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

[@AlexReidStudios]

Thank you! Happy to be helpful :)

[@docjoesweeney]

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.

[@AlexReidStudios]

That sounds great! Have fun :)

[@buckycore]

This thing is MONSTEROUS. WOW. This is litterally their best synth

[@docjoesweeney]

Great review! And what a crisp big sound. You've made some awesome patches.

[@AlexReidStudios]

Thank you! It's a great synth

[@Justin.Franks]

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.

[@AlexReidStudios]

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

[@MrTroposphere]

Jus got your pack, xlnt audio design. Gr8 vid too btw

[@AlexReidStudios]

Thank you! Glad you liked the sounds :)

[@synthlife81]

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]

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

[@Cefshah]

Awesome video as usual, Alex!! I'll have to come and get this synth/presets soon!! Peace/health to you and yours!! 🙂💛

[@AlexReidStudios]

Thank you! To you too! Have fun when testing the instrument :)

[@GillamtheGreatest]

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

[@AlexReidStudios]

I'm on rehab, but I still used it

[@GillamtheGreatest]

@@AlexReidStudios what is the rehab protocol for galactic reverb?

[@cristianvaldezosorio7822]

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

[@AlexReidStudios]

Still prefer the GX-80, but this one is close!

[@scottlarock7924]

Honestly, that's a fair starting price.

[@OscarSlapp]

Clean your mask 👍🏿

[@AlexReidStudios]

Lol, yeah it's a bit old too, gotta make a new one

[@jensschettler1732]

Why you have that mask? Are you searched by FBI or Something?

[@soulwarfare]

Do you have a Scottish father? Alex reid sounds like a Scottish name

[@AlexReidStudios]

Haha not really

[@Beatsbasteln]

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

[@AlexReidStudios]

To be fair, Rhodes Chroma was first.

[@Beatsbasteln]

@@AlexReidStudios wasn't rhodes chroma released yesterday or so?

[@AlexReidStudios]

@@Beatsbasteln I mean the real 1981 synth haha

[@Beatsbasteln]

@@AlexReidStudios I guess that was there before Chroma^^ but still I wouldn't want to have multiple plugins with the same name in my plugin folder. it could cause bugs in some DAWs

[@cristianvaldezosorio7822]

​@@Beatsbasteln in this case at least one is a synth and other is an effect
