Wow, the oversampling option is also very welcome…

Thanks, Dan, and congrats! Any ETA on Voltage Modular?

Also Mercury 4, and Stardust 201 Tape Echo.

Mercury-4 1.2.0 has also been released with M1 compatibility. Stardust 201 was already M1 compatible.

Voltage Modular will be M1-native by the end of the year, but I don't have a release date for that yet.

Thanks!

Great news, thanks! Now that I have all the Cherry plugins, it's quite tedious to manually download and run 8 separate installers. Sometimes the plugins update themselves, but I guess that wasn't possible in this case. Assuming the collection will continue to grow at a fast pace, it would be nice to eventually have a plugin manager for this. I know some people hate those (so you could continue to offer separate downloads), but IMO it's a much better experience than manually installing individual updates.

That's great news. Thanks for the heads up.

Yes, same here. I have all of their synths and it would be convenient to just update everything from an app instead of individually downloading each plugin and installing.

Not only does Cherry Audio give us a bunch of retro synths, they also take us back to the 90s of computing when every software installation assumed we wanted icons on the desktop!

the over sampling really makes these shine! hands down these are the best new synths i own, and man they are dirt cheap... Saved me from dumping tons of money on a take 5... Thank you cherry audio.. Unison mercury 4 is a thing of beauty.

Some patches in the new ARM version VST, for instance PS-20, show a lot of spikes in the CPU load in my Bitwig 4.04.
The CPU load is effectively worse then with the X64 version in Komplete Kontrol in Bitwig. All at the normal sample rate.
4x oversampling give crackling with these patches with just one instance loaded.
I do not know what is causing this. Maybe it is more of a Bitwig 4.04 problem.

or maybe at least make the in vst download link download it immediately. IE Windows version downloads Windows update. Mac do Mac.
If routing to the webpage is the goal, to serve up ADs, I use adblocker anyway and never get ads.

I get snap crackle at 4x sometimes too, so I use 2x and its good enough to me

It adds the icon only if you select Standalone (along with VST or whatever other choices) during the install.
