Cherry Audio Pentaphonic brings the character of the rare early-1980s Gleeman Pentaphonic synthesizer into a modern production workflow. Its three-oscillator architecture expands to 16 voices, with oscillator sync and pulse-width modulation for shaping distinctive leads, rich chords and resonant pads. Switchable 2-pole and 4-pole low-pass filters give you different ways to soften or emphasize the tone, while two flexible LFOs add movement. Velocity and aftertouch support make patches responsive to your playing. For rhythmic ideas, an advanced arpeggiator and 16×4 polyphonic step sequencer let you create synchronized, transposable patterns. Built-in chorus and 22 modulatable effects take sounds from vintage-inspired textures to more contemporary territory. With over 375 presets, including recreations of the original 50 factory patches, Pentaphonic suits producers who want an unusual synth palette with plenty of ready-to-play inspiration and room for sound design.
