First manufactured by the Hammond company in 1939, the Novachord was the world’s first polyphonic synthesizer and was used in many era recordings and soundtracks of the time. The Novachord contains 163 vacuum tubes and over 1,000 custom capacitors and boasts a divide-down oscillator architecture, allowing for 72-key polyphony alongside an early version of analog subtractive synthesis. The instrument is renowned for its ‘otherworldly’ sound, having been used for many horror and sci-fi genre productions, as well as still being used today in many classic film soundtracks.
The Solovox was also manufactured by Hammond, released between 1940 and 1950 as a small monophonic keyboard instrument. Also based on the Novachord’s oscillator and divider circuits, the Solovox was designed to be attached beneath a piano keyboard and was used widely in light music from the 1940s onwards. It featured 18 vacuum-tube Solovox and produced a range of string, woodwind and organ sounds, making it a versatile and powerful tool.
Thanks to Cherry Audio, you can now experience these legendary instruments with their stunning recreations. Utilising the exact same architecture as their predecessors, Cherry Audio has faithfully captured the original sound, feel and versatility of these two iconic pieces of equipment. With meticulously crafted controls and interfaces, you’ll be able to easily explore the capabilities of the Novachord and Solovox and discover a unique sound palette. With their modern-day versions, you can dive deep into the past and get lost in the unique, unearthly sounds of these remarkable instruments.
Cherry Audio has taken great care to ensure the Novachord and Solovox look and feel as close to the originals as possible. The Novachord’s interface is adorned with white Plakson and black Bakelite keys, teardrop rotary levers, and gorgeous cherry wood, taking you back in time. The Solovox features responsive vacuum tubes that light up and respond to settings, creating an incredible visual accompaniment to your performance.
