Cherry Audio 这次将两个建模做到了一个产品中，
Novachord + Solovox 将为你带来经典的老式电子管风琴的音色！
The Novachord + Solovox collection emulates two early electronic instruments that were precursors of modern synthesizers.
Novachord is based on the revolutionary polyphonic instrument from 1939,
while Solovox replicates a related monophonic keyboard instrument intended to provide organ-style leads.
These exceedingly rare instruments set standards for tone generation
and synthesis techniques that continue to influence today’s electronic music instruments.
Novachord+Solovox 系列模仿了两种早期的电子乐器，它们是现代合成器的前身。
Novachord 以 1939 年革命性的复音乐器为基础，
而 Solovox 则复刻了一种单音键盘乐器，从而带来管风琴风格的领奏。
这些极为罕见的乐器为音色生成与合成技术奠定了标准，
并继续影响着当今的电子乐器。
Notorious
Manufactured by the Hammond company from 1939 to 1942 and debuting at the World’s Fair,
the Novachord contained 163 vacuum tubes and over 1,000 custom capacitors.
Its divide-down oscillator architecture combined full 72-key polyphony with an early version of analog subtractive synthesis.
The Novachord’s architecture predicted the ADSR envelope, utilized a resonant band-pass filter, and included a vibrato unit.
These now-familiar methods resemble designs adopted decades later in Moog and ARP polyphonic synthesizers.
声名远扬
Novachord 由哈蒙德公司于 1939 年至 1942 年制造，
并在世界博览会上首次亮相，包含 163 根电子管和 1000 个定制电容器。
它的分频振荡器结构结合了完整的 72 键复音与早期版本的模拟减法合成方式。
Novachord 的架构开创了 ADSR 包络，使用了谐振带通滤波器，并包括一个颤音组件。
这些如今熟悉的方法与几十年后在 Moog 和 ARP 复音合成器中采用的设计相似。
Despite its historical importance, the Novachord did not enjoy commercial success.
Although it resembled a standard organ at a glance, the front panel controls were not well-suited to the performance techniques of organists or pianists of the period.
In addition, the numerous vacuum tubes were unstable, making the 500-pound instrument challenging to maintain.
Production stopped in 1942 because of poor sales and parts shortages during the Second World War, with Hammond only manufacturing around 1,000 Novachords.
尽管 Novachord 在历史上具有重要意义，但它并没有获得商业上的成功。
尽管乍一看它像一个标准的风琴，但前面板的控制并不太适合那个时期的风琴师或钢琴家的演奏技巧。
此外，数量如此之多的电子管会导致不稳定，这使得 500 磅重的乐器难以维护。
由于第二次世界大战期间销售不佳和零部件短缺，其生产于 1942 年停止，哈蒙德只生产了大约 1000 台 Novachord。
Nevertheless, the instrument was used for decades on many notable era recordings,
such as We’ll Meet Again by Vera Lynn and Brother Bones’s Sweet Georgia Brown.
It was also prominently featured in film soundtracks including the intermission for “Gone With the Wind”
and in the scores of “Rebecca,” “The Maltese Falcon,” and “The Ten Commandments.”
But it is best remembered for its otherworldly sound as heard in horror and sci-fi genre productions
such as “Cat People,” “The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms,” “20 Million Miles to Earth,” and “The Gorgon.”
On television, the Novachord remained a favorite of composers including Jerry Goldsmith
and Harry Lubin in their work for The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits, respectively.
Today, fewer than 200 Novachords exist, and it is said that only five remain in operation.
尽管如此，这种乐器在许多著名的时代录音中使用了几十年，
比如薇拉·林恩的《我们将再次相见》和《骨头兄弟》的《甜蜜的乔治亚·布朗》。
它也出现在电影配乐中，包括《乱世佳人》的中场休息，
以及《丽贝卡》、《马耳他猎鹰》和《十诫》的配乐中。
但它最为人所铭记的是超凡脱俗的声音，正如在恐怖和科幻类型的作品中所听到的那样，
例如《猫人》、《来自 20000 胖子的野兽》、《2000 万英里到地球》和《蛇发女怪》。
在电视上，Novachord 仍然是包括杰里·戈德史密斯和哈里·鲁宾在内的作曲家的最爱，
他们分别为《暮光之城》和《外部界限》制作过配乐。
如今，Novathonds 只剩下不到 200 台，据说只有 5 台仍可使用。
The Solovox, manufactured by Hammond between 1940 and 1950, was another classic instrument of the era.
