We've done away with the complex beat programming, replaced it with a familiar X0X-style button-per-step interface, and added an easy-to-use song mode for pattern chaining. Unlike sample-based emulations, Cherry Audio's CR-78 uses modeled synthesis to recreate the classic tones of the original and makes a quantum leap forward by making these sounds fully editable. Four studio-quality effects are provided, with a uniquely fast and fun \"send button\" for each individual tone in the effects and mixer section, which also includes a complete mixer, compressor, and a six-band graphic EQ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1978, following the success of their AceTone electronic rhythm products, Roland introduced a not-so-little box that made a massive impact. Coming from a legacy of preset-based devices intended to sit atop an organ, the CompuRhythm CR-78 was entirely new: the first programmable, microprocessor-controlled, analog beatbox.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its colorful buttons for pattern presets, distinctive analog tones, and basic pattern programming, the CR-78 was the first drum machine as we know it. Pro musicians such as Blondie, Ultravox, Phil Collins and Genesis, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, Roxy Music, The Cars, Hall and Oates, and many others immediately embraced and immortalized this revolutionary gear.\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWaiting for this Moment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor years, musicians have requested a virtual drum machine such as this, and in Cherry Audio fashion, we've delivered it with so much more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCherry Audio's CR-78 is a visionary virtual drum machine that re-envisions the original by meticulously recreating and extending its distinctive sounds and beats with new programmability features, and adds over 250 additional presets that take it from mild to wild.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePattern creation has been simplified with X0X-style 16- or 24-step sequencing, copy-and-paste, and real-time entry using trigger, keyboard, or MIDI device. CR-78 also includes an expansive song mode for chaining up to 99 patterns. All of the original variations for fills, accents, voice cancel, and fades are present, along with new swing and velocity options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCherry Audio's CR-78 can be played standalone and includes versatile plug-in options loaded with such DAW-friendly features as auto-sync, drag-and-drop MIDI export, individual outs, and complete automation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike sample-based instruments, Cherry Audio has emulated the original's tones through modeled synthesis, and a Voice Edit panel allows extensive instrument parameter editing, enabling a range of sonic and melodic possibilities far surpassing the original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe innovative Effects\/Mixer panel delivers discrete level, pan, mute\/solo; studio-quality effects, including overdrive, flanger, delay, gated reverb with effects send buttons; and a master compressor and a six-band graphic EQ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, Cherry Audio's CR-78 goes deep inside the box to provide the ultimate outside-of-the-box experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCherry Audio and Tim Shoebridge have again teamed up to create an extensive and entertaining video that introduces users to the classic CR-78 sounds and the features of this tremendous virtual drum machine.\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCR-78 Drum Machine Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll 34 factory preset rhythms and “variation\/fill-in” patterns included\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimple shift-click action to combine two factory presets\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver 250 additional rhythm and sound presets, including special categories that go far beyond the classic CR-78 tones and patterns:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKits: combinations of instruments matched and tuned to specific genres, with patterns that demonstrate each of the sounds in sequence\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMelodic: using pitch tuning and effects to create synth bass or melodic accompaniment along with the beats\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll original sounds exactingly modeled \u003cstrong\u003e—\u003c\/strong\u003e no samples used\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVoice Edit panel for mild or extreme sound editing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFamiliar X0X-style 16- or 24-step pattern programming\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuper flexible pattern and instrument copy and paste capabilities\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwing percentage setting\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReal-time step entering via Trigger button\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike original, all sounds independently addressable in user pattern mode\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEasy to use Song Mode with up to 99 patterns and 99 steps per song\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExternal MIDI sound triggering with velocity sensitivity and user-assignable note mapping\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEffects\/Mixer panel with studio-quality effects for overdrive, flanger, delay, and gated reverb that can be individually applied to each kit instrument through an innovative “one-button mixer send”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMixer with independent level, pan, and solo\/mute for each instrument\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Effects\/Mixer panel also includes a wild and characterful master compressor and six-band graphic EQ\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrag-export function allows simple mouse-drag conversion of patterns to DAW MIDI tracks (plug-in version) or Standard MIDI Files on the desktop (standalone version)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeparate out plug-in version for independent processing of each instrument in a DAW\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuper accurate DAW sync\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUser-adjustable oversampling control\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComplete MIDI control and DAW automation for all controls, with easy-to-use MIDI learn and mapping (Preset and Global)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCherry Audio’s popular Focus zoom-in feature, as well as standard UI zoom and resize via drag\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComplete documentation available directly online from the instrument or in downloadable PDF format\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso available: The \u003cstrong\u003eCompu-Rhythms for CR-78 Preset Pack\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.cherryaudio.com\/presets\/compu-rhythms-for-cr-78\"\u003esold separately\u003c\/a\u003e) featuring 100 more presets by talented sound artists James Dyson, Agent Method, and Huston Singletary that go even further \"outside of the box\" using CR-78's advanced voice editing, effects, and pattern chaining techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCR-78\u003c\/strong\u003e is available in AU, VST, VST3, AAX, and standalone formats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA free 30-day demo is available.
