Cherry Audio is renowned for its well-reviewed software recreations of vintage synthesizers, having captured the spirit of legendary names such as the Roland Juno-106, ARP 2600 and Prophet-10 in plugin form, along with some lesser-known instruments like the Novachord.
The latest synth in Cherry Audio's sights is the Crumar Spirit, an Italian analogue monosynth released in 1983 that's considered something of a cult classic. Designed by none other than Bob Moog (in collaboration with Tom Rhea, Jim Scott and Sante Crucianelli) the Spirit is known for its complexity and sonic versatility, along with its ultra-rare status: fewer than 100 units were manufactured before Crumar folded in 1986.
