack with Time Macro. Brightness and Timbre Macros will give you a more aggressive sound. Movement Macro acts like a filter.
