Cherry Audio Solovox v1.0.3.21 [WiN]

The Solovox, manufactured by Hammond between 1940 and 1950, was another classic instrument of the era. Based on the Novachord's oscillator and divider circuits, the Solovox with its 18 vacuum tubes was a small monophonic keyboard instrument attached beneath a piano keyboard and intended to augment it with organ-type lead voices. It consisted of two units: the three-octave mini keyboard, and a tone cabinet for the electronic sound generator, amplifier, and loudspeaker. Like the Clavioline and Ondioline, the Solovox produced a range of string, woodwind, and organ sounds and was widely used in light music from the 1940s and into the 1960s. Unfortunately, the introduction of compact transistor organs released in the 60s marked the end of the Solovox's popularity. 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. 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.
