    Congratulations, yours was the first independent Chroma video that I saw, and it is very informative. Thank you!

    I've come back to the Chroma with a new setup. I added an external touch-screen to the PC and the moved the Chroma VST to it.when playing... basically a virtual interface instead of midi cc set up. Its pretdamn awesome.

    Chroma sounds amazing. But while I do understand Cherry wanting the GUI to resemble the actual hardware, I definitely would prefer knobs and sliders. It is much easier to glance at them and immediately "see" where everything is set, versus just having a bunch of boxes with numbers. It would have been nice to have an alternate GUI you could select which would have knobs or sliders for each parameter.

      Alternate UIs is a great idea, but yeaj, tje essence of Cherry Audio is keeping things as close as the original.

    I had it as samples as Falcon library but I will get also this. I really hope that Cherry Audio will not continue to raise their synth prices 😣

    • @AlexReidStudios
      @AlexReidStudios  2 місяці тому +1

      I prefer emulations over libraries honestly. I believe the price on this one was because of the time they put on building it

    the question is did you make any presets without the galactic reverb? because we all know the galactic reverb is rabbit drugs

    What's your opinion, better than gx 80? I know it's a different workflow and approach but what are your thoughts?

    they shouldn't have called this synth Chroma. there's already an effect with that name and it wouldn't have been too hard to come up with a unique name
