The Novachord + Solovox collection emulates two early electronic instruments that were precursors of modern synthesizers.
Novachord is based on the revolutionary polyphonic instrument from 1939, while Solovox replicates a related monophonic keyboard instrument intended to provide organ-style leads.
These exceedingly rare instruments set standards for tone generation and synthesis techniques that continue to influence today’s electronic instruments.
Features
- Novachord Features
- 32 polyphonic voices, synthesized not sampled
- Three Resonators: a resonant bandpass filter network operating consecutively in low (400 Hz), mid (800 Hz), high (2000 Hz) frequency ranges
- Deep Tone setting for the tone generator signal, with a one-pole (6dB per-octave slope) lowpass filter with a fixed frequency of 160 Hz
- Brilliant Tone setting for the tone generator signal, with a one-pole (6dB per-octave slope) highpass filter with a fixed frequency of 2000 Hz
- Full Tone setting controls the amplitude of the dry (no filters applied) tone generator signal
- Tones routed in parallel to all of the filters, processed and then summed together to create a composite tone
- Attack knob with seven Attack/Decay/Sustain envelope options, from Slow to Fast, with sustain-pedal controlled release (approximately3.5 seconds)
- Depth controlled vibrato with two options: Vibrato I as used in the earliest Novachord models, and Vibrato II as used in later Novachords
- Reverb effect with Room and Hall algorithms to emulate the standard Novachord amp and speaker combo
- 56 presets covering Basses, Keys, Pads, and Strings, by Director of Sound Design James Terris
- Solovox Features
- Faithful virtual analog emulation of the monophonic 'keyboard attachment' instrument
- Combinable Bass/Tenor/Contralto/Soprano switches to set note range in octaves, like modern synthesizer footage settings
- First Voice and Second Voice two-pole bandpass filters with level controls and variable center frequencies of 400 Hz and 800 Hz, respectively
- Deep Tone setting for the tone generator signal, with a one-pole (6dB per-octave slope) lowpass filter with a fixed frequency of 200 Hz
- Adjustable Glide and fixed-rate Vibrato
- Mute control to filter harmonics from the oscillator voice
- Reverb effect with Room algorithm to replicate the standard Solovox amp and speaker combo
- Glowing vacuum tubes respond to the volume setting of each filter
- 50 presets covering Basses, Strings, Leads, and Woodwinds, by Director of Sound Design James Terris
- Standard Features for Both Instruments
- 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
- User-adjustable oversampling control
- Novachord + Solovox are each available in AU, VST, VST3, AAX, and standalone formats
