Cherry Audio - Memorymode V2 v1.0.9.75 Standalone,VSTi, VSTi3, AAX for Windows

• Exhaustive Circuit-Level Re-Engineering: Completely re-modeled using modern behavioral circuit analysis to match the acoustic response, non-linear distortion, and thermal drift of the original 1982 hardware (originally modeled after Chick Corea's personal unit).
• Expanded Dual-Layer 32-Voice Architecture: Two completely independent layers providing up to 16 polyphonic voices per layer (32 voices total), configurable in dual-layer stacked or keyboard split configurations with independent synthesis, modulation, arpeggiation, and effects.
• Three Oscillators per Voice: Authentic 3-VCO design per voice featuring pulse, saw, and triangle shapes with variable pulse-width modulation, oscillator sync, pink/white noise, and polyphonic audio-rate modulation.
• Switchable Ladder Filter & Emphasis Compensation: Modeled 24 dB/octave and 12 dB/octave Moog ladder filters with selectable Emphasis Compensation to prevent low-end volume drop during high resonance sweeps, plus a "Modern" switch for pristine top-end clarity.
• MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) & Polyphonic Glide: Full multi-dimensional per-note control across Pitch Bend (X), Pressure/Aftertouch (Z), and Slide/Timbre (Y).
• Touch Animator & 16x4 Polyphonic Sequencer: Independent 16-step polyphonic sequencers and dedicated 4-slot Touch Animator modulation sequencers for each layer.
• Direct Vintage Data Import: Directly decodes and restores original 1980s Memorymoog cassette backup WAV audio recordings, as well as Lintronics Advanced Memorymoog (LAMM) SysEx patch banks via drag-and-drop.
• Triple Effect Chains with 22 Processors: Three discrete FX chains (Layer A, Layer B, and Global) housing 22 high-end studio effects, including the newly introduced Wide Phaser and Rotary Speaker.
• Pre-Activated Team R2R Release: Cured installer running natively alongside the TEAM R2R System framework without third-party phone-home daemons or license keys.

The Return of the Ultimate Analog Polyphonic Giant
Introduced in 1982, the Moog Memorymoog was widely celebrated as the pinnacle of analog synthesizer power. Often described as "six Minimoogs packed into a single chassis," its 18 discrete voltage-controlled oscillators and biting 24 dB ladder filter produced massive basslines, soaring brass, and lush polyphonic chord stacks that defined albums by Herbie Hancock, Jean-Michel Jarre, INXS, Tangerine Dream, The Cars, and 808 State. However, the original hardware was notoriously unstable, expensive to maintain, and prone to tuning failures.

Cherry Audio Memorymode 2 resolves every hardware compromise while capturing the raw analog punch of the original. Rather than a simple incremental patch, Version 2 has been reconstructed from the component level up, accurately simulating voice card behavior, temperature fluctuations, and amplifier non-linearities.

Massive Layering and Modern Sound Design
Where the original hardware was limited to 6 monophonic voices, Memorymode 2 expands to a dual-layer engine delivering 16 voices per layer (32 voices total). You can layer a detuned 3-VCO unison lead over a 16-voice pad, assign independent polyphonic arpeggiators to each keyboard split, or craft evolving ambient textures using the Touch Animator modulation matrix.

Voice Architecture & Filter Section:

• Oscillator Section (Per Voice):
  • 3 Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs) supporting simultaneous ramp, triangle, and pulse waveforms with variable pulse-width.
  • Oscillator sync (VCO 2 synced to VCO 1) and independent pink/white noise source.
  • Polyphonic Voice Modulation (Voice Mod) section allowing VCO 3 and the filter envelope to modulate VCO 1/2 frequency, pulse width, and filter cutoff.
• Ladder Filter Topologies:
  • Switchable 24 dB/octave (4-pole) and 12 dB/octave (2-pole) resonant low-pass filter.
  • Emphasis Compensation: Preserves full sub-bass weight when resonance is turned up high.
  • Modern Switch: Bypasses vintage high-frequency dampening for ultra-crisp modern leads.
• Envelopes & LFOs:
  • Two full ADSR envelopes per layer with velocity scaling assigned to filter, VCA, and auxiliary modulation targets.
  • Two tempo-synced LFOs per layer offering 7 waveforms with phase reset.
• Analog Drift & Condition Trimmers:
  • Granular calibration controls to introduce authentic voice-to-voice pitch discrepancies, filter variance, and envelope timing offsets.

Sequencing & Performance:

• 16x4 Polyphonic Step Sequencer:
  • One dedicated sequencer per layer with DAW tempo sync, step glide, gate duration, and swing/humanization settings.
• Dual Arpeggiators:
  • Independent arpeggiation engines per layer featuring Up, Down, Order, Leap, and Random playback modes with Chance and Swing controls.
• Touch Animator:
  • 16-step rhythmic modulation engine that modulates the depth of the 4 touch modulation slots dynamically.

Three Routing Chains (Layer A -> Layer B -> Master Global Chain):

Each processor features individual bypass, solo, bipolar modulation sliders, and wet/dry mix controls:

• Modulation & Pitch:
  • Wide Phaser (New in V2: Expanded stereo field phaser)
  • Rotary Speaker (New in V2: Realistic Leslie horn/drum acceleration modeling)
  • DCO Chorus, BBD Flanger, Double Ensemble, Double Phaser, Flanger & Chorus, Ring Modulator, Pulse Generator.
• Delays & Reverbs:
  • Digital Delay, Double Delay, Tape Echo (vintage ribbon flutter).
  • Galactic Reverb, Digital Reverb, Lushverb (enhanced algorithm), Spring Reverb (enhanced physical tank modeling).
• Dynamics, EQ & Tone Shaping:
  • VCA Compressor, Seven-Band Graphic EQ, Distortion & Equalizer, Envelope Filter, Lo-Fi Bitcrusher, Stereo Panner.

   • VST2 plugin
   • VST3 plugin (default: C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\Cherry Audio\)
   • AAX plugin (for Pro Tools)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

• Q: Why is TEAM R2R System v1.5.2 required?
  A: Cherry Audio instruments use modern challenge-response licensing hooks. The TEAM R2R System runtime intercepts these calls locally, allowing the cured plugin to authenticate without making external server requests.
• Q: How do I import original Memorymoog cassette backup audio files?
  A: Click the settings/menu icon on the top toolbar, select Import Cassette Data, and choose your uncompressed .wav recording containing the original FSK audio tape signals.
• Q: Does Memorymode 2 support polyphonic aftertouch?
  A: Yes, Memorymode 2 features native MPE support, allowing polyphonic aftertouch and per-note pitch bends when paired with modern MPE controllers (e.g., Roli Seaboard, LinnStrument, Expressive E Osmose).
