Mercury-4 Testimonials

“I love it, it sounds so good! I turned on the random arpeggiator mode and just started playing with all the faders. Sounds just like my (old) Jupiter! Nice to have it back - the sound is really fat, and having the Space Echo there is a nice touch. I”

“This plug-in is AMAZING! Putting the Space Echo section in was brilliant - it adds so much color and vibe to already amazing sounds. That's usually what I do when I pull up a soft synth - add tape and saturation. It's so great to have it right there”

“My very first band back in 1985 had a Jupiter-4, and I've missed it ever since. These days they are virtually unobtanium. I grabbed Mercury-4 at the first opportunity, and it completely exceeded my expectations. Thanks for reuniting me with a”

“Between 1978 and 1981, the Jupiter 4 was at the center of my rig. With no onboard effects other than the chorus “ensemble”, the RE-201 Space Echo was a vital part of its sound. Cherry Audio have convincingly packaged tributes to both of these”

“I love this synth! The tape echo and reverb inclusion is genius… getting very Thomas Dolby here. :-) You guys keep putting out virtual instruments that sound like hardware, I mean really sound like hardware! So easy to get lost in this one!”
