Number 18 in a series as we break away from traditional hardware synthesizers, and play around with a sampling of Soft-Synths made by Cherry Audio. In part 18, we try out 40 presets from the Cherry Audio SH-MAX, which they describe as a "unique blend of three remarkable [Roland] SH-series synthesizers from the 1970s: the SH-5, SH-7, and SH-3A" with added features.
