Solina String Ensemble

The Behringer Solina String Ensemble is an authentic and loving recreation of the legendary string synthesizer of the 1970s. This classic instrument produced the lush, ethereal, and instantly recognizable string and brass sounds that defined countless records in genres like disco, funk, prog-rock, and ambient music. The Behringer Solina captures the pure analog soul of the original, utilizing classic divide-down oscillator technology and a faithful recreation of its iconic BBD chorus/ensemble effect. This desktop/Eurorack module makes it easy to add that timeless, swirling vintage string sound to any modern production.

The Solina is all about simplicity and iconic tone. It features dedicated instrument buttons for Violin, Viola, Cello, Contra Bass, Trumpet, and Horn, which can be layered to create rich and complex ensembles. The core of its magical sound lies in the classic BBD (Bucket Brigade Device) chorus effect, which provides that dreamy, animated, and spacious character. The controls are straightforward, with sliders for tuning, crescendo, sustain length, and volume. Behringer has also added a faithful recreation of the original's "Modulator" section, which is essentially a phaser effect that can be applied to the string sounds for even more vintage texture. With modern conveniences like MIDI and USB, the Solina String Ensemble is the perfect way to bring a piece of synthesis history into your studio.
