Cherry Audio Dreamsynth Synthesizer Plug-in

Description

Cherry Audio’s Dreamsynth plug-in is a tribute to the celebrated hybrid analog/digital synthesizers of the mid-to-late 1980s. An innovative design blends flexible dual-wave morphing oscillators, stereo filters, fully polyphonic analog strings, extensive modulation, studio-quality effects and MPE support, all in an elegant vintage-style synth interface. Dreamsynth draws its inspiration from renowned synths including the Ensoniq ESQ-1, the Kawai “K” series and the Sequential Prophet VS. In the second half of the ’80s, music production was rapidly transitioning from analog to digital. These “hybrid” synthesizers bridged the gap, combining the precision and flexibility of sampled digital oscillators with the warmth of analog filters. The combination of digital and analog sound produced instruments with character and a unique sonic fingerprint that still resonates today. Dreamsynth is a synthesizer incorporating the distinctive qualities of this remarkable era with the best features of modern software instruments to create a uniquely 21st-century hybrid.FeaturesThree dual-waveform oscillators, amounting to six simultaneous virtual analog or PCM sample-based oscillators with up to 16 voices of polyphonyAuthentically modeled virtual analog waveforms and 430 looping, one-shot and single-cycle waveformsFully polyphonic 16-voice string synthesizer which can be layered and split across the keyboard independent of the primary synthOB-style 12 dB/octave multimode stereo filtersExtensive and accessible modulation capabilities, with 20 mod sources and over 40 destinations, including effectsAnalog drift control for increased authenticityThree tempo-syncable LFOsArpeggiator with tempo sync, independently assignable to the synth and string synthSupport for MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE)Highly optimized coding for optimal performance with ultra-low CPU loadUser-adjustable oversampling controlAdvanced one-click UI magnificationComplete MIDI control and DAW automation for all controlsOver 1,100 presets created by a talented and diverse group of sound design veteransSpecsmacOS Requirements: macOS 10.9 or above (including macOS 12), 64-bit requiredNative Apple M1 processor supportQuad-core computer with 8GB of RAM recommendedMPE requires a DAW and hardware controller supporting MIDI Polyphonic ExpressionWindows Requirements: Windows 7 or above (including Windows 11), 64-bit requiredQuad-core computer with 8GB of RAM recommendedMPE requires a DAW and hardware controller supporting MIDI Polyphonic ExpressionCherry Audio Dreamsynth Synthesizer Plug-in
