Cherry Audio SH-MAX SynthesizerSH MAX is Cherry Audio's unique blend of three remarkable SH series synthesizers from the 1970s: the SH 5, SH 7, and SH 3A. But SH MAX is far from a simple first time emulation of these classic instruments in software. They took the undeniably bold sound of the SH 5, combined it with the best features from the other models, and infused it with even more power and versatility.

SH-MAX is Cherry Audio's unique blend of three remarkable SH-series synthesizers from the 1970s: the SH-5, SH-7, and SH-3A. But SH-MAX is far from a simple first-time emulation of these classic instruments in software. They took the undeniably bold sound of the SH-5, combined it with the best features from the other models, and infused it with even more power and versatility. With its assertive tone, versatility, and stunning interface, SH-MAX promises to transform the studio experience, putting a synthesis powerhouse right at your fingertips.

SH-MAX reproduces the vibrant sounds and essential features of the SH-5, including its powerful dual oscillators, two LFOs, the impressive parallel filter sections (multimode and bandpass), ring modulator, and sample & hold functionality. Cherry Audio then enhanced it with elements from the SH-7, such as autobend, duophony, filter FM, and syncable VCOs with extra waveforms. Furthermore, they included the additive-style oscillator from the SH-3A for greater flexibility. They also incorporated expressive capabilities inspired by the SH-2000, along with a classic sequencer influenced by the Model 104. To top it all off, they included three retro interface themes, each reflecting the distinct aesthetics of the SH-3A, SH-5, and SH-7.

What truly stands out about the SH-MAX is the distinctive personality of its filters, which can quickly shift from warm analog tones to aggressive sounds. It excels at producing raw, powerful timbres that easily cut through a mix without the need for additional effects (though those are included as well). SH-MAX also incorporates optional drift and slop controls for the oscillators, filters, amp, and dual envelope generators to lend some additional analog vibe.

The powerful SH-style mixer now includes stereo functionality and offers signal routing options comparable to those of a modular synthesizer. Each source -- VCO-1, VCO-2A, VCO-2B, Ring Mod, and Noise -- is independently routable to the Voltage Controlled Filter (VCF), Bandpass Filter (BPF), or Voltage Controlled Amplifier (VCA), each with its own independent effects chain. SH-MAX includes 20 of Cherry Audio’s studio-quality effects that can be arranged and reused within its four effect chains.

SH-MAX builds upon and enhances the SH-series lineage by leveraging the strengths of software, making the entire experience accessible within a modern production environment. Play it as a classic mono or duophonic synthesizer, create layered sounds for earthshaking unison, or employ 16 voices of polyphony to produce rich chords that are just as impactful as its bass lines and leads. The Touch Effects panel features four assignable controls and supports polyphonic aftertouch, offering expressive performance capabilities that go beyond what was possible in the 1970s. SH-MAX also includes a four-channel step sequencer capable of running patterns of up to 16 steps in parallel or chaining them in 32 or 64-step cycles. And producers can get started immediately with over 300 presets that take full advantage of these features, designed to inspire.

Cherry Audio's SH-MAX is more than a software emulation of a single classic analog synth or even three of them. It's the fantastic fusion of a pioneering series of synthesis instruments that bridges over 50 years of electronic music innovation with the essential tools and sounds desired for today's modern music production.

    Fae Courts with High Intrigue
    Format: Kindle
    This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

    Slow, sorry but good
    Format: Kindle
    This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

    Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
    Format: Kindle
    Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

    Interesting
    Format: Kindle
    This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love. I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.

    OUTSTANDING
    Format: Kindle
    This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.
