{"product_id":"cherry-audio-lowdown","title":"Cherry Audio - Lowdown","description":"\u003cp\u003eLowdown is Cherry Audio's emulation of the most famous dual-oscillator bass pedal synth of the 1970s, for room-rattling bass and drones in prog, rock, new wave and cinematic music, now played from a keyboard rather than your feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original used Hz-per-volt oscillator scaling rather than the usual volt-per-octave. That keeps the beating between its two oscillators constant across the range, so detuned notes stay thick without phasing out, and it's a big part of why the sound is so solid. Mark Barton (MRB) modelled the oscillators and the ladder filter from the original, and Cherry Audio has made it playable from any MIDI controller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnormous. This is the sound heard on Rush, Genesis and The Police records: a low end you feel as much as hear, with a warm ladder filter for slow sweeps. It does one job, and does it very well. With around 40 presets and a simple panel, it's not a general-purpose synth, but as a dedicated low-end and drone machine it's bang for buck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual constant-beat oscillators with Hz-per-volt scaling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModelled ladder filter by Mark Barton (MRB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayable from any keyboard or MIDI controller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAround 40 presets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull MIDI control and DAW automation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSystem requirements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVersion:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.4.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMac:\u003c\/strong\u003e macOS 10.13 or later, native on Apple Silicon.
