Cherry Audio Year One Collection Modules for Voltage Modular Virtual Synthesizer Overview
The Year One Collection Modules from Cherry Audio is a collection of all 21 modules for the Voltage Modular from the first year this virtual-modular synthesizer platform was introduced. The collection includes Additive Oscillator, ESP-20 Processor, Hex Phaser, Lyrinx Filter, Mega Saw, MPE Interface, Octagon Sequencer, Random Task, Remote Control, Sampler II, Sixteen-Step Sequencer, Stereo Delay, TB Filter, TB Oscillator, VCF-20 / Poly VCF-20 Filter, VCO-20 / Poly VCO-20 Dual Oscillators, EG-20 / Poly EG-20 Envelope Generator, Vintage Resonator, Vocoder, and Voltage-Controlled Mixer. A library of 50 presets is provided to jump-start your creative process. The Voltage Modular software (available as a free download) runs on Mac and Windows computers as a plug-in or standalone instrument.
Additive Oscillator
The Additive Oscillator is inspired by classic ’70s-era West Coast synthesis, and lets users combine the first eight partials in the harmonic series to create complex composite tones. Its extensive modulation capabilities allow sounds ranging from beautiful, flowing audio tapestries to bleepy computer music.
ESP-20 Processor
The ESP-20 Processor recreates the slightly bizarre and endlessly useful external signal processor section of the classic MS-20 synthesizer. The frequency-to-voltage converter analyzes incoming audio and generates matching voltages for controlling oscillator pitch and envelope amplitude. This lets you play the Voltage Modular by singing, playing guitar, or any other monophonic signal source. The ESP-20’s frequency converter has a much wider range than the original for increased functionality, while still retaining the quirkiness of the original.
Hex Phaser
The Hex Phaser is a powerful and flexible stereo phaser. Unlike other phasers, the number of active stages and the stage at which feedback is introduced is easily configurable for a huge palette of phasing colors. Rate, depth, bandwidth, and feedback amount can all be fully modulated. The unique Stereo Offset control alters the phase relationship between the left and right channel LFOs for massive stereo phasing effects.
Lyrinx Filter
Lyrinx Filter precisely replicates the unique voltage-controlled formant filter of the super-rare Synton Syrinx synthesizer. Consisting of two band-pass and one low-pass filter with multiple routing configurations, it excels at creating unique vocal-like timbres and includes extensive CV capabilities. This lets you easily create funky talking synth sounds. Lyrinx is super easy to use and capable of a very wide array of timbres.
MPE Interface
MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) is a method of using MIDI which enables multidimensional expression. Each note has its own pitch bend, pressure sensitivity, and slide or timbre. Connect poly cables out to various modules in your setup for the ultimate in expression with MIDI. Control up to 15 notes per module. (The first channel in MPE is the global channel and is used for global pitch bend, etc.)
MS Vintage Bundle mkII
Featuring the VCO-20 Dual Oscillator, Poly VCO-20 Dual Oscillator, VCF-20 Filter, Poly VCF-20 Filter, EG-20, Poly EG-20, and ESP-20 Processor, Cherry Audio’s MS Vintage Bundle mkII recreates the legendary raunchy, screaming character of one the most famous Japanese synths of the ’70s with stunning accuracy. Poly VCO-20 Dual Oscillator and Poly VCF-20 Filter bring these uniquely aggressive tones to polyphonic synthesis. The idiosyncratic external signal processor section is also replicated, offering endless creative options.
Mega Saw
Mega Saw delivers the immense hoover sound of multiple detuned sawtooth waves. Up to 32 simultaneously saws can sound with CV-controllable detune amount.
Octagon Sequencer
Octagon is a powerhouse sequencer that allows superfast and easy creation of rhythmically elaborate patterns and melodies. Sequences can be up to 32 steps, and each step contains up to 8 gate pulses with numerous modes for extended note values, legato play, repeats, or user-defined patterns within each sequence step. Each step includes ratcheting, skip, and slide controls.
Octagon’s unique slide implementation allows traditional-style synth portamento or 303-style constant rate slide. Up to 32 steps can be enabled and viewed via Octagon’s bank and step-shift controls. Octagon also offers numerous step play order modes including an innovative CV control mode for playing steps via a keyboard controller or another sequencer. A complete array of CV inputs allow real-time voltage control of tempo, note gate time, sequence length, transport controls, and more.
Random Task
A Turing-machine-style CV module for generating semirandom voltages, with CV control of probability, note shuffling, and pattern step length.
Remote Control
Allows CV control of up to eight controls of any module via an easy-to-use click-to-assign visual interface. This is especially useful for controls that do not have any CV option.
Sampler II
Sampler II is a unique, retro-inspired digital sampler module, designed with creativity at the fore. It features full sample editing, user sampling, variable sample rate and bit depth, and extensive real-time CV modulation.
Sixteen-Step Sequencer
Classic 16-step sequencer with built-in CV pitch quantization, adjustable gate time, definable pattern length, external clocking and reset, and more.
Stereo Delay
Delay with stereo in and out, CV control of time, feedback, and mix, and a spread control for adding stereo width to inputs.
TB Oscillator
TB Oscillator is a superaccurate modular recreation of the oscillator section of the world’s most iconic acid techno bass synth. The TB Oscillator’s Wave Mix control adds new tone colors.
TB Filter
TB Filter is a superaccurate modular recreation of the filter section of the world’s most iconic acid techno bass synth. The TB Filter’s saturation knob creates subtle to nasty overdrive.
Vintage Resonator
Vintage Resonator closely models the resonator section of the classic Moog Polymoog synthesizer. Originally described as something of a parametric EQ on steroids, the resonator section consists of three state-variable filters in a parallel configuration, each operating in a chunk of the frequency spectrum (low/mid/high). The filters are globally switchable to operate in high-pass, bandpass, or low-pass mode, and they’re fantastic at imparting an organic feel to lifeless patches. Cherry Audio has enhanced the original version with the addition of a 12/24 dB slope selector, as well as bipolar CV inputs for each filter’s cutoff frequency—for killer animated phasing-type sounds.
Vocoder
A fantastic sounding 11-band vocoder with adjustable band volume, individual band outputs, global bandwidth and decay controls, and sibilance trim.
Voltage-Controlled Mixer
A four-channel mixer for audio and control signals featuring solo and mute, individual stereo outs, and full voltage control of level and pan for all channels.
