Cherry Audio Release Sines Synthesizer

[rsaintjohn]

Cherry Audio is thrilled to announce Sines, a sensational and innovative polyphonic synthesizer utilizing diverse waveshaping to bend pure sine waveforms into infinitely variable and complex shapes and sounds. With four sine-wave oscillators, wide-ranging modulation capabilities, and integrated effects, Sines users can create a distinctive array of unique timbres ranging from the sublime to the sizzling.

The state-of-the-art Sines interface provides immediate access to all sound parameters and comes alive with illuminated indicators, color, and mini oscilloscopes, providing instant visual feedback. The primary sound design controls highlight the "four of everything" nature of Sines: four LFOs with 14 wave shapes, four oscillators, and four envelope generators. At the core of each section are unique sine-wave oscillator waveshaping controls: feedback, phase, width, shape, wavefold, and drive, along with a sub and super sine-wave oscillators. Phase modulation and ratio controls allow oscillators to be configured in modulator/carrier arrangements for four-op DX/FM-style synthesis.

Sines also features Cherry Audio's most extensive multimode filter to date, an arpeggio, a "best of" selection of Cherry Audio's finest acclaimed effects, a drift function, and an eight-band graphic EQ. Many controls include an adjacent mod source button, and an outrageously comprehensive four-slot mod matrix provides considerable modulation options for nearly every Sines parameter.

Sines includes all of Cherry Audio's exceptional touches, including polyphonic aftertouch, MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE), flexible MIDI mapping, and its industry-leading preset browser with a massive library of over 700 presets created by our elite team of sound artists. Altogether, Sines is the complete package for new frontiers in sound design and performance.

Cherry Audio always astonishes with unbelievably affordable prices, and Sines continues the tradition with a remarkably low price of only $39 (list $59), available now from cherryaudio.com and authorized resellers worldwide.

Sines is available in AU, VST, VST3, AAX, and standalone formats, for macOS and Windows. It includes native support for Apple's M1 processor and is already compatible with macOS 13 Ventura. A free 30-day demo is available. Visit cherryaudio.com for additional product details, system requirements, and an extensive collection of awe-inspiring sound demos.

An introductory video created by Tim Shoebridge for Cherry Audio dives deep into Sines to get users up and running with this remarkable new and original synthesizer.

This looks really cool. Gonna dive in soon.

Wonder if it can do anything that Opsix can't do. I guess I'll try it out.

For a second I thought that my eyes were just tired of the screen, but then I fell in love with these curves

Will definitely play with the demo!

This looks VERY cool from the video. GUI is cluttered, but easy to understand after watching the video. Downloading the demo now...

Powerful and deep synths used to get my interest……but these days I just look at this and think…..”too many knobs! Not enough time!”

It sounds amazing, but I am shocked about how CPU-heavy it is. A sine-based synth that doesn't involve analog modeling should not be taking 30% of my AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (16 GB RAM). OTOH, Opsix takes up 10%.

This is by far one of the worst GUI designs I've ever seen. It literally makes me ill.

Really nice synth! Sounds really good and unique. I don't mind the GUI. I was working on a patch and it was fine for my eyes and brain. Vote with your wallet. I picked it up on JRR with a discount.

This has been my problem with other Cherry Audio synths, I do like them! but very heavy CPU in comparison to other synths.

Yep! To me, they stop looking like knobs when there's that many. Just a bunch of uniformly placed circles.

Not sure about the GUI, but I'm liking the sounds of the demo video a lot. Will definitely give it a whirl.

Yeah the waves gave me motion sickness.

Cannot get past the overly cluttered GUI, it makes it unusable. It's also really hard to read the text, even when its full screen.
