Cherry Audio Memorymode 2

Memorymode 2 Highlights and Features

• The ultimate Memorymoog emulation, reengineered by Cherry Audio with its latest comprehensive circuit and behavior modeling techniques to provide unparalleled accuracy to -- and exclusive compatibility with -- the original hardware
• Highly optimized, massive dual-layer voicing architecture with 16 polyphonic voices per layer. Keyboard split and stacked layer modes allow two simultaneously playable layers, with separate per-layer controls for all parameters, including synthesis, modulation, patterns, and effects
• Newly remodeled three-oscillator voice architecture with ramp, triangle, and variable-width pulse waves, with noise and oscillator sync
• Precisely recreated ladder filter with selectable 12- and 24-dB/octave slopes
• Modern button for beefy lows and crystalline highs
• New optional Emphasis Compensation switch to maintain sound level and low-frequency weight as emphasis is increased.
• Two full ADSR envelopes per layer with velocity, independently assignable to filter, amp, and modulation for expressive control and dynamic sound shaping
• Two tempo-syncable LFOs for each layer with seven waveforms, with reset option
• Two voice modulation panels per layer using oscillator 3 and filter envelope as modulation sources, with up to six simultaneous destinations
• Analog drift control for increased analog realism
• Mono and Unison modes with note priority, Polyphonic modes with voice cycling, and single-key Chord Memory assign mode
• Enhanced performance capabilities through polyphonic aftertouch and MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE)
• Multi-voice mode with presets and adjustable trimmers to provide subtle or extreme voice variation in pitch, panning, filter, and envelopes to tones and patterns
• "Digital display" interface with before/after parameter values, and display of extended settings such as number of voices, trigger and note priority, unison voices, multi-voice modes, condition, and drift
• Over 800 sensational presets by sound design pros, including the Memorymode version 1 presets and precise recreations of the 100 original Memorymoog factory patches, all accessible in the newly redesigned preset browser. 
• Comprehensive Touch modulation matrix with four slots and simple click-to-assign functionality with 52 destinations, with optional MPE assignment for Velocity, X, Y, and Z expression
• Syncable and transposable arpeggiator for each layer with Arp, Leap, Order, and Random modes, and Swing, Chance, and Feel to add degrees of randomness to arpeggiated patterns
• Syncable and transposable 16x4 polyphonic step sequencer for each layer with Start, Stop, Auto Start, and humanize options, with accurate DAW clock and step synchronization
• Touch Animator, an additional per-layer sequencer that acts as a 16-step x 4-pattern modulation source, varying the amount of modulation applied by the four Touch modulation slots
• Three independent customizable chains of effects, one for each layer plus a global layer, with an individual effects modulator for each layer
• 22 studio-quality effects that can be arranged, saved, and recalled within their effects chains: BBD Flanger, Compressor, DCO Chorus, Digital Delay, Digital Reverb, Distortion & EQ, Dual Delay, Dual Ensemble, Dual Phaser, Envelope Filter, Flanger & Chorus, Galactic Reverb, Lo-Fi, Lushverb (improved!), Panner, Pulser, Ring Modulator, Seven Band EQ, Spring Reverb (improved!), and Tape Echo. New in Memorymode 2 are Wide Phaser (the updated Phaser effect from the original Memorymode) and Rotary Speaker.
• Effects control tray for on/off, solo, bipolar modulator amount slider, and dry/wet mix for each effect. Global FX on/off, level, and stereo expand
• Utility panels to easily copy, paste, swap, and move layers, effects chains, and sequencer data between presets
• Tape Data Import: Import 100-program Memorymoog cassette tape data backups made with the original Chroma (uncompressed .wav files, mono/stereo, any sample rate or bit depth)
• Directly import original Memorymoog patch bank SysEx data (Lintronics Advanced Memorymoog format) via drag-and-drop
• Standalone virtual instrument and plug-in versions included
• User-adjustable oversampling control
• Complete MIDI control and DAW automation for all controls, with easy-to-use MIDI learn and mapping (Preset and Global)
• Cherry Audio's popular Focus zoom-in feature, as well as standard UI zoom and resize via drag
• Complete documentation available directly online from the instrument or in downloadable PDF format
