Cherry Audio Wurlybird 140B review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

Cherry Audio's Wurlybird 140B successfully captures the essence of the iconic Wurlitzer sound, offering a beautifully sampled experience with rich overtones and an authentic feel. The inclusion of stomp-box effects enhances its versatility, making it suitable for both nostalgic and contemporary music. However, its limited sample range and reliance on a smaller storage footprint might leave some users wanting more depth. Overall, this plugin is a commendable first step into sampled instruments, promising great potential for future Cherry Audio releases.
