But SH MAX is far from a simple first time emulation of these classic instruments in software.

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.

    amazing.
    Item Package Quantity: 4, Size: Queen
    WOW. I was really skeptical, but the other reviews are spot on: these are amazing firm pillows. I really hope they don't lose their firmness and become lumpy like other pillows tend to do. Excellent pillows for the price!!

    These are very thick pillows.
    Item Package Quantity: 2, Size: Queen
    Exactly as advertised. They are very firm and very thick. They're too thick for me to be able to use as bed pillows. However, they seem to work pretty well as cushions in my papasan chair on top of its normal cushion also work very well as decorative pillows. I'm still giving them four stars because they're exactly as advertised and they seem well made. My only complaint is that they're just too thick. And that's definitely not the fault of the pillows or the pillow maker.

    Lightweight, very smooth and comfortable comforter sheet set an a very attractive price
    Color: Ivory, Size: Queen, Color: Ivory, Size: Queen
    Such a well priced, attractive bed in a bag (comforter and sheet set) with the most lightweight comforter I have ever come across that is not a down comforter. This one is filled with 100% polyester with a 100% microfiber exterior. The sheets are called microfiber, which I am sometimes not a fan of as sometimes they feel too stretchy and hot. However, these feel good, and almost more like a smooth percale. It’s nice to the touch. Color is attractive in a clean ivory color. Going back to the comforter, I love the lightness of natural down, but somehow I have developed a sensitivity to the feathers which make me sneeze. This one can easily be thrown into the washer and dryer and feels equivalently light as my down comforters. It weighs in at slightly over a pound (though I could only carry it onto the scale) and I absolutely love the lightness of it. I did wash it in the washer and dried it in a dryer on normal heat. Came out with no wrinkles and very fluffy. Five stars!

    Nice Comforter, Thin Sheets
    Color: Blue, Size: Queen, Color: Blue, Size: Queen
    I bought this comforter set for my guest bedroom, and the price was great. It’s really pretty and fits the bed perfectly. It includes a comforter, a sheet set with pillowcases, and two pillow shams. It arrived vacuum-sealed, when I opened it, I was impressed by how soft it felt—just right for a comforter. It seems like it will be warm yet cooling at the same time, and I love its thickness. The only downside was the sheet set. While the comforter is fluffy and cozy, the sheets felt cheap—very thin—and I prefer them thicker. They’re labeled 100% polyester but are just too thin for my taste. If you’re not picky about sheets, this set would be perfect. They are soft, just not thick enough. Overall, I really like the comforter, but I’ll use my own sheets because of the thinness of the included ones. I would have given it five, but the sheets bring it down to four.
