Arturia Acid VvsArturia CZ V
Summary
Arturia Acid V and Arturia CZ V: 2 Arturia software synths compared side by side. They differ on 6 of 7 compared specifications.
Key differences
- Synth type: Analogue modelling on the Acid V and Digital (phase distortion) on the CZ V.
- Emulates: Roland TB-303 (1981) on the Acid V and Casio CZ-101 / CZ-1000 (1984) on the CZ V.
- Oscillators: 1 oscillator (square, triangle) plus sub-oscillator on the Acid V and 2 synthesis lines, 8 original waveforms plus custom waveform editor, noise on the CZ V.
- Filter: Resonant low-pass on the Acid V and Phase-distortion DCW (no filter, as the original) on the CZ V.
Both are the same on plugin formats (VST2, VST3, AU, AAX).
