Steppin' Out : Joe Jackson what a classic song by one of the most criminally underated singer/songwriters ever!! I've always loved him, his birthday is the same day as mine - big shout out to everyone born on August 11th (Especially the 1966 vintage!!)🙂 It was actually a Korg - KR55 which was used on that song!! There's a video on TH-cam from 2019 filmed at the London Palladium, during which Joe holds up and tells the audience about the KR55 prior to performing the classic song!! The drum machine is also featured in a picture of Joe, his backing band and his recording gear in the Night And Day CD booklet!! This CR78 does sound as good though!! Cool video, I loved it, but I'll stick with my actual CR78 which, despite it's age, is still in mint condition!! Keep up the great work!!
Sì, concordo, ha dei suoni fantastici e un'edizione così ampia e meravigliosa, si possono modificare così tanti parametri, è uno strumento meraviglioso, lo amo già. Saluti da Bass Fun ☺♥
Fantastic. While there are some free hacks of this machine, Cherry Audio did the usual and upped the game by adding features relevant to modern recording. Damn it. I must buy. I must buy. Thank you Cherry Audio!
This is absolutely the right direction to take for Cherry. Ahead of the curve which I'm glad to see is NOT yet another reverb, equaliser or tape delay! This goes hand in hand with the synths. I'm sure Cherry will get bombarded with wishful demands about all the other classic drum machines. Hopefully this will unfold in our favour with absolutely no prodding from we consumers! ;-) As I finished the install and got it going in Ableton, I had the widest smile as I played around. There's no doubt it triggered buried good vibes of using it in the late 70s and 80s and the strength of the 'product recognition' surprised me. What a great bit of kit, thanks Cherry!
@@fogvarious2478 I used Korg, Roland TR-909 and TR-505 in the early 80s. I can't play drums but I love to program the rhythm parts. I still have the last one...
One of the most underrated performers of the late 70s and 80s. I still regularly play his records - a great song writer, a bit like Paddy McAloon, another great talent!
Stepping Out originally used a Korg Rhythm 55 drum machine (Joe still has it and brought it out on tour a few years back). But the CR-78 is wonderful and I'm so happy that Cherry have made this instrument. Looking forward to grabbing it and playing with it!
This is awesome, but your comment reminds me that we also now need a KR 55 (also extensively used by Jean-Michel Jarre on his Magnetic Fields album) plus a Korg MiniPops for some instant Oxygene!
@@fraxis2007 Korg Minipops?? WOW!! I'd love one and they do turn up on Ebay from time to time but are way too expensive!! Kudos to you for being a fellow fan of the legend that is Jean M.J.
First the Behringer announcement and then this!! I just picked up this amazing VST and I couldn't possibly be happier. It sounds FANTASTIC... Considering that this is by far my favorite retro drum machine, I couldn't be happier with the all the attention it's getting this year! About damn time ❣But The Cherry Audio Twist sounds absolutely brilliant here. Thank you so much guys!
To hear these sounds as modelled synthesis rather than samples is refreshing for my ears. Samples are great of course but this sounds sensational and has the flexibility to edit in an authentic way giving a truly authentic sound that sampling can’t give you, in my experience anyway. After all, sound quality is the key for any plugin producing professional results.
This has to be the coolest, hippest drum machine ever made, next to the 808. Bravo Cherry Audio for bringing it back , and with a visually stunning likeness as well. Wow.
A fantastic instrument plugin! Once you have fun with all the presets and original patterns (drag & drop is the win) and programming a few patterns it can get really interesting in the edit and mixer pages (crank up that compressor). So much capability to move into un-charted territory. I loved working on this one with you guys. Cheers 👍
Great job on Heart of glass intro! Love this drum machine! And "In the air tonight" was amazing. You managed to carry the cool factor of the song!! NICE NICE NICE! Too bad the video ended before you reached the MAIN FULL ON drums build up that comes after "... so stranger to you and me".... !
Beyond lovely, he could be a trend-setter for an entire industry, but that's just Cherry audio being iconic and doing gear of golden, peak ages in music to a perfection. Obviously it's just taste, subjective, but I really like where he is going in terms of what he finds as great songs, iconic popular songs in the ages
Again a great review ! Fun, thorough and nice (presentation/video) style and format : good balance examples - explanation, hear what you show, (no strange hand movements - you all know those videos), and excellent voice use / audio quality. Never had a high opinion about the CR-78 - only the 909 / DMX / SP12 and especially the Linndrum were held in high regard - and was definitely not looking for a new (Drum Machine) Plugin. I think I'm in big trouble now, I managed to stay (new) plug-in sober for 18 months, but now I'm absolutely tempted !!
I can see where this is going with the advancement with this programming next either a TR505, TR808, TR606, Linn, DMX SCI Tom type machine. Visual step sequencer page although already would be a good edition. Already own many Cherry Audio renditions and still programming...LOVELY JUBBLY!!
