Miniverse Black Friday pricing is 51% off, which brings Cherry Audio's analog synth emulation to $24 until Dec 1, 2026.
Miniverse is a software recreation of a famously loved analog synthesizer. Cherry Audio says it shares the thick, "fat" analog sound that artists like Kraftwerk, Herbie Hancock, Rick Wakeman, Pink Floyd, Parliament and Gary Numan helped make famous.
This Miniverse plugin was built around one principle, according to the maker: absolute authenticity.
Cherry Audio worked with DSP developer Mark Barton (MRB), and the pair measured the audio behaviour of the original in detail. The interface follows suit, with a maple cabinet, a textured surface and the familiar knobs and switches.
The maker deliberately left out extras such as additional LFOs or effects. The goal was the raw sound and feel of the classic, not a bigger feature list.
This synth VST is built on familiar classic components:
Polyphony is the single enhancement Cherry Audio could not resist adding. Dial in a single voice for leads and basslines, or stack up to 16 for pads and chords.
Miniverse ships with a preset library from professional sound designers. The maker describes over 250 presets covering brass, keys, percussion, sound effects, MPE patches, and the earthshaking basses and leads the original is known for.
MIDI Polyphonic Expression is supported, so an MPE-compatible controller can drive expressive performances. You can save custom MIDI controller mappings to individual presets, globally, or both.
Every control accepts MIDI control and DAW automation, with MIDI learn to make assigning quick. Cherry Audio's Focus zoom-in feature is included for working on the interface.
The code is optimised for ultra-low CPU load, and an oversampling control lets you adjust the setting yourself.
On Mac, Miniverse comes as AU, VST, VST3, AAX and Standalone. It needs macOS 10.13 or above (macOS 13 Ventura is supported), 64-bit, with native Apple M1 support including M1 Ultra. Cherry Audio recommends a 3.4 GHz quad-core or M1 CPU with 8GB of RAM.
On Windows, it comes as VST, VST3, AAX and Standalone. It needs Windows 7 or above, including Windows 11, 64-bit, and a quad-core machine with 8GB of RAM is recommended.
MPE playback needs a DAW and a hardware controller that support MIDI Polyphonic Expression. A free 30-day demo is available. It is otherwise unlimited but plays white noise periodically.
