Virtual synthesizer based on the flagship analogue polysynth SCI released in 1980 as two P5 synthesizers in one dual-manual case – including the original P5 and P10 factory presets.

Cherry Audio has modelled the original’s Curtis 3340 oscillators, 3320 filters and distinctive oscillator sync in meticulous detail. As on the original, P-10 can be played as two independent synths, a single synth, two layered presets or layers that alternate with each keystroke – now with 16 voices per layer, keyboard split, velocity and polyphonic aftertouch. Modulation comes from Mono Mod, Poly Mod with individual per-voice modulation paths, Aux Mod and the new Pressure Mod section, while a second panel provides an arpeggiator, effects and a dedicated LFO for each layer. A four-track step sequencer and over 500 presets, including the original P5 and P10 patches, complete the instrument.

Features

• Two layers with 16 voices each: two independent synths, one synth, layered presets or alternating layers with each keystroke

• Pressure Mod for mono and polyphonic aftertouch, routable to oscillators, pulse width, filter, VCA and LFO
• Over 500 presets including the original P5 and P10 factory patches; show/hide keyboard option
