Glad they work for you man! I’ve got their ARP Quadra and tbh I just can’t get into it. Sounds very vanilla. I’ve played a real Quadra before and it lit me right up.

As a Cherry Audio developer said in a related CA thread a while back, asking the same question as yours on this site: the fact is that original synth plug-ins are a harder sell and generate less revenue. There’s generally a steeper learning curve involved in patch generation, mainly due to the unfamiliarity of the user interface. There’s always been a boutique market for rare & functioning – and pricey – vintage synths. As computer power & speed has increased by leaps and bounds over the years, it’s possible to create a modern plug-in version of a widely sought vintage synth; on top of that, the user interfaces of vintage synth plug-ins are fairly well understood by synth fanatics and sound designers. If more people bought plug-ins based on original synth designs, you can bet that developers such as Cherry Audio would be churning them out!

like Sines and Dreamsynth, 2 of my favorite cherry audio instruments?

They have three by my count — Dreamsynth, Sines and Harmonia.

Every company has a certain “sound” of their own, but its really about context. I use their GX-80 for mega pads, the Memorymode for Moog things and the Elka-X for more melodic polysynth sounds. With a little effecting, they really shine. Not a clinker in the lot.

I’d really like them to do an OSCar, this isn’t a million miles away sonically or architecturally.

A good response from Cherry Audio to all those who say all their synths sound the same. This sounds incredible, very very strident and tough sounding oscillators and a nice, creamy and very analog sounding filter. Good stuff.
