Cherry Audio Quadra User Guide - 1
The Cherry Audio Quadra is a super-accurate and immensely improved
emulation of the ARP Quadra synthesizer, originally released in 1978. It’s
something of a unicorn instrument in that they’re rare, not only because ARP
didn’t produce a lot of them, but also because many have been scrapped
over the years as a result of their inherent unreliability. That said, the Quadra
has developed something of a cult following because they were frequently
used by Genesis keyboardist Tony Banks, and the late jazz legend, Joe
Zawinul. And Quadras look super cool, in a here-come-the-neon-80s kind of
way.(For the trainspotters, you can also find a Quadra wedged between
Mickey Thomas's mustache and acres of leather in Jefferson Starship's
impressively corny "Find Your Way Back" video.)
The Quadra was conceived at a time when ARP was on the verge of
bankruptcy, largely due to the Avatar, a not-ready-for-prime-time and thus,
poorly selling guitar synth. Though ARP made their name on monophonic
synths and poly “string” synth instruments, it was clear that polyphonic
instruments with instantly recallable patch storage were the way of the
future, as illustrated by the wildly successful Sequential Circuits Prophet-5.
But instead of putting their noses to the grindstone and developing an

instrument that could go head-to-head with the Prophet-5, ARP took the
cheap/easy way out and essentially combined a few existing instruments in
one box - the Omni II, a glorified string ensemble, the Solus dual-oscillator
monosynth, and a rudimentary bass synth. These were (sort of) controlled by
an underpowered 8048 microprocessor. We say “sort of,” because its primary
function was to manage the Quadra’s 16 patch storage locations, but the
patch storage implementation is so ill-conceived and poorly executed, it’s
hard to imagine how it made it out of R&D*. Adding insult to injury, the
colorful flat “touch” buttons that were all the rage in the late-70s and early-
80s were prone to not working, the chassis tended to flex, and the keyboard
jutted out from the front of the instrument a few inches, making it very easy
to break keys.
While we’re slugging a synth while it’s already down, another issue: The
Prophet-5, and other programmable polys that followed soon thereafter were
what’s known as “voice assign” instruments - essentially multiple
monophonic synths under the hood, controlled by advanced
microprocessors. This allowed each note to have its own independent filter
and amplitude envelope curve (imagine a bunch of typical “weoooww" synth
notes, each producing their own little “weeooowww” cycle as they’re played).
Prior to the advent of the computer-controlled voice-assign instruments of
the late 70’s, polyphonic synths and string machines were far more primitive,
and would typically have just one filter and envelope generator that affected
all
notes played. This wasn’t too bad for sustained string or organ-type
sounds, but the lack of individual note articulation was less than ideal for
plucked sounds such as pianos, clavs, or the “weeoooow” sweep described
above. The Quadra’s Poly Synth and Strings sections both made use of
antiquated “paraphonic” organ/string machine technology, thus, no
individually articulated notes.
So why would anyone in their right mind want this thing? A couple of
reasons... to begin with, ARP had the good sense to incorporate a great-
sounding phaser, and the Quadra allowed independent routing of the bass,
strings, poly synth, or lead synth sections through it. And although the four
synth sections weren't stupendous on their own, the ability to use all four at
once (in various split or layered iterations) enabled large and unique tones
that would be hard to create on other instruments. Did we mention that
Quadras look really cool too?
