Eight Voice Black Friday deal: 51% off Cherry Audio's polyphonic synth plugin, which brings the price to $19 until Dec 1, 2026.
Eight Voice is a polyphonic synthesizer plugin that emulates the Oberheim Eight Voice, a rare vintage instrument. Cherry Audio calls it its most ambitious instrument to date.
The original used eight independent dual-oscillator voice modules, and the maker says they could be hard to program because the hardware predates modern microprocessor control. This plugin is built to make that layout easier to handle.
You get eight fully independent dual-oscillator voice modules, so each voice can be set on its own.
When you want a homogenous poly sound, the Voice Link controls let you group voice module controls instead of setting each module one by one.
Focus buttons enlarge any section of the interface on demand, which the maker says makes sound programming easier.
The filter is an emulation of the Oberheim multi-mode filter by synth designer Mark Barton (MRB). Cherry Audio describes it as a circuit-correct recreation of the Oberheim state-variable filter.
On top of the voices and filter, Eight Voice carries an eight-step mini sequencer with a 1/2-step quantizer and tempo sync. There is also a modulation delay and a reverb, both with tempo sync.
An extra LFO offers six waveforms and tempo sync.
Keyboard assignment is highly configurable, with mono and poly modes plus independent key range settings for zoning and layering. Two separate poly assign buses let you stack poly patches.
Every control responds to MIDI and DAW automation, and the plugin ships with over 330 presets.
Here is what the maker lists for the package:
Formats are AU, VST, VST3, AAX and Standalone on Mac, and VST, VST3, AAX and Standalone on Windows. The AU format is Mac only.
On Mac you need macOS 10.13 or above (macOS 13 Ventura supported), 64-bit, with native Apple M1 support including M1 Ultra. On Windows you need Windows 7 or above, including Windows 11, 64-bit. For both, Cherry Audio recommends a quad-core CPU and 8GB of RAM.
Yes. The Eight Voice Black Friday deal takes 51% off Cherry Audio's polyphonic synth plugin, which brings the price to $19. The offer runs until Dec 1, 2026.
Eight Voice includes eight independent dual-oscillator voice modules, over 330 presets, an Oberheim multi-mode filter emulation, an extra LFO, an eight-step mini sequencer, and a reverb and mod delay, both with tempo sync.
On Mac, Eight Voice comes in AU, VST, VST3, AAX and Standalone. On Windows it comes in VST, VST3, AAX and Standalone. The Eight Voice VST3 and AAX versions run in any host that supports those formats.
Voice Link groups the controls of the voice modules. For homogenous poly sounds, you can adjust them together rather than setting each of the eight modules individually, which the maker says makes programming simpler.
