Today, Arturia’s eight-voice, MIDI-controllable, multitimbral SEM V software solution brings many more truly 21st Century developments to the table - or even desktop (or laptop)! Additional ARPEGGIATOR, PORTAMENTO, SUB OSC, LFO 2, OVERDRIVE, CHORUS, and DELAY parameters, plus an in-depth Modulation Matrix module, all combine to considerably widen its sonic palette and appeal above and beyond merely mirroring the original Oberheim® SEM hardware.
Though these instruments were groundbreaking, polyphony was achieved with multiple SEMs so each voice/module had to be programmed independently, which was quite a daunting task - even by somewhat shaky Seventies standards!īut that was then, this is now. Created by legendary synth designer Tom Oberheim back in 1974, the dual-oscillator SEM was originally conceived as a way of beefing up weaker-sounding compatible analogue monosynths of the time before becoming a sought-after sound in its own right - so much so that its American creator came up with a series of successive SEM-based instruments, first pairing up two SEMs with a 37-note keyboard and a simple analogue sequencer to form the Two Voice, Oberheim®’s first compact, programmable, polyphonic synthesizer in 1975, followed by the larger Four Voice (featuring four SEMs) in 1976 and enormous Eight Voice (eight SEMs) in 1977. Using Arturia’s TAE® (True Analog Emulation) technology, SEM V faithfully reproduces the analogue warmth and ingenious interface of the classic Oberheim® Synthesizer Expander Module® (SEM) to which it owes its inspiration and name. These free updates bring performance, stability, and MIDI improvements to two of Arturia’s most popular Analog Classics, the SEM V and Wurlitzer-V, respectively released to critical acclaim in 20. GRENOBLE, FRANCE: music software and hardware company Arturia is proud to announce availability of SEM V 1.1.6 and Wurlitzer-V 1.0.5, the latest updates to its software recreations of the classic Oberheim® Synthesizer Expander Module® and Wurlitzer EP 200A electric piano…
