Attack Magazine: Best of Black Friday 2025

Attack Magazine shares their choices for "Best Music Software Deals of Black Friday 2025," including Cherry Audio's Mercury-4, now an astounding 60% off during our Most Wonderful Time of the Year Sale.

"Cherry Audio is something of a force to be reckoned with in the plugin world. In the last decade, it’s grown from a few synth emulations into a powerhouse to rival Arturia with recreations of famous synths and original instruments. It also tackles ones that don’t tend to get as much love, such as Mercury-4, a solid remake of Roland’s Jupiter-4, the first in the company’s long and illustrious Jupiter line of polysynths."

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) nuance 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.

The Jupiter-4 had its share of disadvantages, including limited patch storage, just four voices of polyphony, and boat-anchor weight. Cherry Audio’s Mercury-4 improves upon the original’s design by offering 16-voice polyphony, infinite patch storage, velocity sensitivity, MPE support, and much more. We’ve even paired it with a fantastic model of the classic tape delay box!

Get Mercury-4 for only $19 and more during November's Most Wonderful Time of the Year Sale, featuring early Black Friday discounts on dozens of hit releases. You can save up to 60% on a wide range of synthesizer plugins and sound packs, with many available at their lowest prices ever!
