Cherry Audio P-10

The Cherry Audio P-10 is modeled after one of the most sought-after flagship analog polysynths. Originally released by SCI in 1980, the original instrument combined two revolutionary P5 programmable synths in a large dual - manual case with a built - in 'poly sequencer'. It could be set up in multiple ways, like two independent five - voice synths, a single ten - voice synth, or in dual - patch layered modes. The P - 10 precisely recreates the excellence of this classic, including original factory presets, and enhances features for modern music production. Cherry Audio aimed to capture the powerful 80s sounds of many well - known artists. Each aspect of the P - 10, from oscillators to filters, is carefully modeled. Thoughtful updates have been added for a modern user experience, such as 16 - voice per layer polyphony, a four - track step sequencer, and more. Its modulation powers are impressive, with Mono Mod, Poly Mod, Aux Mod, and a new Pressure Mod section. There's also a second panel with an arpeggiator and effects for each layer. With comprehensive MIDI mapping and over 500 professional presets, it's a top - choice virtual instrument for vintage synth lovers and today's music producers.

Using the Cherry Audio P - 10 is easy. First, familiarize yourself with the preset browser to access over 500 presets, including the original P5 and P10 factory patches. You can configure it in different ways, like having two independent synths or a single synth. The keyboard split or stacked layer modes let you play two layers at once. When using the step sequencer, define the length of each of the four monophonic sequences up to 128 steps and assign them to a layer. For the arpeggiator, sync it to the tempo and assign it to the layers. The effects chains offer various options like distortion, phaser, and reverb. Just select the mode and adjust the parameters. Regarding maintenance, keep your software up - to - date to ensure optimal performance. Make sure your computer meets the system requirements for smooth operation. If you encounter any issues, refer to the online documentation available directly from the instrument or in PDF format.
