System Requirements:
Windows: Windows 7 or above (including Windows 11), 64-bit required.

Cherry Audio’s Polymode sidesteps all of the drawbacks of the original instrument and massively expands its capabilities. And though the original Polymoog sounded incredible, it could be challenging to operate and was prone to breakdowns. One of the world’s first polyphonic synthesizers, its unique multiple parallel filter implementation and mod routings give it a sound like no other synth, include native support for Apple M1 processor.
