Cherry Audio Dreamsynth v1.0.7.128 WiN

18-04-2022
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 polyphonic aftertouch and MPE support, all in an elegant vintage-style synth interface.
An Era of Innovation
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.
A Dream Come True
With the magic of these vintage classics in mind, we set out to design 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:
Three dual-waveform oscillators amount to six simultaneous virtual analog or PCM sample-based oscillators with up to 16 voices of polyphony. When modulation is applied, the unique A/B wave mix controls can create a myriad of evolving or rhythmic vector tones.
Combines authentic analog waveforms with sampled PCM waveforms for incredible new timbres. Includes a massive library of 430 looping, one-shot, and single-cycle PCM waveforms.
Dreamsynth also includes a beautiful-sounding classic string synthesizer that, unlike traditional paraphonic string synths, is fully polyphonic. It operates independently of the oscillator-based synthesizer, and both can be layered and split across the keyboard, with separate assignments for the arpeggiator and effects.
The OB-style 12 dB/octave multimode stereo filters enable breathtaking timbres from subtle to extreme.
Dreamsynth features exceptional modulation capabilities with 20 mod sources and over 40 destinations. Routings are immediately accessible through our innovative interface with individual pop-up menus and invertible knobs.
The effects section includes multiple distortion and sample-crushing options, a 12-stage phaser, chorus, flanger, and rotary speaker effects. Also available are numerous delay (including our acclaimed tape delay) and reverb effects, including our fabulous new "Galactic" algorithm.
Polyphonic Aftertouch as a polyphonic modulation source
Supports MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE), making Dreamsynth capable of more organic and expressive performances.

Reason RE Turn2on Blackpole Station v1.2.2 WiN
Soft / VST Effects
1-04-2022
Blackpole Station is a new polyphonic synthesizer for Reason Propellerhead. Based on 68 waveforms in 5 oscillators (plus three sub-oscillators with 7 detuned saw and square waveforms). Now also containing 4 ROMs. Breaking this down in addition to a separate noise and ring oscillators we have included three main audio sources that can be classic analog oscillators or digital waveforms, one of which is for dedicated sub audio. Each of these main audio sources has a secondary X7 oscillator for blending in weight and energy. This is a deep system of OSCs, Filters, LFOs, Envelopes, Effects and other elements of synthesizer that we have named Blackpole Station.
Reason RE Auryn64 The Synthwave Plugin v1.1.0 WiN

27-12-2021
The Synthwave Plugin was the brainchild of TurboVCR and Derek Strike. It was made in conjunction with experienced RE developer Skrock music. As the namesake might suggest, this is an homage to the analog nostalgic sounds of the 80s. It is not a direct clone of anything from the past but rather a combination of things we love from that era (just as Synthwave music is). This was created as our own personal Dreamsynth for the genre.
The Synthwave plugin features 3 oscillators with mixable waveforms, multimode filter, an extensive FX and a modulation matrix both globally and on each oscillator.

VK-1 Viking Synthesizer gives you the authentic classic analog synthesizer experience. It's a monophonic synth with three oscillators and a 4 pole ladder filter. Add to this plenty of modulation and control voltage capabilities and you get a timeless synth design.
All parameters in Viking have been modeled from real analog hardware, from the oscillator waveforms, to the filter, to the envelopes. Try it out. The proof is in the sound.

Syn’X 2 is a Polytimbral Synthesizer inspired by the synthesis part of a legendary Italian Synthesizer from the 80's, while its multi-layer card-based architecture is inspired by sophisticated hardware analog monsters like the Oberheim Matrix 12.
The Sound :
It offers the striking combination of clear and punchy DCOs with cutting multimode modeled analog filters like its ancestor, one of the last Vintage Polyphonic Analog Synthesizers, and a piece of Synthesis history, including the famous BBD Chorus!
