Novachord + Solovox

Two Golden Age Classics, One Low Price

Two early electronic devices that served as forerunners to contemporary synthesizers are emulated by the Novachord + Solovox set. Solovox imitates a comparable monophonic keyboard device meant to produce organ-style leads, but Novachord is based on the ground-breaking polyphonic instrument from 1939. These incredibly uncommon instruments established standards for tone synthesis and generating methods that are still used in modern electronic instruments.

Novachord + Solovox Features

Novachord + Solovox is a bundle of two individual instruments at one low price, provided as a separate downloads and installed in both standard DAW/host plugin and standalone formats.

Novachord

• 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

• 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
• 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
• 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 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
