Plugin Boutique has introduced an exclusive deal on Cherry Audio’s virtual drum machine, faithfully replicating the impactful analog sounds of the renowned Roland CompuRhythm CR-78, one of the earliest classic drum machines.

The CR-78 Drum Machine includes all 34 original factory preset rhythms and “variation/fill-in” patterns.

Cherry Audio has simplified the intricate beat programming of the original version, replacing it with a user-friendly button-per-step interface, and integrating an intuitive song mode for seamless pattern chaining. Additionally, CR-78 boasts over 250 extra rhythm and sound presets, featuring unique categories that extend beyond the traditional CR-78 tones and patterns.

Distinct from sample-based emulations, Cherry Audio’s CR-78 employs modeled synthesis to replicate the authentic classic tones of the original, providing a panel with fully adjustable sound parameters. It offers four top-notch studio effects, each with a distinct send button UI for every individual tone in the effects and mixer section. This section also incorporates a comprehensive mixer, compressor, and a six-band graphic EQ.

Currently priced at $39 USD, reduced from $49 USD, this plugin is compatible with VST/VST3, AU, and AAX formats, and functions as standalone software for both Windows and Mac systems. The promotion expires on November 1st, 2024.
