Windows 7 or higher (latest Service Pack, 32/64 Bit), Intel Core Duo or AMD AthlonTM 64 X2, 4 GB RAM (6 GB RAM recommended) The result is a hugely versatile and characterful analogue polysynth. Included with the Soniccouture Ondes instrument is an additional synth, the Poly-Ondes.īecause after all, isn't it a shame not to be able to play these sounds polyphonically?įeaturing a tweaked feature set, this makes the most of the amazing vintage oscillators, and adds an LFO for extra modulation possibilities. Rather, when the Ondes is switched to ‘ring mode’ (au ruban), the ring becomes the sole method of determining pitch a very skillful technique, particularly so when you consider that in order to produce any sound at all, you must simultaneously manipulate the clear, lozenge shaped device, known as the touche d’intensité. The ring is not used when the keyboard is being played, like the ribbon controllers we are used to. The most famous part of the Ondes is the metal ring, which is worn on the finger of the right hand. The Soniccouture Ondes instrument features convolution modelling of these cabinets, which can be blended creatively within the instrument. This is essentially a speaker with a metal cymbal for a cone. The main instrument panel contains controls for each of the 7 oscillators + 'Tutti' switch, send controls for each of the 3 Ondes speakers, ADSR envelope control (optional, depending on Setup), Brightness control - switchable to 12db Filter with resonance, Detune, Width and Saturation fadersĪ large part of the Ondes' sonic character are the 3 loudspeakers that amplify the instrument.ĭ1: A conventional, if slightly lo-fi, speaker cabinet.ĭ2: A speaker with 3 metal springs inside, which create a spring reverb type effect.ĭ3: The most exotic of the three Le Metallique. With an NKS controller, ROLI Seaboard, Linnstrument, or any MIDI controller expressive, fluid lines will come to life.
It was also part of Motown's studio between 1959-62, where it was used on records by The Supremes, Temptations and many others.Recreating an authentic Ondes Martenot performance requires real-time control. Ondioline featured in the soundtrack to Spartacus, Tommy James and the Shondells' 1967 hit "I Think We're Alone Now" and numerous Al Kooper recordings. The record itself does not feature the instrument. One of the most well-known Ondioline records is Stereolabs' 'Jenny Ondioline', which is simply a reference to 'George Jenny Ondioline'. In fact, most reliable sources point to all of these records being performed on a Clavioline (although it may be that 'Clavioline' is often used as a generic term for any instrument of this type), said to be a simpler version of the Ondioline - although the model used for ‘Runaway’ was heavily modified by player Max Crook, adding tremolo, vibrato and spring reverb. The two large white dials control the level of the two divider circuits - effectively two sub oscillators 1 and 2 octaves below the main.Ī few legendary recordings feed into the myths and misinformation about these early synth instruments: Del Shannon's "Runaway" (1961), The Tornados' "Telstar" (1962), and The Beatles' "Baby, You're a Rich Man" (1967). The main switch panel is labelled simply A - R and controls a variety of different oscillator shapes, filters & LFOs. No labels are visible until you turn a knob then they appear. The Ondioline is a minimal synthesiser by todays standards, and we have sought to preserve that character in our emulation. In collaboration with Goldfrapps' Will Gregory and Dan Wilson from Hideaway Studio, Soniccouture extensively restored and modified Ondioline no.599 to be sampled and recreated as a Kontakt instrument. The sound can be surprisingly realistic when the vibrato and knee lever are used together - organic, sinuous and extremely expressive. It was entirely valve-based with its own built-in amplifier and inspired the Clavioline, Jennings Univox and Hammond Solovox. It was conceived by inventor Georges Jenny as a low cost Ondes Martenot sharing the same lateral vibrato keyboard, with a knee-lever to shape volume. The Ondioline was invented in 1941, and produced in France throughout 1950s/60s.
