Cherry Audio's CA2600 is available NOW!

[dnazen]

Since this thread seems quite active and folks here seem knowledgeable, a few posts above the ability to send other tracks into the CA2600 to be processed a la the "Who Are You" effect was mentioned. I have been trying to do this in Studio One bust can't figure out how to do it. I have had several back and forths with PreSonus support about it but they have been less than useless so far. I also tried asking on the Studio One reddit but nothing helpful there yet either. If anyone knows how to do this PLEASE explain it to me because this is driving me crazy. Thanks

afaik CA 2600 is not available as a vst effect , at least not over here

Hi there,

The cherry audio spike is the fake resonance peak , just look at it's amplitude .
Cherry audio dev’s are not present on this forum , cherrry dave is just the spokesman .

Thanks for your interest in our products. I can assure you that we are as interested in getting these details right as you are in analyzing what we've built, and I commend you for your dedication to this issue.

There was indeed a small math issue in the CA2600's filter code that caused the weird resonance peak that you observed. Sonically it was correct but the filter was not behaving as it should. We've just published CA2600 Build 86, which will automatically update the next time you run CA2600 (unless you've turned off automatic updates). Build 86 features improved filter code that correctly self-oscillates.

Please let us know how Build 86 works for you!

Thanks,
- Dan @ Cherry Audio

P.S. We don't have a Dave, or a spokesman.

Filter code is updated , funky spike is gone but the filter is not stellar sounding , it sounds pretty horrible at high reso settings
Well , that 's all folks !

[gentleclockdivider]

Nice ,update overwrites saved presets

Studio One is a bitch with the way it separates instrument and audio tracks. I'm not actually sure if it is possible because as soon as you try to add CA2600 to an audio track it creates an instrument track for CA2600 to live in. The solution - admittedly not great - may be to ask CherryDan if they could compile an 'FX' version of CA2600 so it can be added to an audio track.

I've had issues in the past with Studio One and it has big issues with routing on 'hybrid' instruments like this and it's horrible with the way it handles MIDI effect plugins too.

If you want to just tinker with something then I know it will work with Reaper so download and use that just to get an idea of how it works then apply it to Studio One as and when an FX version of the plugin is available. They have made an FX version of Voltage Modular so they know how to create that sort of a build.

Edit: FYI I have raised this as a request on the Cherry Audio forum.

Nasty spikes when filter frequency is set to 10Khz and high res , there are spikes @6kz , 14Khz , etc..
It sounds absolutly horrible , more like vst from the early 2000

Self osc.filter , no osc's enabled in mixer

Is there absolutly nobody on the team that checks these things out before making bold claims like áuthentic emulation ,

I have a question about the filter peak - how does it sound? I have less than no interest in how it looks but how it sounds is really important. If it sounds good, great. If it doesn't, move on.

[BONES]

Well yeah, there's 'that'. It's 64-bit, but uses that jbridge thingy for 32-bit. {assuming you're asking about the Unify app}.

No, I was giving Dave (Anx) a hard time because he's still running Windows XP or something equally ancient.

I don't own it as I have more than enough 'host' options, though I'm tending more and more to prefer stand alone synths, (including Reaktor/Kontakt/Voltage Modular as 'stand alone') usually run through shit-tons of effects on a networked machine, which I record {dry and effected} on a third. They are all fairly old (OC'd Phenom II Black's, and an Fx-8350) but work well enough with this config, using dedicated controllers.

Yeah, I try to avoid using effects as much as possible. But I was playing around with the demo for CA2600 last night and, whilst it is quite nice, I don't think it brings anything to the table that I don't already have well and truly covered. It was kind of fun to play with it standalone, though, something I haven't done much of in a while, even though more than a dozen softsynths I own have a standalone version. For $25 I will probably buy it anyway but I'm not sure it will see much use.

Some of the duophonic behaviour seems a bit strange. If you hold down one note, then momentarily press another key, it keeps sounding until you release the first note. It didn't seem to do that all the time, though, so it might be a setting somewhere.

There is also a sad bag that always downvotes my posts , I consider him/her my personal groupie

Why do you even look? I honestly couldn't tell you if anything I've posted has ever had an up or down vote. I'd never even think to look at that shit, which is a bit dumb on my part, because I do up and down vote other people's posts now and then.

Not sure if you're referring to the aliasing or the fact that you're getting filter self-oscillation with muted oscillators (which is normal).

I have VoltageModular and aliasing isn't dealt too well with at 44.1
At 48 it already changes a lot, at least here on my sysytem.
Similar story with this CA2600 demo (haven't tried the DCO-106).

Win7 64bit actually

My goodness, you have come up in the world.

[AnX]

had it for ten years, not planning on upgrading till my pc dies (also 10 years old)

Dan, is it just CA2600 problem? Or SynthVoice module also has a bug and will be fixed?
