Cherry Audio CR-78 Drum Machine [Virtual]

Step back in time to 1978. Roland unleashed the groundbreaking CompuRhythm CR-78, a programmable analog beatbox that revolutionized music. Now, Cherry Audio introduces the CR-78 virtual drum machine, faithfully recreating and expanding upon the original's iconic sounds and beats. With over 250 additional presets and intuitive pattern creation features like X0X-style sequencing and real-time entry, the CR-78 offers endless creative possibilities. Whether used standalone or as a plugin, it boasts DAW-friendly functionalities like auto-sync, drag-and-drop MIDI export, and individual outs. Cherry Audio's CR-78 utilizes modeled synthesis for authentic tones and offers extensive instrument editing via the Voice Edit panel. The Effects/Mixer panel provides studio-quality effects and comprehensive mixing options, including a master compressor and graphic EQ. Immerse yourself inside the box to create the ultimate outside-the-box experience with the Cherry Audio CR-78.
