Arturia SEM V2 Synthesizer Plug-In

Arturia 1090-34 Overview

The Oberheim SEM V2 from Arturia is a faithful recreation of Oberheim's legendary SEM (Synthesizer Expander Module) that is coveted for its fatness and unique harmonic spectrum. Utilizing the company's TAE (True Analog Emulation) technology, all of the original features have been reproduced, while several additional features not found on the original have been added.

All the original parameters of the Oberheim SEM

Two oscillators, each offering a sawtooth wave and variable-width pulse wave with PWM, sine wave LFO, 12 dB/octave multimode low-, high-, band-pass, and notch filters, and two ADS envelope generators

Added functionalities include a new LFO, noise, sub oscillator, onboard effects (overdrive, chorus and delay), arpeggiator, and portamento

Polyphony up to 32 voices and 8 voice multitimbral

8-Voice Programmer module

Advanced Keyboard Follow module

Modulation Matrix module

Compatible with iSEM Preset export/import

Polyphony parameter to limit the polyphony of the plug-in

Forward Retrigg mode for the 8-Voice Programmer for easy use of sequences with the arpeggiator

Redesigned preset browser and resizable GUI
