Arturia Acid V TB-303 Plugin
Acid V Corrosive bassline machine Acid V channels the cult-classic bass synth that pushed the underground into overdrive. Pump your mixes full of reactive ever-evolving bass groove s, unleash mutated sequences fizzing with distortion, and experiment with extra features for revitalized rave energy. 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. 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. 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 Roland released the TB-303 Bass Line synthesizer 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. A closer look Zoom in on the quick-fire workflow of Acid V’s interface, from familiar voice controls to retrofitted modern features. Overview Acid V 1 Waveform selector The classic sawtooth and square waveforms, perfectly modeled, offering totally distinct harmonic characteristics for your basslines. 2 Voice & filter controls A row of controls for adjusting Acid V’s voice, primarily controlling its signature shrieking filter; riding the cutoff, pushing resonance to the limit, and finding punchy sweet spots with envelope controls. 3 Sub Osc Add more depth and contrasting texture to Acid V’s sound with 2 octaves of sub oscillator, plus 3 waveforms to choose from. 4 Vibrato Dial in subtle pitchy movements, go full FM with cranked rates, or anything in between with Acid V’s additional vibrato control. 5 Distortion Choose from 14 algorithms, analog or digital, and customize your drive & dry/wet blend. 6 Sequencer & performance controls Reflecting the controls on its hardware predecessor, Acid V’s main sequencer panel lets you quickly adjust sequencing, arpeggiation, note input, and more - ideal for interacting with your patterns in real-time. 7 Hidden fine-tuning This button unveils Acid V’s hidden panel for subtle analog customizations. 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. 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. Artists corner Hardfloor Producer “Good sounding and an easy to use sequencer with a very inspiring pattern creating function. Also the distortion module is very versatile. The additional features like the Sub Osc and Vibrato are usable but if you just need a pure 303 - you feeling home and here you´re right.” Paul Hartnoll Orbital “It sounds great. The way the sequencer triggers is brilliant, makes you use the old sound in a new way. The effects and distortion are really great too, they have a proper meaty wholesome sound to them. Very good!” Martyn Bootyspoon Producer “I'll finally be able to be as Digitally Nasty as I'd love to be for those gritty 303 lines.” Abdul Raeva Producer “I can't think of any other plugin that's stretched the acid spectrum so much! It's a really good sounding tool, the amount of editing options are insane. Sub osc section is just amazing and makes the acid sound big and fat. Shuffling through the preset sounds is super intuitive and helpful in finding new inspiration too.” De Grandi Producer “I would've thought that pretty much every angle had been covered regarding acid in the last 40 years but Acid V manages to take it even one step further. What personally stands out is the sequencer (especially the polymetric mode) and the different types of distortion” Absolute DJ / Producer “Immediate fan of the ACID V, really enjoying the ease of setting constantly evolving parameters, it makes for a far more interesting and live feel.” PressClippings MusicTech On Acid V “All in all, a total winner and another triumph for Arturia.” The features you need In-App Tutorials ASC DAW ready Preset browser Resizable GUI Perfect integration TAE® Powered The exclusive analog modeling technology that makes our emulations indistinguishable from the originals.
