Surrealistic MG-1 Plus Synthesizer

Cherry Audio’s Surrealistic MG-1 Plus Synthesizer brings the character of the 1980s Realistic MG-1 into a modern software instrument. Its dual-oscillator monophonic engine pairs with a separate polyphonic oscillator bank, offering thick basses, punchy leads and chord textures with an unmistakably analogue feel. A 24 dB ladder filter shapes the tone, while oscillator sync and “bell tone” ring modulation add bite and metallic colour. Glide, auto-repeat note triggering and a tempo-syncable LFO provide movement for funky grooves and retro-inspired tracks. More than 140 presets give hobby producers an accessible starting point, with expanded octave ranges and multiple note-priority modes inviting deeper experimentation. MIDI-assignable controls and full DAW automation make it easy to build expressive performances and evolving arrangements. It suits producers seeking vintage synth character without sacrificing hands-on control.
