Cherry Audio Memorymode – Can a Sub-$40 Synth Really Sound Good?

In this video I play sounds from Memorymode: Cherry Audio’s emulation of the Moog Memorymoog. Given that great synths usually cost many hundreds or thousands of dollars, can a software synth costing less than $40 really deliver usable results?

Let me know what you think in the comments…

The sounds in this video are either presets or sounds I created – mainly just by tweaking presets. The Memorymode user interface is very straightforward and easy to use if you're familiar with the layout of analog synths.

The effects you hear on the sounds are all internal to Memorymode: no external effects were used apart from reverb on ‘Memory strings’ and no other processing was applied other than a small amount of limiting and EQ for mastering to YouTube.

There was no sponsorship or affiliation to Cherry Audio or their products in the making of this video.
