Cherry Audio Eight Voice Virtual Synthesizer (Download)

The Eight Voice from Cherry Audio brings the unique sound of Oberheim’s Eight Voice analog synthesizer to your Mac or PC. Originally released in 1977, the original synth lacked computer control and patch storage, meaning that each of the 8 voice modules had to be progammed manually to get a cohesive polyphonic chord. Cherry Audio’s digital recreation offers a Link Group function that allows you to link the voices together for quick multiplexed parameter adjustments across all the voices, while also allowing you to de-link individual parameters, so you can still tweak individual voices for subtle changes. In addition, the toolbar’s Focus buttons allow you to zoom in on any section of the Eight Voice for easier editing.Each voice module features 2 oscillators, allowing the Eight Voice to operate as a monophonic synth with up to 16 oscillators, as an 8-voice polysynth, or somewhere inbetween. Sound sculpting is done with a 12 dB state-variable filter that can function as a low-pass, high-pass, or band-pass filter. Two envelope generators are supplied, one for the voltage-controlled amplifier and a second for the voltage-controlled filter, each featuring attack, decay, and sustain controls. Two LFOs provide a wide range of modulation options and are tempo syncable with your DAW. A surprisingly versatile 8-step mini-sequencer is also onboard along with a modulation delay and a reverb effect.
