Cherry Audio has introduced its latest virtual synthesizer instrument, this time paying tribute to the legendary 1978 EDP Wasp synthesizer.
Perfectly replicating the Wasp’s distinct buzzy tone and its hybrid analog/digital design, Yellowjacket incorporating modern features that enhance its creative possibilities.
These include elements of other EDP instruments, unison and 16-voice polyphony, emulation of the Wasp’s integrated speaker, an expanded multimode filter, and a new-to-Cherry advanced arpeggiator with probability and humanise controls.
We’ve replicated the look of the notorious touch-capacitive yellow and black keyboard of the original, enhanced it with diatonic scales and transpose, and extended it with customizable pressure control with support for expressive channel and polyphonic aftertouch. Perhaps the most exciting feature of Yellowjacket is directly inspired by EDP’s innovative pre-MIDI system that allowed multiple synths to be chained together: multi-voice modes that add adjustable “mini synths” that can provide subtle or extreme variation in tone, single-fingered chords and arpeggiated patterns, lush stereo effects, and more.
Yellowjacket for Windows and Mac (VST/VST3, AU and AAX) is available to purchase for $49 USD at Plugin Boutique and from the Cherry Audio store.
