Plugin Boutique has announced an exclusive promotion on Cherry Audio’s virtual drum machine that accurately recreates the punchy analog sounds of one of the first true classic drum machines, the Roland CompuRhythm CR-78.
The CR-78 Drum Machine comes with all 34 factory preset rhythms and “variation/fill-in” patterns from the original.
Cherry Audio has done away with the original’s complex beat programming, replaced it with a familiar button-per-step interface, and added an easy-to-use song mode for pattern chaining. CR-78 also includes over 250 additional rhythm and sound presets, including special categories that go far beyond the classic CR-78 tones and patterns.
Unlike sample-based emulations, Cherry Audio’s CR-78 uses modeled synthesis to recreate the original’s classic tones, providing a panel with fully editable sound parameters. Four studio-quality effects are available, with a unique send button UI for each individual tone in the effects and mixer section, which also includes a complete mixer, compressor, and a six-band graphic EQ.
On sale for $39 USD instead of $49 USD, the plugin comes in VST/VST3, AU and AAX formats and as standalone software for Windows and Mac. The offer expires November 1st, 2024.
