{"product_id":"cherry-audio-pentaphonic","title":"Cherry Audio - Pentaphonic","description":"\u003cp\u003ePentaphonic is Cherry Audio's recreation of the 1981 Gleeman Pentaphonic, a five-voice DCO polysynth with a built-in sequencer, of which fewer than 70 were made. It's for warm, characterful pads, stepped sequences and leftfield poly sounds in electronic, ambient and synthwave production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe architecture\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original's DCOs produced unusual stair-stepped waveforms, including two complex waves, narrow pulses, ramp, triangle and sine, through an analogue filter, with a fast and slow chorus. Cherry Audio keeps all of that and adds a third oscillator, sync and PWM, a second LFO, 12 and 24dB filter options, velocity, and mono, unison and poly modes up to 16 voices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThick and slightly gritty, with a stepped digital edge to the waveforms that sets it apart from smoother analogue polys. A 16x4 polyphonic step sequencer and a Parameter Animator, which sequences cutoff, resonance, pitch mod and oscillator levels, give it plenty of movement. Three UI themes are based on the original's different cases. Over 375 presets, including the original 50 factory patches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecreation of the 1981 Gleeman Pentaphonic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree DCOs per voice with the original stair-stepped waveforms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOscillator sync and PWM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12dB and 24dB filter options\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMono, unison and 2 to 16-voice poly modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16x4 polyphonic step sequencer and Parameter Animator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArpeggiator and aftertouch control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal fast\/slow chorus plus 22 effects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree UI themes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 375 presets, including the original 50 factory patches\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 1.0.6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMac:\u003c\/strong\u003e macOS 10.13 or later, native on Apple Silicon.
