Cherry Audio – Trident v1.0.10.84 for WiN

The Trident Mk III synthesizer from Cherry Audio is an amazing virtual instrument that not only recreates the multitimbral capabilities and sound of the original Trident Mk I and Mk II hardware synthesizers, but also significantly expands them, offering an unprecedented combination of innovation and authenticity.

Cherry Audio has meticulously recreated every section of the original Trident hardware—the expansive synthesizer, the expressive brass, and the stirring strings—and enhanced the entire ensemble with new features. The number of voices in each section has been increased to 16, and they now support velocity sensitivity, aftertouch, and polyphonic aftertouch.
