The Cherry Audio Dreamsynth is a virtual synthesizer based on the sound engines from analog/digital hybrid synthesizers from the mid to late 1980s, including the Ensoniq ESQ-1, the Sequential Prophet VS, and the Kawai K series. Many of these hybrid synths featured an irresistible combination of precisely controlled digital oscillators with the powerful sound-sculpting capabilities of analog filtering, and the Dreamsynth recreates those distinct vintage tonalities with aplomb.

The 3 dual-waveform oscillators effectively function as 6 oscillators and provide a wealth of authentic analog-sounding waveforms along with 430 sampled PCM waveforms. In addition, a fully polyphonic string synthesizer is also onboard; it's completely independent from the oscillator-based synth, allowing you to layer and split it across the keyboard. A wealth of FX is also supplied, allowing you to further tweak the sound with distortion, phasing, flanging, chorus, delay, and reverb.
