One of the world’s first synths

The Hammond Novachord was first produced in 1938. A 72-note polyphonic beast, it used 163 vacuum tubes to power its oscillators. Neither piano nor organ, it was misunderstood by the public. However, its eerie, ethereal sound became a mainstay of film and television composers. Gone with the Wind, The Maltese Falcon, Rebecca, House of Frankenstein, The Outer Limits and The Twilight Zone all feature Novachord as part of their soundtrack.

SONICCOUTURE

Soniccouture develop virtual instruments and sample libraries for composers and producers. They have been working in close partnership with Native Instruments and the KONTAKT platform since 2005 to change the way sampled instruments are regarded by musicians.

Combining unprecedented levels of detail with organic performance programming, groundbreaking instruments like Pan Drums and Balinese Gamelan quickly established Soniccouture as one of the most original and innovative instrument developers. Today, with a wide catalogue of instruments already available, Soniccouture continue to explore the limits of what is possible with sampling.