Own the real deal with the tubbutec midi mod; each drum voice velocity sensitive. Foxx’s ‘Metamatic’ blew my teen mind upon its release waaaay back. CR78 through an MXR150 Phase shifter…. Bliss
This is great... I used to own a real one years ago & I bought this recently cause I like the Cherry 🍒 stuff, & this cr78 plug is modelled instead of sample based... It's definitely 90-95% very authentic & well done imo??? I like how the plug follows the look & ways of the OG design etc... & u added extras to it that does extend & compliment the OG pattet of sounds & features too. 😊
Utterly brilliant plug in - been waiting for years for something as good as this as this…well done Cherry peeps! And nice explanatory vid too….full marks!! ✅ JPMusic
Love these dusty old drum machines and not in a post ironic way. I just love the crude soft sound and they all respond to processing so well. They can be beefed up but I like their naked softness , dusty white noise , the phasing of overlapping frequencies. They are so charming.
Oh this sounds great! Thought that first track was AHA Take on me till you played chords! Great demo, definite buy for me , like how easy ut is to add variation
As usual. It wasn't planned to buy in my brain, but Tim and Cherry Audio made me change opinion. This is a very clever way to simulate a drum machine. At this point we all need similar replicas of TR727 or 808 and Linn!
Nice video. The first song from Joe Jackson "Stepping out" was actually recorded with the Korg KR-55 drummachine. It sounds somewhat similar to the CR-78, but not quite the same.
The CR-78 has a cameo appearance in the 1982 film “Liquid Sky” - one of the characters holds it under her arm as she sings “Me And My Rhythm Box” in a NYC nightclub.
Ohh I love this 😍 By the way, Sade's "War of the Hearts" is also a possible candidate for the list, I think it uses the same pattern as "Same Old Scene", just slower
Very punchy! Cherry kills again. I like my analog Cyclone TT-78, which isn’t an exact replica, it also has controls for editing the sounds and it sounds slightly different than the original 78 and this one; a bit tougher/more rugged. So really, I’d probably use them both, for different things. May need to pick this up.
@@blueeyedsoulman I never said is wasn’t. I was commenting on the songs he was playing that we were supposed to be guessing. But thanks for clarifying that.
This is awesome!! I love the sounds of the original CR-78 and frankly the samples Ive found have been underwhelming and dont have this kind of versatility. Cant wait to try this!
Great video as usual, after the funny hoax teaser! The Plug-in is magnificent! The stand alone mode is a must, as always! Go Cherry Audio!!! Greetings from Madrid City Spain!
The multy key pressing was very common back in the days on organs. You could do this on most rhythm machines. Just depended on how many fingers you were able to manage to get over 2 or more buttons. Not always gave something usefull, but actually quite cool. This is such a nice plugin since it done "right" with circuit emulation instead of just samples. Would be fun to see coupled with a simple old school "Auto accomp." with some old school analog bass and rhytmic instruments.
Just to add that a number of artists used that same rumba rhythm as on the Blondie song. Gary Numan (definitely on Remind Me To Smile from Telekon), and more than once, I think. Roxy Music - which you then featured! The original lineup Ultravox! (with the exclamation mark, before Midge Ure joined) might have as well. It's a great, iconic rhythm (I've used it in my own amateur stuff), and really feels "1980s", but can comfortably support a variety of musical styles. Not sure whether the artists all used the CR78. I assume not! Great piece of kit. I don't use a DAW (I'm old fashioned and still use hardware for recording), but as I always wanted a CR78 but couldn't afford one, I assume I could use this virtual drum machine to create a drum track, and then record it into a couple of tracks on my digital recorder. :-)
I have a cr78 I got on eBay for about $800 in nice good condition... I wish it had a built in midi to it to sync it to my synths.. now I gotta mod it. Great drum machine
Great intro to the instrument. Thanks. You forgot a very important purveyor of the drum boxes, one who definitely used the more than one pattern at a time concept, and also manipulated one live : Sly Stone! Was probably a unit before the 78, but definitely the same ideas and sounds
Really great run through. At last I can get my favourite drum machine. Was hoping Behringer would produce a hardware version. But cherry have probably destroyed their sales. It's easier and better than any hardware. My only thoughts I would have preferred a matrix grid for editting. Great idea for the instant midi export. Something that is perfect for Ableton.
"Steppin' Out" by Joe Jackson was a Korg Rhythm 55 (KR-55) drum machine and is pictured (along with all the other equipment used on the album) on Night & Day inner gatefold. Also, The Cars' used a CR-78 on "Double Life" on Candy-O not "Shoo Be Do".
Wow wow. These are the best genres in the world, before Y2k, RnB and 90's house techno and amen breaks took over, imo. But this, this era and iconicness is is the best (one of the best). Would love for Adele to do this type of music, I like this more than rock and country or even RnB. This, this is just iconic, these rhythm genres, these tempos, the drum tracks.
