Number 19 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 19, we try out 60 presets from the Cherry Audio CRUMAR DS-2, which they describe as: "faithfully replicates the unique digital/analog sound of the ahead-of-its-time hardware synth from 1978 [which] not only captures the distinctive tone and multitimbral capabilities of the original but also enhances them, offering an impressive combination of innovation and authenticity."
