Cherry Audio has introduced a new virtual instrument which faithfully replicates the unique digital/analog sound of the original hardware DS-2 synth from 1978. The latest collaboration with Crumar Instruments not only captures the distinctive tone and multitimbral capabilities of the original but also enhances them, offering an impressive combination of innovation and authenticity.
Crumar DS-2 is a modern take on “vintage digital” technology, upgraded by Cherry Audio for the 21st century.
This plugin features an expanded monophonic synth section with high/low settings, Unison, and Multi-voice options, along with polyphonic functionality that supports 4, 8, or 16 voices. The polyphonic section can handle up to 32 notes of full polyphony. Additionally, OSC 2 now includes a matching stair-stepped sine waveform, and the addition of oscillator sync enhances sound design possibilities.
DS-2 also offers customizable keyboard splits and layers, an extra LFO, an expanded filter, a wide range of modulation options, polyphonic aftertouch, a dynamic arpeggiator, 20 studio-quality effects, and over 300 professionally designed presets.
Available in VST/VST3, AU and AAX plugin formats and as standalone software for Windows and macOS, Crumar DS-2 is priced $59 USD at Plugin Boutique and from the Cherry Audio store.
