Cherry Audio 向来热衷于复刻硬件产品,这次他们带来了一款新的插件 Yellowjacket!
这款插件致敬了由英国 EDP 公司于 1978 年发布的经典 Wasp 合成器。

这款插件致敬了由英国 EDP 公司于 1978 年发布的经典 Wasp 合成器。
Yellowjacket synthesizer is a stunning value-packed tribute to the venerable Wasp synthesizer, released by the British synth company EDP in 1978.
Cherry Audio has reproduced the singular buzzy tone and drone of this legendary monophonic, digital/analog hybrid, from its quirky oscillators to its distinctive filter.
Further influenced by the pioneering spirit of its inventors, we've added several innovative features to Yellowjacket, reenvisioning what could have been.
These include elements of other EDP instruments, unison and 16-voice polyphony, emulation of the Wasp's integrated speaker, an expanded multimode filter,
and a new-to-Cherry advanced arpeggiator with probability and humanise controls.
Yellowjacket 合成器是对 1978 年英国合成器公司 EDP 推出的经典 Wasp 合成器的超值致敬之作。
Cherry Audio 精准重现了这款传奇单音数字/模拟混合合成器的独特蜂鸣音色与持续声音特征,从独特的振荡器到标志性的滤波器。
受其制作者开拓精神的启发,我们为 Yellowjacket 新增多项创新功能,重新构想其可能性。
包括融合其他 EDP 乐器的元素,Unison 与 16 复音支持,Wasp 内置扬声器模拟,扩展的多模式滤波器,
Cherry 全新开发的高级琶音器(支持 Probability 与 Humanise 控制)

We've replicated the look of the notorious touch-capacitive yellow and black keyboard of the original, enhanced it with diatonic scales and transpose,
and extended it with customizable pressure control with support for expressive channel and polyphonic aftertouch.
Perhaps the most exciting feature of Yellowjacket is directly inspired by EDP's innovative pre-MIDI system that allowed multiple synths to be chained together:
multi-voice modes that add adjustable "mini synths" that can provide subtle or extreme variation in tone, single-fingered chords and arpeggiated patterns, lush stereo effects, and more.
In short, there has never been a Cherry Audio plugin quite like Yellowjacket, and we know that today's musicians and producers will get a real buzz from it.
Cherry Audio 复刻了硬件标志性的黄黑触控电容式键盘外观,新增自然音阶与移调功能,
并扩展支持可定制的压力控制,兼容表情通道与复音触后。
Yellowjacket 最激动人心的功能直接源于 EDP 创新的前 MIDI 系统(可实现多台合成器串联):
多复音模式可添加可调节的“迷你合成器”,提供细腻或极端的音色变化、单指和弦与琶音模式、立体声效果等。
简而言之,Cherry Audio 从未推出过如 Yellowjacket 这般独特的插件,我们认为现代音乐人与制作人将为之兴奋不已。
Yellowjacket includes over 270 spectacular presets
Producers will find immediate inspiration in Yellowjacket's extensive preset library, created by a talented sound design team led by veteran sound designer James Terris.

由资深音效设计师 James Terris 领导的一支才华横溢的音效设计团队创建的 Yellowjacket 丰富的预设库,能让制作人立即找到灵感。

Yellowjacket Features:
All aspects of the 1978 EDP Wasp monophonic synthesizer have been precisely modeled in exacting detail, and enhanced with several imaginative new features.
Over 270 professionally-designed presets in a dozen categories:
sizzling Leads, sublime Arps, atmospheric Pads, single-fingered Chords, stunning Strings, deep Basses, and more.
Monophonic, unison, polyphonic (4, 8, or 16 voices), and cycle voice modes with glide.
Innovative Multi voice modes for unison, poly, and cycle that add per-note variation by adding three additional "mini synth" panels,
each with their own pitch, pan, filter frequency, VCA Envelope Attack, and VCA Envelope Release settings.
Quick-access Multi voice panel presets such as Hard Panned, Slightly Detuned, Well Worn, and more to simulate subtle or extreme variations between multiple chained synths.
