Product Description

• Yellowjacket synthesizer is a stunning value-packed tribute to the venerable Wasp synthesizer
• released by the British synth company EDP in 1978. Cherry Audio has reproduced the singular buzzy tone and drone of this legendary monophonic
• digital/analog hybrid
• from its quirky oscillators to its distinctive filter. Further influenced by the pioneering spirit of its inventors
• they've added several innovative features to Yellowjacket
• reenvisioning what could have been. These include elements of other EDP instruments
• unison and 16-voice polyphony
• emulation of the Wasp's integrated speaker
• an expanded multimode filter
• and a new-to-Cherry advanced arpeggiator with probability and humanise controls. Cherry Audio has replicated the look of the notorious touch-capacitive yellow and black keyboard of the original
• enhanced it with diatonic scales and transpose
• and extended it with customizable pressure control with support for expressive channel and polyphonic aftertouch. Perhaps the most exciting feature of Yellowjacket is directly inspired by EDP's innovative pre-MIDI system that allowed multiple synths to be chained together: multi-voice modes that add adjustable "mini synths" that can provide subtle or extreme variation in tone
• single-fingered chords and arpeggiated patterns
• lush stereo effects
• and more. Features All aspects of the 1978 EDP Wasp monophonic synthesizer have been precisely modeled in exacting detail
• and enhanced with several imaginative new features Over 270 professionally-designed presets in a dozen categories: sizzling Leads
• sublime Arps
• atmospheric Pads
• single-fingered Chords
• stunning Strings
• deep Basses
• and more Monophonic
• unison
• polyphonic (4
• or 16 voices)
• and cycle voice modes with glide Innovative Multi voice modes for unison
• poly
• and cycle that add per-note variation by adding three additional "mini synth" panels
• each with their own pitch
• filter frequency
• VCA Envelope Attack
• and VCA Envelope Release settings. Quick-access Multi voice panel presets such as Hard Panned
• Slightly Detuned
• Well Worn
• and more to simulate subtle or extreme variations between multiple chained synths Dual panel views with a main Edit view for synthesis controls
• and an Arp/FX panel with extended features Two distinct oscillators with ramp
• pulse
• square wave
• and an enhanced modulated pulse-wave based on the EDP Gnat Oscillator sync Mixer for both oscillators and a white noise signal generator Syncable control oscillator (LFO) with free and retrigger modes
• and sine
• ramp
• sawtooth
• square
• noise
• or random waveforms for pitch
• filter
• and amp modulation Vintage-correct two-pole 12dB state-variable filter based upon the CD4069 logic chip of the original
• with lowpass
• bandpass
• or highpass
• with an extra notch mode
• and the "Q" resonance setting Two envelope generators: a VCA Envelope for volume control with a repeat function
• and a Control Envelope that modulates filter cutoff frequency with positive and negative modulation
• as well as looping and adjustable attack settings Output control with meter and settings for volume
• panning
• master tune
• and limiter Support for velocity
• channel aftertouch
• and polyphonic aftertouch with compatible USB/MIDI controllers Keyboard pressure control with six modulation routings: volume
• pitch
• filter cutoff
• mod wheel
• reverb decay/mix
• and an assignable control that allows a user to select any one of 29 preset synth and effects parameters Enhanced capacitive-style keyboard with root and diatonic scales controls
• and a transpose control that quantizes notes from the USB/MIDI controller Multi-touch enabled (Windows only) - capacitive-style keyboard and pressure meters on the keys respond to multi-touch vertical motion on compatible touchscreen monitors and gesture-capable tablet devices such as Surface Pro. UI can be Maximized to make Yellowjacket fullscreen User-selectable pitch bend depth from 0-12 semitones All new and dynamic arpeggiator with Chance (step probability) and Humanise to add degrees of randomness to arpeggiated patterns.
