The Oberheim SEM V faithfully recreates the iconic sound and interface of the original Synthesizer Expander Module introduced in 1974. It captures the classic tone, waveforms, and unique multi-mode 12dB/octave filter, preserving the detailed characteristics that made the original module a staple in synthesis. This emulation not only maintains the vintage sonic qualities but also enhances them with modern features, offering expanded creative possibilities.

Building upon the original design, this VST includes two oscillators with sawtooth and variable-width pulse waves, a sine wave LFO, and two ADS envelope generators. Additional enhancements include a new LFO, noise generator, sub-oscillator, and built-in effects such as overdrive, chorus, and delay. It supports polyphony up to 32 voices, multitimbrality across eight voices, and advanced tools like an 8-voice programmer and modulation matrix, enabling complex sound design and performance flexibility.

The Oberheim SEM V also integrates modern workflow features like MIDI control, arpeggiation with unique sequence modes, and advanced keyboard follow capabilities. It works standalone and supports preset import/export to broaden user customization. With a rich selection of factory presets created by renowned sound designers, this plugin offers a blend of authentic vintage synthesis and innovative enhancements, suitable for both classic and contemporary music production.
