{"product_id":"cherry-audio-pro-soloist","title":"Cherry Audio - Pro Soloist","description":"\u003cp\u003ePro Soloist is Cherry Audio's emulation of ARP's 1972 Pro Soloist, a preset monosynth made famous in prog rock, rebuilt as a fully programmable polyphonic synth for expressive leads, brass and woodwind tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe approach\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original had 30 fixed presets selected with paddles and no way to programme your own. Mark Barton (MRB) modelled the underlying circuit, and Cherry Audio then opened up every parameter: VCO with a fatter Super Wave option, 24dB\/oct filter, resonant high-pass, a five-band resonator bank, envelopes, LFO and the distinctive Growl modulator. The 30 original presets are still there on the paddles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVocal and expressive. The resonator bank gives it a formant-like, instrument-ish quality, and the touch controls for volume, brilliance and portamento reward playing with aftertouch. Dual layers with 16 voices each, a mod matrix, arpeggiator and 12 effects take it far beyond the original's role as an organ-top add-on. Great for prog-style leads, and surprisingly good at pads too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePro Soloist emulation modelled by Mark Barton (MRB), fully programmable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll 30 original presets on the paddles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual layers with 16 voices each, split or stacked\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive-band resonator bank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTouch Sensor controls for volume, brilliance and portamento\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix-slot mod matrix, 22 sources and 58 destinations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArpeggiator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 effects including distortion, phaser, flanger, delays and reverbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 400 presets\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 1.0.4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMac:\u003c\/strong\u003e macOS 10.13 or later, native on Apple Silicon.
