Arturia Acid VvsArturia DX7 V
Summary
Arturia Acid V and Arturia DX7 V: 2 Arturia software synths compared side by side. They differ on 7 of 8 compared specifications.
Key differences
- Synth type: Analogue modelling on the Acid V and Digital (FM) on the DX7 V.
- Emulates: Roland TB-303 (1981) on the Acid V and Yamaha DX7 (1983) on the DX7 V.
- Oscillators: 1 oscillator (square, triangle) plus sub-oscillator on the Acid V and 6 operators, 32 algorithms, 25 waveforms per operator on the DX7 V.
- Filter: Resonant low-pass on the Acid V and Multimode filter per operator on the DX7 V.
- Sequencer: 64-step polymetric sequencer with slide, accent and pattern generation on the Acid V and Step sequencer on the DX7 V.
Both are the same on plugin formats (VST2, VST3, AU, AAX).
