Soniccouture are very pleased to announce Novachord, their latest release.

The Novachord is a gargantuan, entirely tube based, 72 note polyphonic synthesizer with oscillators, filters, VCAs, envelope generators and even frequency dividers. Neither piano nor organ, its eerie, ethereal sound became a mainstay of  film and television soundtrack production. Gone with the WindThe Maltese Falcon,RebeccaHouse of FrankensteinThe Outer Limits and The Twilight Zone are just a few classics that feature Novachord as part of their soundtrack.

The Novachord sampled for this project was perhaps the most well known of all restored Novachords ; Phil Ciroccos. Phil is a highly regarded electronics engineer and synth designer from Georgia, USA. He runsCirocco Modular Synthesizers and has worked with many famous names, both artists and synth designers. Read the full account of the restoration, and all things Nova, on Phils website.

Novachord is priced €89 / USD 129