Synth Stacks include all instruments up to and including the time of release (Synth Stack 4, Nov 2023). This may be added to a future Synth Stack but is not part of Synth Stack 4
Just had an iconic question about setting the tempo on this iconic software drum machine. Is there a way to set the tempo via digital readout on this iconic machine or are we stuck with that big analog "Tempo" button only? For example, the tempo for that iconic fourth song, written by that super iconic recording artist, should be @ an iconic 95bpm. How can you be sure you're set at that iconic 95bpm for that super, super iconic song? Thanks!
The Host Sync switch locks to the same tempo as your DAW. Otherwise (Host Sync off), dial it in on the Tempo knob or double-click it to enter the precise BPM
Demo does seem fun so far. Maybe I’m missing something, but I wish Cherry would include init patches in their software. Once you start making changes there doesn’t seem to be a way to get back to the default, freshly installed “factory” settings (unless you remember to create your own init preset).
Hope I'm understanding your question correctly... any sound/mixer/effects edits "stick" as you change patterns with the front panel factory and user beats, but there isn't a way to globally edit or lock sounds when you change presets using the main preset browser (purple strip at the top).
@@CherryAudiovst Great, i bought it yesterday - but i cannot for the life of me figure out how to actually record any audio (or midi) out of the plugins interface, it is driving me insane, how do i acually press start on a beat and just get that from the plugin in the DAW to the tracks???? im ready to give up - i dont want to use any digital or physical routing, there must be a way to output it cleanly in the DAW surely?
@@DanielS10291 that's a function of which DAW you are using, but you may find some help in the online user guide: docs.cherryaudio.com/cherry-audio/instruments/cr-78/getting-started .

If you need more assistance, feel free to drop our Support team a line, and let them know which DAW you're using
14:41 such a shame that Cherry Audio did not make the contrast between bar 2 and bar 3 higher contrast. People with color vision deficiency, like me, have a hard time distinguishing the colors of bar 2 and bar 3. It would be such a small change, and would have made the interface much more accessible. The plugin looks amazing otherwise, looks like a lot of fun!
Not surprised. I could feel it coming in the air tonight.

Just had an iconic question about setting the tempo on this iconic software drum machine. Is there a way to set the tempo via digital readout on this iconic machine or are we stuck with that big analog "Tempo" button only? For example, the tempo for that iconic fourth song, written by that super iconic recording artist, should be @ an iconic 95bpm. How can you be sure you're set at that iconic 95bpm for that super, super iconic song? Thanks!
The Host Sync switch locks to the same tempo as your DAW. Otherwise (Host Sync off), dial it in on the Tempo knob or double-click it to enter the precise BPM
Demo does seem fun so far. Maybe I’m missing something, but I wish Cherry would include init patches in their software. Once you start making changes there doesn’t seem to be a way to get back to the default, freshly installed “factory” settings (unless you remember to create your own init preset).

Hope I'm understanding your question correctly... any sound/mixer/effects edits "stick" as you change patterns with the front panel factory and user beats, but there isn't a way to globally edit or lock sounds when you change presets using the main preset browser (purple strip at the top).
Wonderful walkthrough! My biggest question though: What electric guitar sound is used in your slight variation of "Stepping Out"?
Thanks 🙏 The guitar is a stock sound from my beaten up old Motif kbd.
Do you know what drum machine was used in “I’m Your Boogie Man”?
Sold!
Was wondering if you could press down more than one button.
Yes, select the first pattern as usual, then shift-click the second one
The year i started using synth. Korg ps3000
Can you use/program individual notes in midi or does it just give you different patterns within the plugin interface?
You can create and save your own custom patterns
@@CherryAudiovst Great, i bought it yesterday - but i cannot for the life of me figure out how to actually record any audio (or midi) out of the plugins interface, it is driving me insane, how do i acually press start on a beat and just get that from the plugin in the DAW to the tracks???? im ready to give up - i dont want to use any digital or physical routing, there must be a way to output it cleanly in the DAW surely?
@@DanielS10291 that's a function of which DAW you are using, but you may find some help in the online user guide: docs.cherryaudio.com/cherry-audio/instruments/cr-78/getting-started . See the specific sections on "Using CR-78 Multi-Out Version" and "Using CR-78 as a DAW MIDI Sound Module." If you need more assistance, feel free to drop our Support team a line, and let them know which DAW you're using
14:41 such a shame that Cherry Audio did not make the contrast between bar 2 and bar 3 higher contrast. People with color vision deficiency, like me, have a hard time distinguishing the colors of bar 2 and bar 3. It would be such a small change, and would have made the interface much more accessible. The plugin looks amazing otherwise, looks like a lot of fun!
Not sure how to create a song from my user presets. Any advice most welcome. :)
