Cherry Audio CR-78 Drum Machine. Cherry Audio's CR-78 is a powerful virtual recreation of the iconic CompuRhythm CR-78, the first programmable and microprocessor-controlled analog drum machine. It goes beyond simple emulation, offering a user-friendly interface and a vast array of features. Key Features: Authentic Sounds: Accurately recreates all 34 original factory presets and variations, using modeled synthesis for fully editable tones. Modern Workflow: Replaces the original's complex programming with a familiar X0X-style button-per-step interface and an easy-to-use song mode for pattern chaining. Extensive Presets: Includes over 250 additional rhythm and sound presets, expanding beyond the classic CR-78 sounds. Deep Sound Editing: Edit individual drum sounds with the Voice Edit panel for subtle or drastic changes. Flexible Pattern Creation: Program patterns with 16 or 24 steps, use copy/paste functions, and adjust swing for rhythmic variations. Individual Sound Addressing: Unlike the original, all sounds are independently addressable in user patterns. Song Mode: Create complex arrangements with up to 99 patterns and 99 steps per song. External MIDI Control: Trigger sounds with velocity sensitivity and user-assignable note mapping. Studio-Quality Effects: Apply overdrive, flanger, delay, and gated reverb to individual instruments with a convenient "send button" system. Comprehensive Mixer: Adjust level, pan, solo/mute for each instrument, and use a compressor and six-band graphic EQ. Drag-Export: Easily convert patterns to DAW MIDI tracks or Standard MIDI Files. Standalone and Plugin Versions: Available in AU, VST, VST3, AAX, and standalone formats. Advanced Features: User-adjustable oversampling, complete MIDI control and DAW automation, zoom functionality, and online/downloadable documentation.
