iSEM Synthesizer

Arturia iSEM recreates an SEM-style synthesizer with oscillators, filters, modulation and touch controls.

Our take

Choose for vintage-inspired sound design in a supported music setup.

Polyphony, additional modulation and a large preset library extend the original-style architecture.

Keep in mind: The synthesis is a software emulation; integration with older host technologies should be checked on the actual current setup.

What you can do

  • Play over five hundred supplied sounds
  • Edit oscillators and multimode filters
  • Use arpeggiation and voice programming
  • Control parameters with MIDI
  • Use supported AUv3 and Audiobus connections
  • Exchange supported SEM V patches

Good for

  • Musicians exploring SEM-inspired sounds

Consider alternatives for

  • Users requiring physical analog circuitry or universal host compatibility

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 12.1.
  • The synthesis is a software emulation; integration with older host technologies should be checked on the actual current setup.

Privacy & permissions

Imported presets and shared patches may contain creative work; review transfer destinations and library permissions.
