Karanyi Sounds has introduced Minipol, a new software synthesizer, for Mac and Windows, that describe as “the swiss-army-knife of the analog sound.”
Features:
6 voice analog synthesizer with multiple effect and modulation capabilities
Factory Library with 300 professional presets for electronic music, scoring, and more
Sophisticated random control with 47 randomizable controls via Smart Random Bar
Here’s what they say about it:
“With a quality sound engine, straightforward design, and intuitive workflow, the Minipol synth lets you recreate classic analog keys, chunky 80s basses, kick-ass house stabs, or design massive soundscapes, modern plucks, or analog effects in no time.
You don’t need another CPU-hungry software synth. Or a plugin with hundreds of knobs, sliders, or switches. Minipol is super light on your CPU and comes with a handful of controls and effects your need to create great sounds! All these parts are designed to work great together – you will be surprised how far you can go from a simple patch. Need a giant soundscape for your soundtrack? A rumbling bassline for your house track? A vintage keyboard theme for your lo-fi track? You got it!”
Minipol is available now with an intro price of $29 , normal price $49
Cherry Audio shared this sneak preview of their next synth. Based on the video above, it seems that Cherry Audio is going to launch a plugin version of the Moog Memorymoog synth.
The three-oscillator Memorymoog offers six voices of polyphony, and is sometimes referred to as ‘six Minimoogs in one’ Each voice has its own 24dB voltage-controlled filter.
Cherry Audio now appears to be taking on what was one of the most powerful analogue polysynths of the early ‘80s, because over the past few months, the company has launched a series of vintage synth emulations like, the ARP 2600, Juno-106, Oberheim Eight Voice, Moog Polymoog and Korg MS-20 have all been given the software treatment.
This new virtual Memorymoog could be affordable, as all of Cherry Audio’s recent emulations cost less than $50, with introductory offers making them even cheaper.
Details are to be announced, but they say it will be available July 15, 2021.
