PRODUCER WEEK 2025: Cherry Audio’s latest virtual instrument, Yellowjacket, is a stunning value-packed tribute to the venerable Wasp synthesizer that was released by the British synth company EDP in 1978.
Cherry Audio has reproduced the singular buzzy tone and drone of this legendary monophonic, digital/analog hybrid, from its quirky oscillators to its distinctive filter.

Further influenced by the pioneering spirit of its inventors, we've added several innovative features to Yellowjacket, re-envisioning what could have been.
These include elements of other EDP instruments, unison and 16-voice polyphony, emulation of the Wasp's integrated speaker, an expanded multimode filter, and a new-to-Cherry advanced arpeggiator with probability and humanise controls.
Cherry Audio launched in 2018 and was assembled from an innovative group of developers, synthesizer designers, sound programmers, and musicians to turn a dream into reality. Our first product, Voltage Modular, was initially conceived in 2004 with the development of an innovative new alias-free analog modelling oscillator design.
Since then, Cherry Audio has evolved to offer an extensive catalog of over 30 high-quality, award-winning virtual instruments and effects like GX-80, Mercury-6, Stardust 201, CR-78, Rhodes Chroma, Harmonia, and more.
Many emulate beloved classic synthesizers with expanded features – such as our latest, Yellowjacket – while others are our own highly acclaimed and inventive original designs.
Our team diligently ensures that all of our products function intuitively, look amazing, and, most importantly, sound fantastic.
