Acid V channels the cult-classic bass synth that pushed the underground into overdrive. Pump your mixes full of reactive ever-evolving bass grooves, 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.

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.

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.

Bass Line
Future Sports
(Jean-Baptiste Arthus)
A big beat / breakbeat-style sequence with screaming filter resonance and a heavily-distorted engine.
Three Step
(Sami Rabia)
A sequence of just 3 steps is all you need to kickstart Acid V; tweak the controls and enjoy the hypnotic repetition.

Hard Bass
Overexposed
(Kuba Sojka)
Hard bass sequence with funky modulations and big distortion, great for techno and hard techno. Brightness opens cutoff.
Trance's Waves
(Davide Puxeddu)
Aggressive synthetic bass line, that goes well with your Hard Trance productions. Use Brightness to open the filter. For a perfect result, a BPM of 150 is recommended.

Arpeggio
Clean Arp
(Graphyt)
A classic EDM arp, with subtle injections of glide and vibrato, primed for all kinds of electronic music.
Chopper
(Sami Rabia)
Simple acid arpeggiator. You can try generating accent and slide sequences while tweaking the knobs. Time Macro adds flanger effect.

Melodic Sequence
Three Oh What
(Alex O)
Coaxing a huge trance sound out of Acid V with a long reverberated sequence that gradually builds to a euphoric climax.
Smooth Ride
(Sami Rabia)
A classic hardline acid sequence showcasing Acid V's gritty, abrasive sound, expanded with a touch of stereo delay.

Rhythmic Sequence
Overtones
(Sami Rabia)
Heavy overtones from distortion. Sounds like oscillator sync. Try saw wave for a different set of overtones. Brightness controls the filter frequency.
Earth
(Sami Rabia)
Dark atmospheric hard acid riff with pitch delay. Use Brightness to change cutoff.

Drums
Uptempo Killer
(Graphyt)
Uptempo kick. Best in C1 range, 180 to 220 BPM. Time macro controls the impact's pitch modulation made by modulation 3. Brightness macro controls the tone. Movement controls the tone as well, but in a harder way, by moving multifilter's cutoff.
Acid Kick
(Graphyt)
Techno kick preset. You can change the pitch attack with Time Macro. Brightness and Timbre Macros will give you a more aggressive sound. Movement Macro acts like a filter.
