Cherry Audio have released Atomika, available for $49.00.
Cherry Audio is excited to announce the release of Atomika! This highly anticipated virtual instrument pays tribute to the legendary Polivoks synthesizer, manufactured in the former Soviet Union from 1982 to 1990. Cherry Audio’s Atomika faithfully recreates the unique character of the Polivoks while adding new filter options, full polyphony, an arpeggiator, integrated studio-quality effects, and more.
Designed in collaboration with award-winning DSP developer Mark Barton (GX-80, Miniverse, Pro Soloist), Atomika is a faithful emulation of the original duophonic analog synthesizer. The synthesizer retains the iconic Polivoks filter and enhances it with new controls like Starve, Filter Drive, and Amp Drive, as well as new highpass, notch, and peak response filter modes. Together, these radically extend Atomika’s already twisted sonic palette.
Atomika also boasts a powerful upgrade from duophonic to 16-voice polyphony. We’ve added unison oscillator stacking, expanded the LFO with more waveforms and incorporated velocity, tracking, aftertouch, pitch and mod wheel response, and glide options missing from the original hardware for enhanced performance possibilities.
Atomika’s second panel includes a versatile arpeggiator and four studio-quality effects — Phasor, Flange/Chorus, Echo, and Reverb — with a dedicated effects LFO for expanded parameter modulation. The stunning 3D user interface is immersive and customizable, with the options to display panel labels in the original classic text and a “hide keyboard” feature to maximize workspace.
Atomika provides users with a wide range of sonic options with over 350 carefully designed presets by Cherry Audio’s team of experienced sound designers. Its extensive MIDI mapping capabilities ensure smooth integration into any studio setup, offering a versatile and expressive synth plugin for all music producers. Priced at only $49, Atomika is an ideal choice for music producers looking to incorporate unique sounds from one of the world’s rarest synthesizers into their projects without breaking the bank.
Even more extraordinary sounds are available directly from Cherry Audio with the Chain Reactions for Atomika Preset Pack ($9.99, sold separately), featuring 100 more presets by talented sound designer James Dyson that explore Atomika’s atmospheric side through arpeggios, effects, modulation, and aftertouch.
