Cherry Audio MG-1 Plus (seems to be based on Moog Concertmate) - Currently available free from PluginBoutique

[WasteLand]

cheers, got it installed now. And it didn't wipe my plugins directory which is nice.

yes the first error they made, i never have experienced it myself, i had the demo.. but i saw the problem before it updated, it was by the way only under certain circumstances. but an error that big..

First impression - sounds OK, pretty basic synth really. One cool quirky feature is there's a separate poly mix from the mono one and you can set up a portamento/glide that only affects the mono source over a stable poly pad sound. The poly has that fizzy octave divider sound a bit like on classic string synths. Glad it's free because I doubt I'd feel it worth paying for this synth.

as genteclockdivider already mentioned. cherry audio, i think you have also voltage modular, or am i wrong? i work a lot, a lot with voltage modular. (and have other soft modulars, and reason with noise engineering..) so i like it. the 48KHz bug is still around, doesn't bother me, 48Khz is the rate i work with in all projects, all samples etc. so no SRC problems. but still some modules have problems, and there is o well...

i am wondering what is happening. to be as open, and non-judgmental as possible...

but as always, personal choices, or experiences (not what gentleclockdivider has supplied to cherry audio as a "tester").

I don't really understand why anyone would work at anything other than 24 bit 48 kHz tbh unless it's not supported by their interface.

me too, in a way, but people have their own way of working. 24 bit/48Khz, from the beginning, because of the soundcard (and the second one also).. a nice comprimise in sample rate, higher sample rate is doubtfull (oversampling seems a better option, but a discussion, i am nó expert, it seems very plausible), and bit depth. even my small and simple field recorder, a tascam DR-05, i set to 24/48Khz (and always stereo? yes with a question mark. sometimes it isn't meaningfull.. o well..)

EDIT:

the link is dead now. too soon, timezones!! or something else..

Cherry Audio seem to release things in the morning based on US Pacific Time. I wonder if they've asked that the PB link be unpublished until the release is advertised on their site.

this is the second reseller that came too soon. jrrshop with synth pack. and now MG-1. perhaps the free giveaway, was valid. but indeed cherry audio is california based.

timezones!

(and i had just a strange experience with my desktop that freezed, and rebooted in a very strange way. all works fine. sometimes, i think it is the receiver for my wireless keyboard and mouse, it can be small thing.. i hope it is working alright now... i have 2 hubs, so many things connected..
drives seem to be ok, memory didn't check it. why i am saying this now?? or telling this here???
self-built system, so i can troubleshoot it myself. but i don't want to!! a glitch...)

i think they have asked it, i mentioned it also on the facebook group.. or pluginboutique themselves.. o well... i have the code, you have the code..

strange.. i think i leave my desktop and will go to my laptop, do to, yes what, editing... but not music, or video or...-

PSF Kontakt libraries I use come in 24/96, so I switched to 24/96 and haven't looked back since.

I think Orange Tree released Rhodes this year in 24/96 as well. I hope more developers make the switch.

Because most of the software I use runs perfectly at 44Khz , reaktor blocks (might update sample rate when using primary ) , talmod ,zebra
The osc sync issue in ca 2600 is independent from sample rate (happens always) , this is the answer I got from cherry audio regarding osc-sync aliasing
question : Will it be fixed

Hi,

Not sure. I passed your comments along to them. I suspect that your definition of "horrible aliasing" and theirs might differ.

But as you might already know, we're always looking to improve our software, as evidenced to our response to your earlier comments on a couple of other issues.

If this is not horrible aliasing ? , ca2600 followed by a clean TALmod

p.s. I don't want to derail the thread .

derail it! because it is not about, serum is better than falcon, i don't like falcon, because it has a knob..

this about in depth approach to how a soft synths sounds and how cherry audio reacts.

and, on gearslutz, well (Relevator there, i am), you know that i work with voltage modular, and i like it. also work with reaktor, softube modular. but still their are issues... with voltage modular (and with softube modular, but they act on it, although a bit slow, too slow... but it works... the sound is excellent, as with reaktor)

this is about arguments, based on analysis, about that you liked the product, or wanted to like it.. so o well, i think quite a few people have followed it..

off topic; back also on SF you, i saw? (het gezellige forum)

I've got the hardware, lets do a shootout! Oh wait, the hardware hasn't worked in years. Software wins?

Did you try this one yet?

Only if the software accurately emulates the foam inside that decomposes over time.
