MusicRadar: Five Stars for "Superb" Atomika

Kicking off 2025 with a big bang, MusicRadar has awarded Atomika a stellar five-star rating in its latest review. The online publication commended Atomika for its exceptional modeling and stunning design, describing it as "superb." Notably, Atomika is the fifth instrument released in 2024 to achieve this perfect 5-stars from MusicRadar, joining the ranks of the P-10, Wurlybird 140B, Rhodes Chroma, and CR-78.

"Atomika is another stunning recreation from Cherry Audio, with its usual attention to detail. Thanks to its resizeable GUI, you can lock yourself away and get lost in its hidden depths. Cherry has made the interface incredibly inviting and three-dimensional, however it is the character of sound that really drives this plugin, and it will be a brilliant accessory to the more usual polyphonic plugins that are available.

MusicRadar verdict: It could be argued that Atomika pays homage to a misunderstood classic from a bygone age, but you only have to sit down and play with the filter, to understand why it's such a desirable synthesizer for catering to contemporary production requirements."
