UVI release Synth Anthology 5, now featuring 300 hardware synthesizers in an even more powerful dual-layer engine
Paris, July 2nd, 2026 – UVI release Synth Anthology 5, the largest and most complete edition of its landmark hardware synthesizer collection, brings together 300 instruments from every era, manufacturer, and method of synthesis in a single software instrument. From the pioneering polyphonic synthesizers of the 1970s to the boutique and flagship hardware of today, Synth Anthology 5 places an entire history of electronic sound at your fingertips, instantly playable in any DAW.
REAL HARDWARE, SAMPLED BY HAND
Every sound in Synth Anthology 5 begins with the original hardware. Each machine is sourced, serviced, and captured through high-end signal chains, then expertly programmed and edited by UVI’s own sound design team. Built with a deliberate, hand-crafted approach, Synth Anthology 5 delivers the sound of real circuits, real voices, real character, captured faithfully. The result is 300 synthesizers, 6,000+ sounds and presets, each one carrying the unmistakable energy of the hardware it came from.
WHAT’S NEW IN VERSION 5
- 100+ synthesizers, 1,000+ sound layers, 16,000+ samples
- 300 presets
- Analog Drift control
- Hardware-modeled Ladder filter
- Hardware-modeled VCF4023 filter
- Polyphonic sequencer mode
- Per-step sequencer note repeat
AN ENGINE THAT GOES BEYOND THE HARDWARE
Hardware sound is only half the story. The other half is what its engine lets you do with it: a creative dimension found in neither the original hardware nor anywhere else in software. At its core is a dual- layer architecture that combines any two of the 300 synthesizers into a single hybrid voice, with the blend itself fully modulatable, allowing for the exploration of entirely new layered sounds.
FIND MORE. FEEL MORE.
A built-in Proximity Explorer analyzes each sound you load and instantly surfaces eight relatedvoices to audition and remix, turning a 6,000+ preset library into a guided path of discovery. While the new Analog Drift control introduces small, living instabilities, adding the character of decaying circuitry and increasing analog imperfection at the turn of a knob.
Synth Anthology 5 offers native 64-bit standalone operation by way of Falcon or the free UVI Workstation, providing comprehensive support for all modern DAWs and simultaneous authorization on up to 3 computers or iLok keys.
