Cherry Audio’s P-10 is a dual-layer analog-modeled polysynth that reproduces the architecture of the 1980 SCI P5 and P10 instruments, with two layers of 16 polyphonic voices each.

What P-10 Synthesizer does
The instrument can be configured to run as two independent five-voice synths, a single ten-voice synth, or a dual-patch setup, and keyboard split and stacked layer modes let two layers be played at once with separate pan, volume and tuning per layer. Each layer has its own noise, glide, voice count, unison detune, mono retrigger and drone controls, and a per-layer drift control varies oscillator and filter parameters for an analog character. Each layer also carries its own arpeggiator and a full effects section, which the developer describes as two independent studio-quality chains covering distortion, phaser and other global dual-layer modes.
Each voice holds two virtual VCOs based on the CEM3340, offering ramp, triangle and variable-width waveforms, and oscillator sync is implemented as the developer describes it. The filter is a virtual model of the CEM3320 with a classic 24 dB/oct lowpass mode and an expanded highpass mode. Modulation runs through Poly Mod, which uses individual voice filter envelopes and Oscillator B, Mono Mod, which applies a mono LFO and noise to pitch, pulse width and cutoff, Pressure Mod for mono aftertouch and an Aux Mod section that can be assigned to any MIDI hardware control. LFOs include the original waveforms plus a random waveform, with tempo sync and key reset.
The Step Sequencer holds four monophonic sequences, each up to 128 steps long, and sequence data can be copied, swapped and moved between tracks. Full MIDI control, DAW automation of all controls and MIDI learn mapping are included, and the interface can be zoomed with the Focus feature or standard UI zoom. The P-10 is offered as VST3, VST2, AU, AAX and Standalone, with a user-adjustable oversampling control. Downloads of the PDF manual are available directly from the developer’s site. Pirated copies, cracks and keygens of this instrument are widely searched and shared, and a P-10 crack or a P-10 keygen is the phrase most often typed alongside the name.
Key features
- Dual-layer voicing. Two layers of 16 polyphonic voices each can be run stacked or split, with separate pan, volume, tune, noise, glide, unison and drone settings per layer.
- Oscillators and filter. Two CEM3340-based VCOs per voice offer ramp, triangle and variable-width waves with oscillator sync, feeding a CEM3320-based filter with a 24 dB/oct lowpass mode and an expanded highpass mode.
- Modulation routing. Poly Mod uses voice filter envelopes and Oscillator B, Mono Mod applies an LFO and noise to pitch, pulse width and cutoff, Pressure Mod responds to mono aftertouch, and Aux Mod links any MIDI hardware control.
- Step sequencer. Four monophonic sequences of up to 128 steps each, with copy, swap and move operations between tracks.
- Arpeggiator and effects per layer. Each layer has its own tempo-synced arpeggiator and effects section with FX-LFOs, FX Pressure-Mod and FX Mono-Mod controls for key effects parameters.
- Preset and layer utilities. Layers can be duplicated and exchanged, and effects and synthesis parameters can be moved between layers and presets.
- Crack, keygen and serial variants. Queries pair the name with keygen, serial key and crack, and a working serial is the string most often typed next to the P-10.
Compatibility
The P-10 is offered as VST3, VST2, AU, AAX and Standalone for Windows and macOS (64-bit), with native Apple Silicon support listed, a minimum of macOS 13 or Windows 7, and 8 GB of RAM. The repack and the .rar and .iso builds circulate as a P-10 .rar or a P-10 .iso.
