"Cherry Audio’s ODC 2800 is an exceptional three-in-one virtual instrument that pays tribute to the legendary synth pioneer Alan R. Pearlman on the momentous 100th anniversary of his birth. This powerful synthesizer plugin draws inspiration from the revolutionary Odyssey analog duophonic synthesizer, launched by ARP Instruments in 1972. ODC 2800 not only provides an authentic reproduction of the sound and appearance of all three versions of the original hardware, but also enhances the experience with expanded polyphony, an additional oscillator and LFO, extensive modulation options, and support for both velocity and polyphonic aftertouch.

3. Jezz Woodroffe Presents "Alan's Pearls & Gems" with Cherry Audio's ODC 2800

Film composer and keyboardist Jezz Woodroffe (Black Sabbath, Robert Plant) on Cherry Audio's new ODC 2800 synthesizer: "As soon as I knew Mark Barton was working on this, I knew it was going to be sound perfection. What's so brilliant about this is the extra oscillator, the three fabulous lockable UIs, the fantastic effects section, and the expanded panel for it and the keys. Without a doubt, it's a real classic updated design that Alan Pearlman would be thrilled to have seen and heard."
