Plugin ideas

[JAnon]

After Novachord + Sonovox, where can Cherry Audio go next?

Here's a (very long) list of suggestions/ideas for plugins.

Instruments:

- Keyboards/Organs:
-- RMI 300(A/B)/368(X)/68D Electra-Piano; Rock-Si-Chord 100A | fully electronic pianos, use oscillators to make sound
-- Vox Continental/Jaguar; Farfisa Compact; Elka Panther 300/Capri | transistorized organs, much lighter than tonewheel Hammond organs
-- Philips Philicorda | electric organ, Philips' first entry into musical instruments
-- Fender Contempo Organ | transistorized organ, had more features/stops/controls than other organs of that time
-- Wurlitzer 100/200(A) | electric pianos; sound generated by striking a metal reed with a hammer, which induces an electric current in a pickup

- Synths:
-- Solina String Ensemble | multi-orchestral string synth; uses organ-style divide-down technology for full polyphony, has a distinctive sound due to built-in chorus effect
-- Korg Lambda ES-50 | fully-polyphonic preset synthesizer, uses two types of sounds: percussive (acoustic piano, electric piano, clavi, harmonics) and ensemble (brass, organ, choir/chorus, two types of strings)
-- ARP Pro Soloist/DGX | preset-based monophonic synthesizers; Pro/DGX has electronic switching (touch buttons) between its preset sounds, while Pro Soloist has circuit-based switching (rocker switches)
-- Dubreq Stylophone | pocket-sized monophonic synth, played using stylus
-- Fender/Rhodes Chroma (Polaris) | analog subtractive synth designed by ARP Instruments before its demise, one of the earliest microprocessor-controlled analog synths

- Drum/rhythm machines:
-- Korg Mini Pops 120/Univox SR-120 | solid-state rhythm machine, last and most advanced unit in the Mini Pops range
-- Maestro Rhythm King MRK-I/II/III/IV | line of analog rhythm machines made by Gibson; MRK-II was declared a funk box by Sly Stone, used on countless songs ("Where Are We Going?" by Marvin Gaye, "Rock Your Baby" by George McCrae, various records by Stone)
-- Hammond Auto-Vari 64 | rhythm machine made by Ace Tone (predecessor of Roland) for Hammond; features 16 rhythms, with four variations for each one
-- Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer | influential and legendary drum machine; allowed users to program rhythms, famously used by Afrika Bambaataa and the Soul Sonic Force on "Planet Rock" and by Marvin Gaye on "Sexual Healing"
-- Roland CompuRhythm CR-78 | analog rhythm machine; first rhythm machine to use a microcontroller and one of the first to allow users to program and store their own drum patterns, used famously by Phil Collins on "In the Air Tonight"

Effects:

- Reverbs/delays:
-- EMT 140 Reverberation Unit | first plate reverb, smoother and more natural than spring reverbs
-- Binson Echorec | Italian-made echo unit, uses an analog magnetic drum recorder instead of a tape loop
-- Carlsbro Mantis | British-made analog bucket-brigade delay, inspired by the Watkins Copicat and the Echorec

- Distortion/overdrive/fuzz:
-- Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi | iconic fuzz/sustainer pedal, used on countless records by Jimi Hendrix and Carlos Santana
-- Maestro FZ-1 Fuzz-Tone | first widely-marketed fuzz pedal, inspired by the sound of the baritone guitar solo on Marty Robbins' "Don't Worry"
-- Boss DS-1 Distortion | legendary distortion pedal by Boss, one of the most popular and most affordable distortion pedals

- Phasers/flangers/choruses
-- Maestro PS-1A Phase Shifter | analog phaser designed by Tom Oberheim, used by Ernie Isley for his lead guitar tone on the Isley Brothers' "That Lady"
-- Electro-Harmonix Small Stone | four-stage phaser designed by David Cockerell, uses operational transconductance amplifiers
-- MXR Model 126 Flanger/Doubler | analog flanger unit, uses bucket-brigade devices to create short signal delays that can be modulated
-- Morley MOD–SCV Stereo Chorus/Vibrato | rare stereo chorus, can also function as a vibrato pedal
-- Boss CE-1 Chorus Ensemble | legendary analog chorus, one of the most recognizable pedals of its kind
-- Roland Dimension D | classic stereo chorus unit, used by Nile Rodgers and David Bowie
-- TC Electronic Stereo Chorus/Flanger | analog chorus, the first effect produced by TC Electronic
-- Roland Revo 30 | digital/solid-state rotary speaker unit, emulates the sound of Leslie rotary speakers
