bitflipper Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I think this would be a great synth for somebody new to synths who wants to learn how to create their own patches from scratch. It's got every parameter you'd expect in a classic subtractive synthesizer plus some not-so-common features, all laid out in a logical manner. Back in the day this would have been considered an exceptionally full-featured synth. Sure, modern soft synths include more sophisticated features, but that also makes the process of learning to program them more intimidating. Plus, it sounds really good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitflipper Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Here's something Cherry Audio has so far neglected to do - post some actual sounds. If you're hearing Oberheim-like sounds, it's those 12dB/octave filters. This synth also offers 24dB slopes for a more Moog-ish profile. Note that this video shows the actual synth upon which the Cherry emulation is based. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBH Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 This is my favorite style of VST synth. I'm more old school bent with a control per function. No tabs or drop down menu that I can see from the demo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
