Two Golden Age Classics, One Low Price

The Novachord + Solovox bundle 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.

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-octaveslope) 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 (approximately 3.5 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

●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

Standards 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
