Cherry Audio's Pro Soloist is a thrilling blend of vintage charm and modern innovation, breathing new life into the legendary 1972 ARP synth. With award-winning developer Mark Barton's precise circuit modeling, this virtual instrument takes the original monophonic design and transforms it into a programmable polyphonic powerhouse. The Pro Soloist doesn’t just replicate the 30 iconic presets and the expressive controls of its predecessor—it expands them with full polyphony, dual-layer architecture, and a comprehensive modulation matrix.

Harness the power of dual-layer voicing with 16 polyphonic voices per layer, offering rich stereo textures and complex sounds in split or stacked modes.

Each layer can be individually controlled for volume and panning, crafting expansive stereo soundscapes.

For those seeking expressive performance, the Pro Soloist has you covered. Its innovative "touch sensor" keyboard emulates aftertouch, providing maximum expressiveness. Plus, with a robust set of studio-quality effects like phaser, chorus, delay, and reverb, your sound design possibilities are virtually endless.
