Arturia Acid VvsArturia Matrix-12 V2
Summary
Arturia Acid V and Arturia Matrix-12 V2: 2 Arturia software synths compared side by side. They differ on 5 of 7 compared specifications.
Key differences
- Emulates: Roland TB-303 (1981) on the Acid V and Oberheim Matrix-12 (1985) on the Matrix-12 V2.
- Oscillators: 1 oscillator (square, triangle) plus sub-oscillator on the Acid V and 2 VCOs (triangle, saw, variable pulse); Osc 2 doubles as noise on the Matrix-12 V2.
- Filter: Resonant low-pass on the Acid V and 15-mode multimode (low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, notch, phase shift, combinations) on the Matrix-12 V2.
Both are the same on synth type (Analogue modelling) and plugin formats (VST2, VST3, AU, AAX).
