Product details
In 1982, the Memorymoog did what no polyphonic synth had done: six voices, each with three oscillators, creating a wall of analog sound that players still talk about. Arturia Memory V captures that enormity and rebuilds it for today — the triple-oscillator architecture and ladder filter intact, surrounded by the modulation depth, polyphony and effects modern production demands.
The full synthesizer is €39.99 here — your own license key, download link by email.
Three oscillators, zero compromise
One oscillator is a sound. Three detuned oscillators is a statement. Memory V’s triple-oscillator engine is where the size comes from: stack them in unison for leads that dominate a mix, spread them across the stereo field for pads the size of cathedrals, or detune them slightly for the living, breathing quality that single-oscillator synths cannot fake. The analog drive circuitry and vintage dispersion add the imperfections — drift, saturation, warmth — that separate real analog character from clean digital imitation.
The ladder filter, properly done
The transistor ladder filter is the most imitated circuit in synthesis, and Memory V’s version delivers: creamy at low resonance, snarling when pushed, always musical. It is the reason basses from this synth sit with authority and why filter sweeps feel dramatic rather than clinical. Combined with the triple oscillators, it is the complete classic analog voice.
A modern instrument wearing vintage clothes
Under the hood, this is a 21st-century synth: drag-and-drop modulation, multiple LFOs, advanced envelopes, random generators and full MPE support for expressive playing. The four-layer Multi-Arp generates complex sequenced patterns from simple chords — stack rhythmic and melodic layers that evolve independently for arrangements with real movement. Macros put the most musical parameters one knob away. And 300+ presets mean you start from finished sounds — synthwave basses, cinematic pads, EDM leads, vintage brass — not from an initialized patch.
Why creators buy from AudioTools
AudioTools is built for producers and creators who want legendary sounds without legendary prices. Every customer receives their own individual license key, with a secure download link sent to your email, and support that actually answers. At €39.99, Memory V is the most analog per dollar in synthesis — browse the shop for more, or explore the Synth Plugins category for instruments with real character.
Making it yours
The preset library is deep, but Memory V rewards personalization: start from a preset close to what you hear in your head, then push the analog drive and dispersion to taste. Small moves make big differences with this architecture — a semitone of detune here, a touch more filter envelope there. Save your versions as you go and you will build a personal library that no other producer has, which is the real advantage of a deep synth over a preset player.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a faithful Memorymoog recreation?
It recreates the triple-oscillator architecture and ladder filter of the 1982 original, then extends it with modern polyphony, modulation, MPE and effects.
What is MPE and why does it matter?
MIDI Polyphonic Expression lets compatible controllers bend, slide and modulate each note independently — Memory V responds with per-note expression.
Can it do modern EDM sounds as well as vintage?
Yes — the 300+ presets span synthwave, EDM, house, techno, cinematic and ambient alongside classic analog territory.
What is the Multi-Arp?
A four-layer arpeggiator/sequencer system for generating complex melodic and rhythmic patterns from simple input.
How do I receive it?
