Yellowjacket Synthesizer

Yellowjacket by Cherry Audio is a groundbreaking software synthesizer that faithfully emulates the legendary 1978 EDP Wasp. This virtual instrument captures the Wasp’s gritty, buzzy character and unique hybrid analog/digital architecture while injecting it with modern functionality and intuitive workflow enhancements. Whether you’re after nostalgic textures or cutting-edge sound design tools, Yellowjacket delivers a robust sonic experience at an incredible value.

From visual design to audio behavior, Yellowjacket embodies the essence of the original EDP Wasp—featuring its dual oscillator layout, state-variable filter, and distinctive tone-shaping capabilities. But Cherry Audio takes it further with contemporary features like per-note voice variations, enhanced modulation, advanced arpeggiation, and professional-grade effects. This blend of vintage authenticity and modern flexibility makes Yellowjacket ideal for producers seeking both retro character and futuristic creativity.
