The Cherry Audio Quadra is a super-accurate and immensely improved emulation of the ARP Quadra synthesizer
originally released in 1978 - a rare and coveted βunicornβ instrument in the synthesizer world
reproduced for the first time as a virtual instrument.
We've addressed the original Quadra's shortcomings and wildly expanded it for an experience that blows away the real thing in every conceivable way. Each of its four sections is independently assignable to any region of the keyboard for endless splitting and layering flexibility. The awkward patch storage has been replaced with Cherry Audioβs extensive
unlimited patch browsing system. The overall sound quality has been improved for a richer and fatter tone. And not only did we make a killer emulation of the aforementioned onboard phaser effect
we added a stereo chorus/flanger
a syncable echo
and studio-quality reverb - all individually routable for unprecedented effects flexibility.
