midinut Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Hey all. Anyone heard anything yet. Unless I got the date wrong weren't they supposed to announce a new release today? According to the teaser it looks like an ARP Quadra (but I don't know). Been checking their website and Facebook page all morning and still nothing. I'm like a kid trying to go to sleep on Christmas Eve. lol Quote Hardware: Yamaha: MODX7 | Korg: Kronos 88, Wavestate | ASM: Hydrasynth Deluxe | Roland: Jupiter-Xm, Cloud Pro, TD-9K V-Drums | Alesis: StrikePad Pro| Behringer: Crave, Poly D, XR-18, RX1602 | CPS: SpaceStation SSv2 | Controllers: ROLI RISE 49 | Arturia KeyLab Essentials 88, KeyLab 61, MiniLab | M-Audio KeyStation 88 & 49 | Akai EWI USB | Novation LaunchPad Mini, | Guitars & Such: Line 6 Variax, Helix LT, POD X3 Live, Martin Acoustic, DG Strat Copy, LP Sunburst Copy, Natural Tele Copy| Squier Precision 5-String Bass | Mandolin | Banjo | Ukulele Software: Recording: MacBook Pro | Mac Mini | Logic Pro X | Mainstage | Cubase Pro 12 | Ableton Live 11 | Monitors: M-Audio BX8 | Presonus Eris 3.5BT Monitors | Slate Digital VSX Headphones & ML-1 Mic | Behringer XR-18 & RX1602 Mixers | Beyerdynamics DT-770 & DT-240 Arturia: V-Collection 9 | Native Instruments: Komplete 1 Standard | Spectrasonics: Omnisphere 2, Keyscape, Trilian | Korg: Legacy Collection 4 | Roland: Cloud Pro | GForce: Most all of their plugins | u-he: Diva, Hive 2, Repro, Zebra Legacy | AAS: Most of their VSTs | IK Multimedia: SampleTank 4 Max, Sonik Synth, MODO Drums & Bass | Cherry Audio: Most of their VSTs | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnchop Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Looking forward to digging in over the break. Should be delightfully weird, like the Korg Trident.

David Emm Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I'm a Cherry Audio fan who is greatly amused to see this particular beast appear. I never kept up with ARP after my early use of a 2600 and their Sequencer, but the form of the Quadra was tantalizing. The one thing I'd love to see feels almost unreasonable for what is basically a stabilized vintage item with better effects: user WAV drop-in. That would violate the purity and no doubt have cost far more to implement. I just like the idea of being able to expand on it with a User bank per section. That would greatly enhance its powers. My blarney aside, the demos I've heard seem pretty accurate, much like the Mercury-4's. I get a good whiff of Tony Banks in a few. I've had some of the more popular synths as hardware, so I know how it feels when they go south. All of this modern stability is spoiling me. Quote "I like that rapper with the bullet in his nose!"

analogman1 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Picked it up, couldnt resist. That, and Animoog Z. Why not?

I hate knobs, I'd love a synth without knobs. My primary MIDI trigger is a Fishman Triple Play pickup on a Tele, I do have a keyboard but I am not good at keys. At $40 I'm interested. Cherry Hill has some nice stuff. Quote It took a chunk of my life to get here and I am still not sure where "here" is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Grace Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 The Quadra is also included in a 10-synth pack that's currently on sale for $199 (normally $299). The cost is even lower for those who have already have some of the products in the bundle.

Make sure to log in to see your price: Cherry Audio Synth Stack 2 Best, Geoff Yeah I got that notification about the 10-Synth Pack too. Only problem is I had already drank their Kool-Aid! I went ahead and grabbed the Quadra but have all the other instruments. I also stuck my toe in the virtual modular "rabbit hole" and picked up their Voltage Modular Core+ along with the ARP 2500 and Moog VM900 collections. That should keep me busy. I'll see you guys in about six months! lol Quote Hardware: Yamaha: MODX7 | Korg: Kronos 88, Wavestate | ASM: Hydrasynth Deluxe | Roland: Jupiter-Xm, Cloud Pro, TD-9K V-Drums | Alesis: StrikePad Pro| Behringer: Crave, Poly D, XR-18, RX1602 | CPS: SpaceStation SSv2 | Controllers: ROLI RISE 49 | Arturia KeyLab Essentials 88, KeyLab 61, MiniLab | M-Audio KeyStation 88 & 49 | Akai EWI USB | Novation LaunchPad Mini, | Guitars & Such: Line 6 Variax, Helix LT, POD X3 Live, Martin Acoustic, DG Strat Copy, LP Sunburst Copy, Natural Tele Copy| Squier Precision 5-String Bass | Mandolin | Banjo | Ukulele Software: Recording: MacBook Pro | Mac Mini | Logic Pro X | Mainstage | Cubase Pro 12 | Ableton Live 11 | Monitors: M-Audio BX8 | Presonus Eris 3.5BT Monitors | Slate Digital VSX Headphones & ML-1 Mic | Behringer XR-18 & RX1602 Mixers | Beyerdynamics DT-770 & DT-240 Arturia: V-Collection 9 | Native Instruments: Komplete 1 Standard | Spectrasonics: Omnisphere 2, Keyscape, Trilian | Korg: Legacy Collection 4 | Roland: Cloud Pro | GForce: Most all of their plugins | u-he: Diva, Hive 2, Repro, Zebra Legacy | AAS: Most of their VSTs | IK Multimedia: SampleTank 4 Max, Sonik Synth, MODO Drums & Bass | Cherry Audio: Most of their VSTs | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KuruPrionz Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Just installed it, the manual shows that is a mouse friendly array of buttons and sliders. My Fishman Triple Play does not have much in the way of assignable controller knobs and "knobs" on plugins are not friendly at all. Looks like fun, the sound files sounded good.
