DS-2 Synthesizer

The DS-2 Synthesizer from Cherry Audio resurrects a rare 1978 hybrid instrument, pairing a gritty monophonic synth engine with a paraphonic companion section. Its digitally controlled oscillators produce stair-stepped waveforms with jagged harmonics, while analog filters and LFOs add warmth and movement. The result is a sound that sits between vintage digital edge and analog character—ideal for leads, basses, and experimental textures. The monophonic section now offers Unison and Multi voice modes with cycling, panning, and tuning, plus its own polyphony (4, 8, or 16 voices). The Poly section supports up to 32 notes, and keyboard split mode lets you assign ranges for layered or divided performances. This plugin suits producers seeking distinctive, harmonically rich tones that cut through mixes. Whether you’re crafting retro-inspired tracks or modern electronic music, the DS-2 delivers a unique sonic palette that stands apart from polished digital and buttery analog synths.
