Arturia’s Newest Memory V Revives the Iconic 1982 Memorymoog
![]()
Arturia has launched Memory V, a software instrument designed to recreate the sound of the iconic, yet famously unreliable, Moog Memorymoog synthesizer. The original Memorymoog, Moog’s last major polyphonic synth before the company faced financial difficulties, was known for its rich, full sound – each note created using three oscillators. While it heavily influenced the synthpop and progressive rock of the early 1980s, it was notoriously difficult to keep in working order due to its intricate design and frequent power supply failures. Memory V aims to capture that classic warmth and sound without the headaches of the original hardware.
