Cherry Audio Sines: A Detailed Review and Tutorial

We take a detailed look at Sines, a new synthesizer from Cherry Audio that focuses on building up complex sounds from that simplest of signals, the sine wave. It has four sinusoidal oscillators that can be shaped via multiple functions like width, wavefolding, and overdrive, and combined via mixing and cross modulation. Building up complex sounds from simple sources is the foundation of FM synthesis as well as so-called West Coast synthesis. 00:18 Overview 00:41 Working with a single Sine oscillator 05:30 Additive Synthesis (and Filter section) 08:11 Phase modulation 10:55 DX-style FM synthesis 14:10 Modifying a DX-style Bell preset 17:00 More factory presets ______________ Photo credits:
