Cherry Audio’s Sines Synthesizer is a sensational and innovative original polyphonic synthesizer. Employing four sine-wave oscillators, Sines utilizes diverse waveshaping methods to bend these basic waves into infinitely variable and complex shapes. When combined with its wide-ranging modulation capabilities and effects, users can create a diverse array of unique timbres ranging from the sublime to sizzling. The state-of-the-art Sines interface provides immediate hands-on access to all sound parameters. It comes alive with illuminated indicators, color, and mini oscilloscopes, providing instant visual feedback. The primary sound design controls are grouped horizontally in bands emphasizing its "four of everything" nature: four LFOs, four oscillators and four envelope generators. At the core of each section are the unique sine-wave oscillator waveshaping controls: feedback, phase, width, shape, wavefold and drive, along with a sub (octave-down) oscillator and a super (octave-up) oscillator. Phase modulation and ratio dials allow the oscillators to be configured in a modulator/carrier arrangement for four-op DX/FM-style synthesis. But these dangerous curves are just the beginning. Sines features Cherry Audio's most extensive multimode filter to date, four LFOs with 14 wave shapes, four envelope generators, an arpeggio, a "best of" selection of Cherry Audio's finest acclaimed effects, a drift function and an integrated eight-band graphic EQ. Many controls include an adjacent mod source button, and an outrageously comprehensive four-slot mod matrix provides numerous modulation options for nearly every Sines parameter.

  • Four independent sine waveform oscillators, with waveshaping controls to bend the basic waves into other standard waves (sawtooth, square, pulse, triangle) and more complex and novel shapes
  • Six waveshaper controls: feedback, phase, width, shape, wavefold and drive, each with modulation source assignments available
  • Sub (octave-down sine wave) oscillator and a super oscillator (octave-up sine wave) for each oscillator
  • Oscillator utility function to copy/paste, randomize or reset any oscillator settings
  • Glide (portamento) and keyboard (pitch) controls independently enabled for each oscillator
  • Up to 16-voice polyphony
  • Polyphonic (two modes), chord memory, single voice and unison with unison detune
  • Resonant multimode filter with 6, 12, 18 or 24 dB/oct lowpass, highpass, bandpass or notch modes
  • Four tempo-syncable LFOs with 14 waveforms: sine, triangle, sawtooth, sawtooth, exponential sawtooth, logarithmic sawtooth, three-step sawtooth, four-step ramp, exponential ramp, logarithmic ramp, three-step ramp and four-step square random
