KR-55C Drum Machine
MusicRadar 5-stars! KR-55C includes all of the rhythms of both the 1979 KR-55A and the 1982 KR-55B “Rhythm 55” drum machines, resulting in 144 patterns, 32 intros, and 32 fills, with a switchable UI matching either model. We've added user rhythm programmability with a familiar x0x-style 16-button interface. Cherry Audio has flawlessly recreated the sounds of the KR-55 using analog modeling, providing users with editable parameters such as tuning and EQ for each instrument. The effects section enables separate processing of each instrument sound, including overdrive, flanger/chorus, delay, and reverb. The master effects section includes a colorful and fun bus compressor and separate bus limiter for master amplitude control.

Wurlybird 140B Electric Piano
Wurlybird 140B is Cherry Audio’s first sample-based electro-acoustic virtual instrument, modeled after the Wurlitzer 140B, an electronic piano with a solid-state amplifier released in the early 60s.
-
Rhodes Chroma
Rhodes® Chroma is a virtual instrument that brings back the spirit and sounds of the iconic Chroma polyphonic analog synthesizer from 1982 with the utmost accuracy. Cherry Audio has painstakingly emulated every aspect with exacting precision, but made the sound programming experience more intuitive. In addition to the standard single instrument mode, Rhodes Chroma includes the ability to add the Expander, effectively adding an entire second Chroma synthesizer to the mix that can run in layer or split modes.
-
CR-78 Drum Machine
Cherry Audio's CR-78 accurately recreates the punchy analog sounds and 34 onboard preset rhythms of the first true classic drum machine and takes it much further. We've done away with the complex beat programming, replaced it with a familiar X0X-style button-per-step interface, and added an easy-to-use song mode for pattern chaining. Unlike sample-based emulations, Cherry Audio's CR-78 uses modeled synthesis to recreate the classic tones of the original and makes a quantum leap forward by making these sounds fully editable. Four studio-quality effects are provided, with a uniquely fast and fun "send button" for each individual tone in the effects and mixer section, which also includes a complete mixer, compressor, and a six-band graphic EQ.
-
Synthesizer Expander Module
Synthesizer Expander Module is a FREE emulation of the classic self‑contained synthesizer module of the same name. Though it was a simple, barebones monosynth, the Synthesizer Expander Module possessed a unique tone quality, courtesy of its 12 dB/oct state-variable filter. With lowpass, bandpass, highpass, and notch modes, this flexible filter was the star of the show. We've precisely recreated it here with a filter section and Phasor effect programmed by award-winning synth designer Mark Barton (MRB).

Pro Soloist not only exactingly reproduces the expressive controls, 30 presets, and the unique underlying architecture of this prog rock classic, it breaks it out of its cage by making it fully programmable and expanding it with full polyphony, splits and layers, a mod matrix, integrated studio-quality effects, and more.
-
PS-3300
PS-3300 is an exactingly faithful virtual analog emulation of the colossal and ultra-rare semi-modular analog polyphonic synthesizer released by KORG in 1977. Cherry Audio has pulled out all the stops to accurately recreate and update this mythical monster synth, from its massive stacked sonic character and signature multiple‑resonator sweeps to the considerable patching capabilities that distinguished the PS-3300 from all other polysynths at the time.
-
Harmonia
Harmonia is a wildly innovative virtual instrument from Cherry Audio, designed to easily create rich, evolving polyphonic tones through its intuitive visual interface. Using techniques similar to those found in additive synthesis, each Harmonia oscillator simultaneously produces up to eight pitches, individually tuned to harmonic series or semitone pitches. The volume for each harmonic can be fixed or dynamic, and interpolated harmonic scanning enables dramatic sweeps and melodious sequences.
-
Octave Cat
Cherry Audio’s Octave Cat synthesizer emulates the duophonic CAT synthesizer unleashed by Octave Electronics in 1976. Developed in partnership with The CAT’s original designer, Octave Cat retains all the growl of the original hardware’s fat, savage sound and replicates its aggressive resonant filter. Octave Cat features the flexible modulation, screaming audio-range oscillator cross-mod, and fierce oscillator sync of the original hardware, and extends it with expanded polyphony, a robust integrated effects suite, and a versatile dual-step sequencer.
-
Novachord + Solovox
Novachord + Solovox is a collection of two virtual synthesizer instruments emulating the forerunners of mass-produced synthesizers. Novachord is based on the revolutionary polyphonic instrument from 1939 that used a staggering 163 vacuum tubes and 1,000 custom capacitors. Solovox replicates a related monophonic keyboard instrument intended to provide organ-type lead accompaniment. Together, these now exceedingly rare instruments set standards for tone generation and synthesis techniques that continue to influence today’s electronic instruments.

Mercury-4
Mercury-4 is a detailed emulation of one of the best-sounding and quirkiest polyphonic synthesizers of the late 1970's, the Roland Jupiter-4. It’s the rarest and most sonically unique of the fabled Jupiter series, and we’ve gone to great lengths to recreate the subtle (and not-so-subtle) nuances and character of this beloved classic. Every aspect of Mercury-4 has been expertly modeled upon a vintage Jupiter-4 originally owned by Greg Hawkes of the legendary 80’s new wave band The Cars, and played on their double-platinum 1981 album Shake It Up. In Greg’s words, Mercury-4 “sounds just like my old Jupiter! It’s nice to have it back.”
-
Memorymode
Memorymode is based upon one of the very best-sounding polyphonic programmable analog synthesizers of the 80s - the legendary Memorymoog synthesizer. Released in 1982, the Memorymoog raised the sonic bar with its lush, powerful analog sound. Memorymode was expertly modeled upon a vintage Memorymoog originally owned by jazz legend Chick Corea. It expands upon the original without compromising any of the sound or functionality that made it great, and does away with the reliability, maintenance, and tuning issues of the original.
-
PS-20
The PS-20 truly is one of the most quirky and unique instruments we’ve released. Between its sometimes unpredictable filter behavior, and the tremendous flexibility of its patch panel and sequencer, the possibilities are endless, and the creative "happy accident" quotient of PS-20 is simply off the charts!
-
Eight Voice
Eight Voice polyphonic synthesizer meticulously emulates the immense sound of the Oberheim® Eight Voice, one of the world’s rarest and most desirable vintage instruments. Predating modern microprocessor control, its eight independent dual-oscillator voice modules could be challenging to program. Cherry Audio Eight Voice’s unique Voice Link controls allow simple and powerful grouping of voice module controls, eliminating individually setting each module's controls when homogenous poly sounds are desired. All in all, we’ve transformed the original’s daunting user interface into a fun and inviting mondo polysynth experience.
-
Polymode Synthesizer
Polymode is inspired by the groundbreaking Moog Polymoog synthesizer. One of the world’s first polyphonic synthesizers, its unique multiple parallel filter implementation and mod routings give it a sound like no other synth. And though the original Polymoog sounded incredible, it could be challenging to operate and was prone to breakdowns. Cherry Audio’s Polymode sidesteps all of the drawbacks of the original instrument and massively expands its capabilities.