Based on the Novachord’s oscillator and divider circuits, the Solovox with its 18 vacuum tubes
was a small monophonic keyboard instrument attached beneath a piano keyboard and intended to augment it with organ-type lead voices.
It consisted of two units: the three-octave mini keyboard, and a tone cabinet for the electronic sound generator, amplifier, and loudspeaker.
Like the Clavioline and Ondioline, the Solovox produced a range of string, woodwind, and organ sounds
and was widely used in light music from the 1940s and into the 1960s.
Unfortunately, the introduction of compact transistor organs released in the 60s marked the end of the Solovox’s popularity.
1940 年至 1950 年间由哈蒙德制造的 Solovox 是那个时代的另一种经典乐器。
Solovox 以 Novacord 的振荡器和分频器电路为基础，有 18 根电子管，
它在钢琴键盘下方连接了一个小型的单音键盘乐器，用于通过风琴领奏来增强音色。
它由两个单元组成：三个八度音阶的迷你键盘，以及一个用于电声生成器、放大器和扬声器的音箱。
与键盘式小提琴和低成本马特诺琴类似，Solovox 可以产生一系列弦乐、木管乐器和管风琴音色，
于 20 世纪 40 年代到 60 年代被广泛用于轻音乐。
不幸的是，60 年代发布的紧凑型晶体管风琴标志着 Solovox 流行的结束。
Out of the Past
Due to their unique place in the history of electronic instruments, award-winning developer and DSP designer Mark Barton (MRB)
presented Cherry Audio with the prospect of teaming up to revive these instruments and their unique mystical sounds.
Armed with his enthusiasm and expertise in circuit-modeling,
we set forth to recreate these masterpieces from yesteryear using virtual synthesis and no sampling.
超越过去
由于它们在电子乐器历史上的独特地位，屡获殊荣的开发人员和 DSP 设计师 Mark Barton（MRB）
向 Cherry Audio 展示了合作复兴这些乐器及其独特神秘声音的前景。
凭借他在电路建模方面的热情和专业知识，
我们开始使用虚拟合成和无采样技术来重现这些过往的杰作。
We also received invaluable assistance from father and son, Joseph and Justin Fill, owners of a beautifully restored Novachord.
我们还得到了一对父子 Joseph 和 Justin Fill 的宝贵帮助，他们是一台精心修复过的 Novachord 的主人。
We didn’t stop at the sound -- the Novachord interface is a magnificent recreation of the original,
replete with the white Plakson and black Bakelite keys, teardrop rotary levers, and gorgeous cherry wood.
With Solovox, we went a step further, including responsive vacuum tubes that light up and respond to settings.
With additional touches such as over 100 combined presets and flexible MIDI mapping,
Cherry Audio has brought these Golden Age classics out of the past and into the 21st century.
我们并没有止步于声音——Novachord 界面是对原版的华丽再现，
使用了各种白色和黑色的胶质按键材质，以及特制的风琴拉杆与华丽的樱桃木质感。
在 Solovox 中，我们更进一步，囊括了一个可以亮起的响应式电子管，并可以响应设置变化。
凭借 100 多种组合预设和灵活的 MIDI 映射等附加功能，
Cherry Audio 将这些黄金时代的经典之声从过去带到了 21 世纪。
The result is the Novachord + Solovox experience - a breathtaking feast for
both the ears and the eyes, packaged together at one low price.
Cherry Audio is overjoyed to bring these classic instruments back to life with these stunning software emulations.
Prepare yourself to be transported back to the earliest days of electronic music history!
其结果是 Novacord+Solovox ——二者的组合售价非常实惠，
可以为耳朵和眼睛带来一场激动人心的盛宴。
Cherry Audio 非常高兴能用令人惊叹的软件模拟技术让这些经典乐器复活。
请做好准备，回到电子音乐历史上初的日子吧！
