Cherry Audio Rackmode Signal Processors Moog Effects Plugin
Rackmode Signal Processors Making Sound Effective A Monument of Sound Rackmode Signal Processors is a bundle of seven virtual effects and an instrument plugin that replicate the cl assic rack-mounted Moog Signal Processors of the 1970s and ‘80s. This exclusive collection is the first time this entire line of renowned analog treasures has been recreated as virtual effects. Rackmode also marks our latest collaboration with award-winning synth designer and DSP legend Mark Barton (MRB), who modeled the circuit-precise emulations based on the original rack-mounted hardware. The collection includes: Rackmode Vocoder (instrument and effects versions) Rackmode Phaser Rackmode Ring Modulator Rackmode String Filter Rackmode Frequency Shifter Rackmode Graphic EQ Rackmode Parametric EQ We have expanded these awe-inspiring vintage effects with additional features aimed at today's music producers, including presets, syncable LFOs, stereo processing, and full Apple Silicon M1 native support. And speaking of authenticity, these effects capture not only the deep sounds and capabilities of the original Signal Processor line, but also the elegant look and heritage of their rack-mounted enclosures. A Stack of Historic Proportions In the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, Moog Music Inc., (then owned by Norlin Music, Inc.) wanted to extend their reach further into the production studio. They created the Signal Processor family of rack-mounted products featuring the 16 Channel Vocoder (designed by pioneer Harald Bode), the 12 Stage Phaser, and the Ten Band Graphic and Three Band Parametric Equalizers. Other related rack products were the Harald Bode-designed Frequency Shifter and Ring Modulator, and the singular String Filter created by Moog's Custom Engineering Group. The Moog Signal Processors have found a place in production facilities worldwide, both past and present. Artists like Wendy Carlos, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Tangerine Dream, John Carpenter, Genesis, Jan Hammer, Mouse on Mars, and Coldplay have used them to shape their distinctive sounds. And producers as diverse as Giorgio Moroder, Mike Elizondo, and Sylvia Massy have cited these black boxes as treasured parts of their studio gear. Today these units are increasingly scarce and fetch prices far above their original value – that is, if they can be found at all. The Future is Yours Cherry Audio's Rackmode Signal Processors collection represents a first-time opportunity for producers to explore these studio-quality vintage effects. When combined with today's modern production workflow, experimentation will lead to inspiration, and an old approach to sound can unexpectedly result in something completely new. If tracked down and purchased today, the original hardware would cost well over $20,000. Cherry Audio is introducing the entire Rackmode Signal Processors bundle at an unheard-of price of $99, less than $13 per plugin! “We all know how important effect chains are within our setup. The right effect can be as important and crucial as choosing a sound and should always be chosen wisely. Working mainly with vintage synthesizers, one of the most important things for me is to keep the warmth and depth of the sound of my synths while adding personality through the effects. Using the 'Rackmode Signal Processors' I am pleasantly impressed by the sound quality of all the effects; in particular, the Phaser and the Ring Modulator hit me hard thanks to their uniqueness. Highly recommended!” Sebastian Galassi Synthesist, ComposerKylmää kiveä (Documentary, 2015) “The vintage nerd in me is in love with the Rackmode effects. I can see so many uses (and abuses) of these in my coming projects. The mind reels!” Steve Ouimette Composer/Artist/ProducerNFL, MLB, Call Of Duty, and Ghost Recon video game series “I've been searching forever for effects that revisit the sound of the now discontinued "fooger" pedals. My search is over... the Rackmode Processors have THAT thick, warm, analog tone I've been looking for. The Vocoder instrument included in the pack is a huge bonus! This is an inexpensive and yet awesome bargain even if it was twice the price.” Dave Polich Music producer/sound designer/tour keyboard technicianMichael Jackson, David Foster, The Cure, Bonnie Raitt, Fleetwood Mac, Yamaha, Korg, Roland, Sequential, and more. “We all know how important effect chains are within our setup.
