Product Detail
The Cherry Audio Quadra offers a highly accurate and significantly improved virtual emulation of the 1978 - released ARP Quadra synthesizer, a rare gem in the synth world. Cherry Audio has enhanced every section to unlock the full potential of the original design. The Poly Synthesizer section gets an extra octave, oscillator drift, and new modulation features. The Lead Synthesizer has a more powerful arpeggiator and other improvements. The basic LFO is now a full - featured, tempo - syncable one. A flexible bender section allows independent pitch and filter cutoff control. The 14 - stage phaser is accurately modeled, and additional effects like chorus, flanger, echo, and reverb can be independently toggled for each section. It comes in a multiple - out version for maximum flexibility and includes over 450 presets crafted by an all - star team of sound designers. With features like drift control, independent key range assignment, and advanced UI, it's a high - performance synth with low CPU load, available in multiple formats.
Using the Cherry Audio Quadra is a breeze. First, choose your preferred format (AU, VST, VST3, AAX, or standalone) and install it on your system. Once installed, open it in your DAW. You can start by selecting one of the over 450 presets created by industry veterans. If you want to customize, each instrument section can be adjusted independently. You can layer different sections across the keyboard and use the transposition feature to change the pitch range. When using the effects, like the phaser, chorus, flanger, echo, or reverb, you can turn them on or off for each section separately to create unique sounds. For the arpeggiator, set the tempo to sync it with your music. Be aware that while the synth is highly optimized, using too many complex presets at once might increase the CPU load. To maintain it, keep your software up - to - date. And don't forget to save your custom presets so you don't lose them.
