Solicito Musica has announced the release of Solinoid, a virtual vintage orchestral synthesizer inspired by the Eminent/Arp Solina hardware synth.
Solinoid models orchestral instruments and other sounds by means of vintage analog architecture, using the typical 1970s/1980s methods to achieve them.
Solicito Musica says special attention was paid to design the Ensemblex effect. Certain controls were added to the traditional ensemble model to expand its sound possibilities.
The first objective was to synthesize string ensembles in the vintage way. Thus I rediscovered the capabilities of that old technology, whose charm continues captivating over the years despite its limitations. Then I took advantage those resources to generate an additional variety of sounds.
The second objective was to show the sensation of spatiality of the ensemble effect despite being monoural. That is why this VSTi has a mono output, like the evoked original. The user is free to add to it, if preferred, any stereo effects.
Features:
- 1 monophonic oscillator.
- 1 polyphonic oscillator.
- 1 LFO.
- 3 filters.
- Keyboard Split function.
- Ensemble chorus effect with vintage BBD emulation ("Bucket Brigade Device", an electronic component for delay and chorus devices, like the Ensemble effect).
Solinoid is available for free from Solicito Musica's website.
