Cherry Audio pays homage to the Sequential Prophet-10 with new P-10 virtual synthesizerAd feature with Cherry Audio.
Cherry Audio has launched P-10, a virtual synthesizer inspired by the iconic Sequential Prophet-10.
As a quick history lesson, the Prophet-10 was originally launched by Sequential in 1980, essentially offering two Prophet-5s in one massive enclosure. It could be configured to be played as two independent five-voice synths, a single ten-voice synth, dual-patch layered, or alternating between layers with each keystroke.
Aiming to “exactingly reproduce all that is exceptional in this legendary classic”, the team at Cherry Audio’s modelled P-10 after the Prophet-10 with “utmost care”, recreating everything from its Curtis 3340 oscillators and 3320 filters to its oscillator sync.
But while P-10, at its core, pays homage to the Prophet-10, Cherry Audio has added a series of more modern features for the present-day synth programmer.

Such features which “modernise the user experience” include expanded 16-voice per layer polyphony, a four-track step sequencer – with each track having a length of up to 128 steps – polyphonic aftertouch and keyboard split.
Elsewhere, P-10’s extensive modulation capabilities include Mono Mod with LFO/Noise source mix, Poly Mod – which enables individual modulation paths, an Aux mod section that extends upon the Prophet-10’s Pedal Mod capabilities, and a newly added Pressure Mod section with support for mono and polyphonic aftertouch.
 

There’s also a second panel with an arpeggiator and effects section for each layer, including a fully independent LFO section.
P-10 comes with 500 professionally designed presets – including original Prophet-5 and Prophet-10 factory patches – as well as “comprehensive” MIDI mapping capabilities.
Additionally, P-10 features two studio-quality effects chains, three types of delay and five reverb types.
Cherry Audio describes P-10 as a “must-have virtual instrument that will thrill both vintage synth enthusiasts and today’s music producers”.
“With P-10, Cherry Audio has made every effort to capture the sweet-yet-powerful sounds of the eighties from countless artists as varied as Hall & Oates, Vangelis, Japan, John Carpenter and Alan Howarth, Tears for Fears, Tony Banks, Phil Collins, Rick Wakeman, Duran Duran, Brad Fiedel, Geoff Downes, Talking Heads, Pink Floyd, The Cars, Kraftwerk, and more,” the brand goes on.
Cherry Audio has paid careful attention to P-10’s UI, too, with an aesthetically pleasing and “exquisitely rendered” interface.
P-10 is available now in AU, VST, VST3, AAX and standalone formats, priced at $59. A free 30-day trial is available, and P-10 is also included in Synth Stack 5, Cherry Audio’s $499 bundle of 29 virtual instruments. An additional preset pack for P-10 is also available for $9.99, featuring 100 presets by sound designer James Dyson.
