VIBRATO is basically a fixed LFO that can be extended from slow pitch drift all the way up to audio-rate, FM-style modulation. The SUB OSC is a big deal, especially as you can push its level up with the BASS BOOST voice setting. You’ll also see some immediate additions. You can’t program 303-style on the Acid V – there’s only the modern sequencer option – so you’ll use those buttons mainly for transposition and simple triggering. The main UI gives you all the basic 303 controls – pitch, cutoff, resonance, env mod, decay, accent, and the waveform switch, plus a row of trigger-able buttons and HOLD. But let’s look what’s going on on the interface. If you just want a strong 303 emulation, some more out-there acid-y extras, and a bunch of preset patterns and sounds, Arturia of course has you covered. ![]() So let’s instead assume that what’s appealing about Arturia’s take is the ability to expand on what a 303 is and add in other ideas. I doubt seriously you’d choose this one for authenticity alone, though, given the competition from Roland Cloud, Audiorealism, and D16, among others. The Acid V sounds really good, and you can tweak it in a way that makes it sound like original 303 hardware – or even what you imagine sounds more like the original hardware – with voice settings. There are also some nice extras like the ability to map the hold to a sustain pedal.
