I did a quick browse of this thread and made notes of people's favorites so far. To make this list, either someone said an instrument was their very favorite, one of their favorites, or they gave it glowing praise.

seems right, dreamsynth and MG1 for me. the free MG1 one I still use, Dreamsynth could use some gui love, but basicly a cool synth. The others I do not use/care for anymore. But I admit I stopped buying after the dreamsynth and its horrendous cpu-use in the begining, was fixed later, but I had already moved on. Never looked back, only for the MG1 that one is solid.

Dreamsynth is one of my favourite soft synths...
Very versatile with so many great possibilities and a lot of nice surprises....
I find it really fun to use and that's never a bad thing

Yes, and the bundle also includes their Stardust 201 Tape Echo.
Their Synthesizer Expander Module (Oberheim SEM) is also included, but that's always a freebie.
Cherry Audio Humble Bundle
Several other items are included, besides the Cherry Audio synths. It's a terrific bargain!

Got the bundle but I don't really understand the point of the Quadra with its 4 in one approach. Are you meant to use each module on splits or multi-timbrally or something?

This is unreal. I’ve already got Mercury 4 & Space Echo, but £21 and you can get Dreamsynth and Quadra Madness!!!!
I wonder what happens if I press this button...

Madness indeed. I already had Quadra and seriously don't need any more synths just now, but €18.60 for Dreamsynth and Mercury-4 with the space echo thrown in...

Picked up Dreamsynth because of the bundle, definitely a good synth, though I feel like Cherry Audio does this blanket oversampling to get the quality to be decent and it can often make their plugins very CPU intensive, and not quite fix the issue. For instance, you need to crank the oversampling all the way up to get audio rate filter modulation to sound OK, and then it only sounds OK. You can hear the sample rate beating against the note frequencies. I feel like other developers handle this in a more elegant way, like Synapse Audio. In Dune, you can just up the modulation refresh rate. (Though to be honest, it could go a bit higher)

I decided to pay $30 to give a little more, what a great bundle, happy to finally have Dreamsynth !
Quadra has some wicked sounds too, even Mercury 4 with a simpler layout can do quite a lot.
I love Cherry Audio synths.
Some of them need extra processing, I added Bassdude to some Quadra basses and wow blew my mind!
Also I like to use Hybrid Filter on some leads to give them more life.
If you aren't sure about Cherry Audio, listen to some videos on YT and go for it, great value for money, great fun to have !
