Dreams Brought to Life

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 fully polyphonic analog strings extensive and easy-to-use modulation studio-quality effects and MPE support all in an elegant vintage-style synth interface.An Era of InnovationDreamsynth 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.A Dream Come TrueWith the magic of these vintage classics in mind we set out to create Dreamsynth. Dreamsynth is a “What if…?” synthesizer incorporating the distinctive qualities of this remarkable era with the best features of modern software instruments to create a uniquely 21st-century hybrid. Here’s a look at the highlights:

Features:

• 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 and 430 looping one-shot and single-cycle waveforms
• Fully polyphonic 16-voice string synthesizer which can be layered and split across the keyboard independent of the primary synth
• OB-style 12 dB/octave multimode stereo filters
• Extensive and accessible modulation capabilities with 20 mod sources and over 40 destinations including effects
• Analog drift control for increased authenticity
• Three tempo-syncable LFOs
• Arpeggiator with tempo sync independently assignable to the synth and string synth
• Fully modulatable effects include multiple distortion and sample-crushing options a 12-stage phaser chorus flanger rotary speaker effects delay and reverb including our new “Galactic” reverb algorithm
• Support for MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE)
• Highly optimized coding for optimal performance with ultra-low CPU load
