Step into a universe of sound with the Cherry Audio Mercury-6 Synthesizer Software Instrument. This meticulously crafted plugin brings the legendary Jupiter-6 analog polyphonic synthesizer of the 1980s into the digital age, offering a perfect blend of vintage character and modern innovation. Boasting an impressive dual-layer architecture, each voice is equipped with 16 polyphonic layers and two VCOs, allowing for expansive sound design possibilities. The Mercury-6 faithfully recreates the rich, harmonic-heavy tones of its predecessor with features like FM cross-modulation and an authentic portamento.

The multimode filter offers 24dB/oct lowpass, highpass, and 12dB/oct bandpass options, while two tempo-syncable LFOs provide extensive modulation capabilities. For those who love rhythmic textures, the MIDI-syncable arpeggiator includes the original's hidden up/down mode along with a random mode, offering you endless rhythmic variations.

Cherry Audio has also introduced studio-grade effects, including distortion, phaser, flanger, chorus, and reverbs, all easily modifiable at both the global and per-layer levels.
