Hollow Sun has announced plans for a new virtual instrument based on the rare and amazing Hammond Novachord – a polyphonic analog synthesizer released in 1939!
The Novachord is sort of the B3 of synthesizers – a huge, unwieldy beast that sounds like nothing else.
Unlike the B3, though, the Hammond Novachord has largely been forgotten. They were expensive, few were made, and few have survived because of their complexity.
The Novachord features divide-down oscillators and individual envelopes and LFO for each note. Yeah – this thing could do 72-voice polyphony in 1939!
Here’s an example of what this 70 year-old monster synth can sound like:
Imagine if this technology had taken off!

Iliadis has introduced Efthimia Organ, a Windows virtual instrument. The Efthimia (Greek Name) Organ simulates a Hammond Clone Organ.
Description:
The Sound of this Instrument is not the usual Clean Sine Sound. It’s wilder but still warm. 9 Standard Drawbars for the Upper, 9 for the Lower Manual, 6 for the Pedals, a Percussion Osc with his Harmonic Selector, a Key Click Imitation, the Classical Vibrato Scanner and the Studio Reverb made the Efthimia Organ very powerful.
Details below. If you’ve used Efthimia, leave a comment with your thoughts!
