Cherry Audio Yellowjacket Overview

The Cherry Audio Yellowjacket is a synthesizer plugin, serving as a tribute to the Wasp, originally developed by British company EDP in 1978. The Cherry Audio Yellowjacket is built for producers and synth enthusiasts who want the character of vintage gear with the flexibility of modern features. Based on the iconic 1978 EDP Wasp, this plugin captures the raw, buzzy hybrid tone of the original while adding expanded creative tools. Its advanced arpeggiator includes probability and humanise controls for more natural rhythmic variation, while multi-voice modes unlock layered textures, chord triggering, and stereo movement. Encompassing a virtual pressure-sensitive keyboard, Yellowjacket supports polyphonic aftertouch for dynamic, expressive play, and the built-in speaker emulation brings a gritty charm to your sound. With over 270 presets curated by industry veterans, Yellowjacket delivers instant inspiration for producers looking to break away from typical soft synth tones.

Vintage character with a modern twist

Yellowjacket faithfully recreates the tone and feel of the original 1978 EDP Wasp synthesizer. It includes key design details like quirky digital oscillators, a gritty multimode filter, and even an emulation of the original's built-in speaker. But it doesn't stop there, Cherry Audio has expanded the capabilities with polyphony, extended modulation, and stereo processing. These updates offer the character of vintage gear with the reliability and flexibility of today’s production tools.

Expressive control built in

The touch-sensitive yellow-and-black keyboard isn't just for show. It supports pressure control with both channel and polyphonic aftertouch, opening up expressive options often missing in vintage-inspired plugins. Whether you want subtle modulation shifts or dramatic pitch bends per note, Yellowjacket responds to how you play. Built-in support for diatonic scales and transposition also helps streamline melodic work without locking you into rigid structures.

Flexible sound-shaping and performance tools

Yellowjacket includes a newly designed arpeggiator with probability and humanise features, helping you create less mechanical, more natural patterns. Multi-voice modes add further depth, allowing you to stack “mini synths” for single-finger chords, tone variations, or wide stereo effects. Whether you're building rich textures or punchy basslines, these features give you more tools to shape unique, playable patches quickly.

Over 270 ready-to-use presets

Instantly explore Yellowjacket’s sound with over 270 factory presets, crafted by a seasoned team of designers including James Terris and Drew Schlesinger. Whether you’re working on electronic, ambient, or synthpop tracks, you’ll find tones that are ready to drop into a mix or customise to your liking. There’s also the option to expand with the Hive Mind preset pack, offering 100 additional sounds for deeper exploration.

Reviews

"YellowJacket is a classy performer, with a sound which has an edge, making it perfect for contemporary production, while being a curio for anyone who remembers these from their younger years. " - MusicRadar

"Do not underestimate the power and versatility of the Yellowjacket! There are many gems hidden under that skin. It can “hover like a butterfly and sting like a bee”. Truly exceptional!" - Jezz Woodroffe – Film Composer / Pianist (Black Sabbath, Robert Plant)

"Yellowjacket is raw. Yellojacket is dirty! Yellowjacket stings for sure. As usual, a wonderful selection of usable and great-sounding presets. The arp and effects page offers so much more in the realms of possibilities and sonic pleasures. A truly wonderful product." - Phil Bennett – Keyboardist (Starship)

"I wasn’t expecting it to sound so lush. This will definitely be getting some use on future Tycho Brahe songs." - Ken Evans – Musician, Producer (Tycho Brahe, Peter Hook & The Light)

"Yellowjacket is really good. The FX section really adds to the vibe and makes it more than just an emulation." - Steve Levine – Grammy and Brit award-winning record producer, songwriter and engineer (Culture Club, The Beach Boys, Millie Jackson, Deniece Williams)
