The SEM module was originally made to compliment other synthesizers but later came into its own as a great sounding synth. The unique filter that allowed continuously variable operation from low pass to high pass gave it a sound that no other had. When multiple SEM's were connected into a 4 or 8 voice polyphonic system, it became a thing of beauty.

The original SEM has particular characteristics for which it is loved by many musicians to this day. SEM V brings back the sound and special characteristics in an accurate virtual emulation.
The SEM V modules have been faithfully modeled using TAE® (True Analog Emulation), Arturia’s proprietary technology that precisely models the behavior of analog circuits.
And the results speak for themselves: SEM V is a stunningly accurate virtual instrument that delivers the same acoustic properties as the original.
