Description

Bring the distinctly dark and complex character of the Roland Jupiter-6 to your computer with the Mercury-6 Synthesizer from Cherry Audio. This powerful virtual instrument exactingly reproduces the analog sound engine from the original with a pair of voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) sporting multiple waveform choices as well as a noise generator. Sculpt the sounds with the voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA) and convincingly aggressive voltage-controlled filter (VCF) along with envelope generators featuring full ADSR controls. Expanding on the 6-voice original from 1983, this digital recreation features a dual-layer architecture with 16 voices per layer, providing massive amounts of polyphonic synth power.
