The Sleeper Has Awakened
Mercury-6 is a meticulous recreation of the Jupiter-6 analog synthesizer, just in time for its 40th anniversary! Sandwiched between the earlier Jupiter-4 and Jupiter-8 models in name only, the sophisticated Jupiter-6 has sometimes been considered a sleeper release. These days, it has persevered to become one of Roland's most notable and coveted classic synthesizers due to its distinctive dark and complex character. Mercury-6 captures all that is exceptional in this treasured polyphonic classic, boosts its extraordinary feature set for today's DAW production and workflow, and celebrates the ground-breaking innovation from the era that changed music forever.

If you've long yearned to explore the Jupiter-6, you'll love Mercury-6!



Mercury-6 Features

Highly optimized, massive dual-layer voicing architecture with 16 polyphonic voices per layer. Keyboard split or stacked layer modes allow two simultaneously playable layers, with separate per-layer controls for all parameters, including effects

Two VCOs per voice with combined waveform capabilities: triangle, ramp sawtooth, noise, and square or variable pulse

Multimode filter with a 24 dB/oct lowpass, 24 dB/oct highpass, or 12 dB/oct bandpass modes

Accurate reproduction of the original's advanced VCO-2 to VCO-1 FM cross-modulation for searing tones

Precisely implemented portamento and glissando modes

Exactingly replicated arpeggio section with MIDI tempo sync, the hidden Down/Up mode of the original, and the addition of a Random mode

Powerful solo and polyphonic unison modes for fat, stacked sounds

Two tempo-syncable LFOs with extended retrigger functionality

Per-layer drift control for oscillators and filter frequencies for authentic analog character

Single-key chord memory mode

Over 500 presets, created by a talented team of sound design veterans, easily accessible in a convenient preset browser

Panel Control for selecting layer controls, including extensive utility functions for duplicating and exchanging synthesis and effects parameters between layers and presets.

Studio-quality integrated effects: distortion, 4/8/12 stage phaser, flanger/chorus, three types of delay with sync, and four types of reverb, with easy-to-access global or layer settings

Complete MIDI control and DAW automation for all controls, with easy-to-use MIDI learn and mapping (Preset and Global)

Cherry Audio's popular Focus zoom-in feature, as well as standard UI zoom and resize via drag

Complete documentation available directly online from the instrument or in downloadable PDF format

Highly optimized coding for optimal performance with ultra-low CPU load, and multithreaded processing for presets using Split and Layer modes

User-adjustable oversampling control

A witch says,

After playing many presets, it starts
causing metallic noise rondomly. This
also happens in legit version. Not a
cracking related issue.

Once you decide which preset you use,
save project and restart the DAW. This
would avoid those annoying issue.

Pretty well, from the YouTube comparison videos I heard (and my experiences of playing the hardware.)

Strictly speaking, I don't think it's accurate enough. I hope Roland Cloud feels obligated to come out with a proper one.

But all the people who are easy to please are happy because it gets at least 3/4 of the way there. I think it might be better than their attempts at the Memorymoog and Jupiter-4 though.

while detecting the "change", the plugin deletes
AppData\Roaming\CherryAudio\Mercury-6-20230309\Plugin\plugindatafile

restore the file, and the standalone works again.
the interesting thing: in vsthost the plugin works!
logexcerpt from a reason run:
12:47:01.787 Host = Reason
12:47:01.787 Host Path =C:\Program Files\Reason Studios\Reason 11\Reason.exe

and from vsthost:
12:44:40.949 Host = Unknown
12:44:40.949 Host Path =C:\Program Files\vsthostx64_1.57\vsthost.exe

I copied the file after installation, back it up and set the file to read-only. The Standalone works but the VST3 version doesn't. screenshot

well, can play with it, while waiting for a new fix by R2R.
It makes no sense to say you’re not good at it. It’s like saying, “I’m not good at being a monk.” You are either living as a monk or you’re not.

Exactly this. Standalone works fine. VST2 and 3 both no good.

Not bad, it might be more close to the target than Memorymode / Mercury-4 was. But I'm always cautious around Cherry. Would rather see a Roland Cloud one (ofc with some R2R love applied).

It's a shame there's a noise bug.. Thx R2R.

young generation of Youtubers, tik-tokers, and spotifiers wont notice any difference or even care if its hardware or good emulated or not...they just wanna twerk and get wasted...me thinks....you know, only the pro's care. And thats good.
But R2R always take care of business and there will be a repack or fix....

Everything worked fine the first time I ran it, but after a few times, I got a red warning with a bomb placed on it and hoped that R2R would release a fix.

anyway its better to wait until Cherry Audio releases a metallic-noise-free version and after that some R2R treatment.

That synth is from 1954 have you something for house music in 2010-2020 ?

Jupiter-6 was released in 1985.

I see that you're new here. You do know that downloads aren't compulsory, right?

Close but no Cigar.
I'm Running Reason 12 and I too get the Red Bomb with Grids behind in GUI, but the standalone works just fine.
Thr standalone only works if I don't try the VSTi versions....it does the Red GUI error if I do.
R2R will fix this soon....from what I've heard so far it's a nice sound...not sure if it sounds like my old Jupiter 6 as that was 40 years ago!!
  Member 16.07.2014 283

No it won't sound like your old Jupiter 8, the JP6 is very different sounding.

The fix on my end is to run it with admin rights. I use SaviHOST / win7. In both cases the plugindatafile file is not deleted.

hey Ibu, would you be so kind & look into your log? search for "host". does it say host=unknown or host=savihost? as an example please take a look at my other post. many thanks!
  Member 26.03.2021 31

here is the log:
20:13:07.274 Instance type = VST
20:13:07.274 Host = Unknown
20:13:07.274 Host Path =C:\Users\moi\Desktop\host64.exe
20:13:07.274 Executable Path = F:\audio\Cherry Audio\Mercury-6\Mercury-6.dll

works in savihost without admin rights necessary. only works when the vst can't detect the host.

I ended up deleting all Cherry Audio, they're cool and all but if you have Arturia, correct me if i'm wrong, the integration with NKS, GUI as well, sounds, patches, Arturia just takes the cake on these vintage synths, no?

No Jupiter-6 by Arturia, and Jupiter-6 is very different from Jupiter-8.
Its sound is sharper than the JP8 and the features are different.

i'm talking about as a whole on their range of instruments. Cherry doesn't hold a fire to Arturia

Personally for me, I find Arturia's synth offerings, while technically correct and skeumorphic, the sound always feels sterile. We can always fix that but should we have to?

Mercury-6 Version History


Build 85 (3/9/2023)

The Jupiter-6 will steal voices, but only when the sustain pedal is down. Mercury-6 now emulates that behavior.

Seems that it's not properly cracked. Hope R2R will fix it soon.

Still no working version?
