DESCRIPTION

So this is an attempt at a Novachord emulation. It is in the test area, as it does not (yet?) sound like a Hammond Novachord. Though it does have 72 voice polyphony. It's a bit CPU heavy right now as well. Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated. Also, if anyone feels like taking a stab at it themselves and modifying the tracks I have laid out, feel free.

Cheers!

*edit*
So I adjusted the frequencies of the resonant filters, and a few other things, and I think it's starting to sound much closer to the real thing. So I moved the synth from the test area to the synth area. I will continue to update this as I make improvements, hopefully on CPU! Of course, any suggestions are appreciated!

Wow, this is pretty good. But as you said, it's kind of CPU intensive. I've got 28% on a 16GB i7 quadcore PC. Keep up the good work.

If you suffer occasional "processor overload" in reaktor ? May I suggest you download; "Hammond Novachord (Low CPU Version) v1.0" instead.

can you post the reduced CPU version?

This is a very cool project. I've been tinkering with it the past few days to mitigate some of the CPU consumption; I've swapped the sine oscillator for a parabol, and I've made a single instance of the oscillator and envelope generator polyphonic and used a distributer followed by voice combiners to assign ranges of voices to one of the six monophonic channels (per your design) via midi note #. Voice assignment isn't quite as authentic as your design, but it sounds almost identical and it cuts CPU consumption by more than half.
