The dco 106 Black Friday deal from Cherry Audio takes 51% off this polysynth plugin, which puts it at $14 until Dec 1, 2026.
DCO-106 is a software synth built around the sound of one of the best-known 80s polysynths. The maker says every aspect is modeled in exact detail, with modern features added on top.
Cherry Audio describes the range as cutting leads, warm and hazy pads, and punchy synthetic electro drums. The idea is a synth that is easy to understand and still deep enough to keep exploring.
The core of the instrument is its voice and effects setup:
The chorus, reverb and delay sit inside the plugin, so you can shape a finished patch without opening a send or a bus in your DAW.
Several voice assign modes are on offer, plus a single-key chord memory mode. Unison detune is there for thick lead and bass sounds.
MPE is supported, which needs a DAW and a hardware controller that handle MIDI Polyphonic Expression. Full MIDI control is included, and every control can be automated from your DAW.
The plugin also accepts the original 106 SysEx commands.
On Mac, DCO-106 comes as AU, VST, VST3, AAX and Standalone. It needs macOS 10.13 or above (macOS 13 Ventura is supported) and a 64-bit system. Native Apple M1 support is included, M1 Ultra among it.
On Windows it comes as VST, VST3, AAX and Standalone. It needs Windows 7 or above, Windows 11 included, 64-bit.
Cherry Audio recommends a 3.4 GHz quad-core or M1 CPU with 8GB of RAM on Mac, and a quad-core machine with 8GB of RAM on Windows.
Yes. The DCO-106 Black Friday deal takes 51% off Cherry Audio's polysynth plugin, bringing it to $14, and it runs until Dec 1, 2026.
You get 330+ presets, including the original 106 Factory Presets, up to 16 voices, stereo chorus, three reverb modes, a tempo-synced delay and an LFO section with six waveforms. It also has chord memory, unison detune and MPE support.
On Mac it comes as AU, VST, VST3, AAX and Standalone. On Windows it is available as VST, VST3, AAX and Standalone. Both platforms need a 64-bit system, and Mac versions run natively on Apple M1.
Yes to both. MPE is supported when your DAW and hardware controller handle MIDI Polyphonic Expression. Every control can be automated from your DAW, and full MIDI control is included, along with the original 106 SysEx commands.
