Elka-X Anniversary Sale throughout August

In celebration of the first anniversary of its release, Cherry Audio's award-winning Elka-X synthesizer is on sale in August at the stunningly low price of only $29! Elka-X is a virtual instrument is based upon the legendary ELKA Synthex and replicates the exceptional character of the original synth, thoughtfully expands its extraordinary functionality, and delivers the authentic Synthex experience at a price anyone can afford.

Cherry Audio precisely crafted each aspect of the Elka-X synthesizer to sound and behave exactly like a vintage hardware Synthex. Every effort was taken to emulate the prized tone of the original's DCOs, dynamic filter, and stunning chorus. The innovative sound-sculpting and performance features, such as layering and keyboard split, have been preserved, and the original's 128-step sequencer has been greatly improved.

"The original ELKA Synthex is one of my favorite synths ever," said Geoff Downes, founding member of The Buggles and keyboardist for the seminal progressive rock bands Yes and ASIA. "Roll on 40 years, and Cherry Audio's new Elka-X is every bit as good sounding as the original, if not better."

Elka-X has also been highly acclaimed in many industry reviews, receiving MusicTech's "Essential" award in 2022, a 5-star rating from MusicRadar, and a 10 out of 10 rating from Computer Music magazine.
