SEM V is Arturia's recreation of the Oberheim SEM, the compact Synthesizer Expander Module loved for its smooth state-variable filter and raw analogue voice. Version 3 rebuilds the instrument with updated modelling and expands it well beyond the original module, adding polyphony, unison and a modern modulation and effects section.

Key Features

• Two oscillators with mixable variable waveforms, plus a sub-oscillator
• The legendary 12 dB/octave state-variable filter with low-pass, notch, high-pass and band-pass modes
• Up to 8 voices, with per-voice drive, pan and level
• Advanced panel with a deep modulation engine and flexible effects rack
• Multi-arpeggiator with up to four independent layers

FAQs

What made the SEM special?

Its filter. Unlike the ladder filters in most rival synths, the SEM's state-variable design sweeps smoothly between filter types, giving it a singing, vocal quality that still stands out.

Is SEM V3 free?

No. It is paid software, also included in V Collection 11. You can try the demo through Arturia Software Center.
