Cherry Audio's Dreamsynth is a tribute to the celebrated hybrid analog/digital synthesizers of the mid-to-late 1980s. The innovative design blends flexible dual-wave morphing oscillators, stereo filters, a fully polyphonic string synthesizer, extensive and easy-to-use modulation, studio-quality effects, and MPE support, all in an elegant vintage-style synth interface.

Cherry Audio's Dreamsynth is available now at cherryaudio.com and authorized resellers worldwide for only $39!

Dreamsynth draws its inspiration from renowned synths including the Ensoniq ESQ-1, the Kawai "K" series, and the Sequential Prophet VS. These "hybrid" synthesizers combined the precision and flexibility of sampled digital oscillators with the warmth of analog filters. The mixture of digital and analog sound produced instruments with character and a unique sonic fingerprint that still resonates today.

DREAMSYNTH FEATURES

• Innovative design blends flexible dual-wave morphing oscillators, stereo filters, analog strings, extensive modulation, studio-quality effects, and MPE support, all in an elegant vintage-style synth interface
• Three dual-waveform oscillators, amounting to six simultaneous virtual analog or PCM sample-based oscillators with up to 16 voices of polyphony
• Authentically modeled virtual analog waveforms, plus 430 looping, one-shot, and single-cycle PCM waveforms
• Fully polyphonic 16-voice string synthesizer can be layered and split independently of the primary synth
• Three tempo-syncable LFOs
• Arpeggiator, independently assignable to synth or string sections
• OB-style 12 dB/octave multimode stereo filters
• Extensive and accessible modulation: 20 mod sources and over 40 destinations, including effects
• Effects include distortion and sample-crushing, 12-stage phaser, chorus, flanger, rotary speaker, delay, and reverb, including the new "Galactic" reverb algorithm
• Support for MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) -- Pitch, Channel Pressure, and Timbre -- making Dreamsynth capable of more organic and expressive performances when using MPE-compatible controllers
• A massive library of over 1100 presets from a wildly talented and diverse group of sound designers including James Terris, Katharine Fountain aka FOUNTAINS, Julian Pollack (J3PO), Dave Polich, Julie Kathryn (I AM SNOW ANGEL), Huston Singletary, Mark Wilcox, Joseph Holiday, Agent Method, and Venus Theory
