Cherry Audio GX-80

The Cherry Audio GX-80 is a transformative virtual synthesizer that merges the iconic sound of the GX-1 and CS-80 synthesizers. Award-winning designer Mark Barton meticulously crafted the GX-80’s DSP circuitry, resulting in the most authentic emulation of these legendary instruments available.

Beyond Replication: A Powerful Hybrid

The GX-80 goes beyond simply replicating the CS-80. It cleverly integrates the GX-1’s distinct features, most notably its massive dual-layer architecture. This effectively provides two CS-80s in one, along with unique sonic possibilities. The GX-1’s high-frequency resonant pulses, band sawtooth waves, and filter envelope inversion unlock a world of sonic experimentation. Additionally, the GX-80 faithfully reproduces the legendary GX-1 filter, delivering tones unmatched by the CS-80 itself.

Dual-Layer Architecture for Unparalleled Sound Design

The GX-80 boasts an impressive dual-layer architecture with a staggering 16 polyphonic voices per layer. This allows you to create complex layered sounds and rich stereo tones by playing two distinct CS-80-style patches simultaneously, with independent panning for each layer. For maximum flexibility and expression, the GX-80 features a split keyboard mode and the ability to simulate polyphonic aftertouch using a monophonic aftertouch controller.

Over 1,000 Presets and Studio-Grade Effects

The GX-80 comes loaded with over 1,000 presets and studio-grade effects, letting you create exceptional sounds instantly.
