Novachord Features

• 32 polyphonic voices, synthesized not sampled

• Three Resonators: a resonant bandpass filter network operating consecutively in low (400 Hz), mid (800 Hz), high (2000 Hz) frequency ranges

• Deep Tone setting for the tone generator signal, with a one-pole (6dB per-octave slope) lowpass filter with a fixed frequency of 160 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

• Tones routed in parallel to all of the filters, processed and then summed together to create a composite tone

• Attack knob with seven Attack/Decay/Sustain envelope options, from Slow to Fast, with sustain-pedal controlled release (approximately3.5 seconds)

• Depth controlled vibrato with two options: Vibrato I as used in the earliest Novachord models, and Vibrato II as used in later Novachords

• Reverb effect with Room and Hall algorithms to emulate the standard Novachord amp and speaker combo

• 56 presets covering Basses, Keys, Pads, and Strings, by Director of Sound Design James Terris
