Memorymode 2: Cherry Audio's Definitive Successor to a Legendary Synthesizer

OAKHURST, CA — June 16, 2026: Cherry Audio has announced the release of Memorymode 2, a bigger, bolder, and better reimagining of its acclaimed 2021 flagship synthesizer and a next-generation tribute to the singular 1982 Memorymoog polyphonic analog synthesizer. Memorymode 2 has been redesigned using advanced analysis and design techniques, establishing a new standard for analog modeling accuracy in software instruments.

Memorymode 2 is now available for only $69 at cherryaudio.com and at authorized resellers. Owners of Memorymode version 1 can upgrade to Memorymode 2 at the discounted price of only $39 from the Cherry Audio store.

The original Memorymoog synthesizer set a high standard for analog sound quality at the time of its release, featuring six-voice polyphony with three oscillators per voice, the 24 dB/octave ladder filter, and was often described as "six Minimoogs in one." In 2021, Cherry Audio introduced the Memorymode virtual instrument, which earned widespread acclaim for faithfully reproducing the original hardware's sound while eliminating the reliability and tuning issues commonly associated with it. Five years later, Memorymode 2 builds on that success, establishing itself as the definitive successor to both the original synthesizer and the previous plugin.

At the core of Memorymode 2 is a CPU-optimized dual-layer architecture that allows for two complete 16-voice polyphonic synthesizer layers or splits per preset. It can support up to 48 voices per layer with unison stacking. This update brings significantly improved analog modeling across oscillators, filters, and envelopes. It features a refined ladder filter with 24dB and an additional 12dB/octave option, a "modern" setting for beefier lows and more crystalline highs, and emphasis compensation to maintain sound level and low-frequency weight. Additional features include analog drift control, a new multi-voice mode, a single-key chord mode, and enhanced expression capabilities through velocity sensitivity, polyphonic aftertouch, and MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) support.

Memorymode 2 also features four lanes of touch-oriented modulation with 52 routing destinations, 16x4 programmable polyphonic step sequencers and arpeggiators per layer, and additional performance-based automation through the Touch Animator. Additionally, it offers three independent effect chains, delivering 22 studio-quality effects, including the new Wide Phaser and Rotary Speaker.

The instrument comes with over 800 presets created by sound design luminaries including James Terris, Andrew Longhurst, Steve Peglar, Drew Schlesinger, Dave Polich, Huston Singletary, and J3PO. Memorymode 2 features the original version 1 presets, as well as precise recreations of 100 original Memorymoog factory patches. Additionally, it supports Tape Data Import and SysEx drag-and-drop compatibility with original hardware.

Compatibility is essential, so the new version installs separately from version 1, preserving all user presets and projects. You can easily import version 1 presets, including the original effects, by simply dragging and dropping them. Memorymode 2 provides richer harmonic tone than before, and delivers an exceptional reproduction of the original synthesizer's remarkable sound and power at a fraction of the cost of a vintage instrument.

The Foundation Preset Pack for Memorymode 2 is exclusively available from Cherry Audio for $9.99. All proceeds from August 2026 sales of the soundset will benefit the Bob Moog Foundation in celebration of its 20th anniversary of preserving Bob Moog's legacy through education and the Moogseum. This pack features 275 expertly crafted presets by renowned sound designers James Dyson, Scott McAuley, and Ger Hughes. These presets utilize Memorymode 2's most innovative features, including layers, polyphonic sequencers, the Touch Animator, dual arpeggiators, and the updated effects library, showcasing even more dynamic sounds for the synthesizer.
