Number 20 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 20, we try out 60 presets from the Cherry Audio ESQ-1, which they describe as "a landmark virtual synthesizer that captures the essence and iconic sounds of the classic ESQ-1 polyphonic hybrid digital/analog synthesizer, perfectly timed for celebration of its 40th anniversary."
