Miniverse

The Big Bang of Synths

Miniverse is a painstaking virtual emulation of perhaps the best-known and loved analog synthesizer ever made. Though its innards aren’t identical, it shares the thick, juicy, "fat" analog sound that remains unchallenged 50 years later! It set the standard for future synthesizers, inspired whole new genres of music, and defined the sound of artists as diverse as Kraftwerk, Herbie Hancock, Rick Wakeman, Pink Floyd, Parliament, and Gary Numan, and countless others.

And now, with Cherry Audio Miniverse, it's your turn!

Miniverse was conceived as the ultimate tribute to an original instrument. Cherry Audio focused on a single principle: absolute authenticity. In association with DSP master and frequent collaborator Mark Barton (MRB), Cherry Audio studied and measured every nuance, every curve, and every response of the audio. Even the Miniverse interface is a meticulous recreation, from the maple cabinet and textured surface to the unmistakable knobs and switches. Cherry Audio avoided the temptation to add extra features, such as additional LFOs or effects, which might distract from the spirit and vibe. Instead, Miniverse portrays the pure, raw, powerful sound and feel of the classic original.

All About the Sound

Whether you're seeking monstrous leads, funky basslines, or warm atmospheric pads, Miniverse has you covered. In fact, the resulting tones are so mighty that Cherry Audio could not resist adding one particular enhancement. If one classic synth voice isn't enough, Cherry Audio made it easy to dial in two, four, eight, or sixteen polyphonic voices guaranteed to bring the house down. Need outstanding sounds even faster? Miniverse includes a library of over 250 presets created by pro professional sound designers. Brass, keys, percussion, sound effects, and even MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) presets and, of course, signature earthshaking basses and leads are just a click away.

Preset MIDI Mapping

Speaking of presets, by popular demand, Cherry Audio added an important feature to Miniverse: the ability to save custom MIDI controller mappings to individual presets or globally (or both!).
