One of the most significant improvements in the Memorymode over its hardware predecessor is its expanded polyphony and usability. While the original was limited to six voices, Cherry Audio’s version supports up to 16-voice polyphony. It also introduces a "Voice Ensemble" function, which allows users to thicken the sound even further by layering voices. Furthermore, the software includes a comprehensive modulation matrix and a robust effects section, featuring high-quality reverb, delay, and chorus, which were not present on the 1982 hardware.
For Windows users, Memorymode is well-optimized, running as a VST, VST3, or AAX plugin, as well as a standalone application. It is known for being relatively light on CPU resources despite its complex synthesis engine. By combining the soul of a vintage behemoth with the reliability and flexibility of modern software, Cherry Audio has created a tool that serves both as a historical archive and a contemporary workhorse for sound designers and composers alike.
