Arturia announces the Synclavier V 

Cool story! Great instrument! Thank you Arturia for bringing back such a legend!!

As a young musician in the hey day of the Synclavier I looked on in awe of that machine (and the Fairlight CMI), knowing that I'd most likely never get to play one, let alone own it. They were stupendously expensive but also extraordinarily powerful. I was a Zappa fan, so what he did with the machines blew me away. I'm actually really happy that this has come to market and has NED's involvement via Cameron Jones. It's not often that you have access to the original engineers to bring a system like this back to life. It sounds pretty fantastic too. I could actually spend $10-15k and get a refurbed 9600 system, but with the capabilities of DAW's these days there is probably no point. I'd still love to have one though and spend several months locked away in my home studio exploring it.

I am very happy about this announcement. I am also amused that the various participants in this project do not agree on whether it is a SIN-kluh-veer or a sin-CLAY-vee-yer.

Wow this thing is Out of this world!!!

Just purchased the V Collection 5 last night. Awesome stuff!

I can NOT believe you managed to score this emulation! I've been lusting after one of these since I was a lad too. Since you guys are taking requests, ahem, you simply MUST emu the Memorymoog and ARP Chroma. And if you really love us, produce an Origin II.

This will be a must have synth for me! I'm a huge fan of the excellently crafted Arturia V synths. They look and sound great! Well done Arturia! :-)

Looking forward to this one!

J'aime beaucoup les produits Arturia et, comme celui-ci fait partie de la V collection 5, il va certainement bientôt faire partie de mon setup. Bravo à nos frenchies, beau boulot :)

looks great!

Maybe they should pronounce Synclavier it the way Cameron Jones pronounces it since he created it.

I would sell my kidney for you guys to make a physical version!

I will buy one, as long as they don't try to make me call it a "sink-laver"

Did you actually get rid of the iconic giant silver data knob? ?? That's the iconic part of the synclavier

I’m going to take Cameron Jones’s word on how to pronounce it. Sink-LAY-vee-er 👍

Looks like I'll be taking the "upgrade your v collection" option.

I think I found the missing verse to Alanis Morissette's Ironic. Something about a Synclavier virtual instrument finally being released but without any samples. Man....

Holy Shit! Thank God I make decent money cos it's been a stampede of quality music software releases in the last year or so

Please port this to the iPad Pro :)

good vibrations.....

Bring back the origin!

I actually stumbled upon this video to help learn the proper way to say Synclavier. And rather humorously, know little more now than I did before watching it. However, I'll probably lean on the way Cameron Jones says it since he created it.

Wow!

Sold.

Syn-clay-vee-err not Sink-la-veer

S-A-M-P-L-I-N-G ?!

Does this thing sample? The early samplers had a lo-fi digital quality beyond just low sample rate and bit depth, which I don't fully understand, be cool to make 'people are people' style sounds.

When you are the VP Product Manager and pronounce wrongly the name of the product that you are presenting.

Does it come with v collection? When does it come out?

sin-CLAY-vee-yer

Is the Michael Jackson Thriller-sounding preset (0:01) included with the app?

MPE?

Merci à Arturia de penser aux français...le marché français est il si peu interessant qu'on soit tjrs dernier a avoir des vids en french?

I'm kind of disappointed that they didn't stick to the original design and make an accurate emulation. This seems to me like a synclavier inspired synth not a synclavier emulation.
