Starting in 2025 with Trident MkIII, Cherry Audio standardized its approach to effects across its virtual instruments — including the new Crumar DS-2 — by introducing the Effects Panel and including 20 studio-quality effects. Each instrument now features a panel with multiple sections that allows users to create and apply multiple customizable effects chains. These chains can be then be saved, recalled and applied in different sections of the instrument, or even across other Cherry Audio instruments that utilize this new system. In this video, producer and musician @mikemmartin tours the effects panel, the effects tray, and the 20 effects, and demonstrates how to use them and get more from the newest plugins.

Step back into the golden age of analog percussion with the CR-78 Drum Machine. This meticulously modeled plugin recreates the legendary 1978 hardware that defined the sound of synth-pop and new wave, bringing its iconic warm textures and “human” feel to your modern DAW. Beyond the classic preset rhythms that inspired artists like Phil Collins and Blondie, this version offers deep per-instrument tuning, advanced sequencing, and Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) technology for an authentic, breathing sound that fits perfectly in both retro-leaning tracks and forward-thinking electronic productions.
