Cherry Audio has announced the release of the latest in its growing line of authentic emulations of classic synthesizers. Pro Soloist features the precision-crafted and circuit-modeled DSP designs of esteemed developer Mark Barton.
The software synthesizer goes far beyond reproducing the expressive controls, 30 presets, and the unique architecture of this 1972 classic.
Most significantly, Cherry Audio breaks Pro Soloist out of its cage by making it fully programmable and expanding it with full polyphony, splits and layers, an arpeggiator, a mod matrix, integrated studio-quality effects, and more.
Cherry Audio has received countless requests to reproduce this oft-forgotten gem — one of those came from frequent collaborator Mark Barton (GX-80, Novachord + Solovox, Miniverse, and others). With unparalleled attention to detail, Mark has created an authentic reproduction of the analog signal path along with the 30 original presets, and together we have substantially expanded the Pro Soloist’s capabilities. Cherry Audio has added a dual-layer voicing architecture, with 16 polyphonic voices per layer, that enables two different presets simultaneously, with independent panning for rich stereo timbres and complex sounds. Pro Soloist also includes a split keyboard mode and a brilliant “Last Note” option that effectively simulates polyphonic aftertouch using monophonic-aftertouch controllers.
Available for Windows and Mac (VST/VST3, AU and AAX), Pro Soloist is on sale for the intro price of $49 USD instead of $69 USD at the Cherry Audio store and from distributor Plugin Boutique.
The synth is also included in the newly released Synth Stack 4 Collection, an update to the complete collection of Cherry Audio’s virtual instruments, which now spans 22 synths.
The bundle includes 19 emulations of classic vintage synthesizers, 3 original synthesizers, a massive modular synthesizer platform, and nearly 8,000 presets.
