Cherry Audio has introduced an innovative software synthesizer that integrates 3 legendary SH-series synths from the ’70s: the SH-5, SH-7, and SH-3A.
Capturing the bold sound of Roland’s SH-5 while incorporating features and aesthetics from the other models, SH-MAX enhances the original designs with greater power, versatility, and essential tools for modern music production.
SH-MAX faithfully recreates the vibrant tones and workflow of the original SH hardware. It features powerful dual oscillators, two LFOs and ADSR envelopes, the dual-parallel multimode and bandpass filter sections, and the five-channel mixer of the SH-5 (1976), plus a ring modulator and sample/hold capability. Also included are autobend, duophony, filter FM, and the syncable VCOs with additional waveforms found in the SH-7 (1978).
The extra additive-style oscillator from the SH-3A (1975) further enhances sound design flexibility. Moreover, SH-MAX incorporates and expands upon the expressive touch performance of the SH-2000 (1973) and features an onboard sequencer inspired by the Model 104 of the legendary System 100 semi-modular synthesizer from 1975.
Available for Windows and macOS in VST/VST3, AU and AAX plugin formats and as standalone software, SH-MAX is priced $59 USD at Plugin Boutique, AudioDeluxe, and from the Cherry Audio store.
