This pack contains a fully refurbished Novachord instrument from around 1940. Famous for its creepy pads, the original was designed by organ supremo Laurens Hammond. It's basically a 72-note polyphonic subtractive synthesiser, but of course, it's rammed full of valves rather than transistors. Through painstaking sampling and editing, Hollow Sun have produced over 130 patches that capture the essence of the original. The sounds are at times reminiscent of string machines and sometimes of 60s organs like Farfisas but they're at their most distinctive when using the Novachord's own electromagnetic vibrato. Terrific stuff!

9/10

Cheers,


Steve

Totally well deserved. It's a wonderful library.
