Authentic analog modelling
Arturia has faithfully captured all the classic tones and effects that made the original Solina such an incredibly rich and versatile sound. This means you'll find all the original Solina voices including Viola, Violin, Trumpet, Horn, Contra Bass, and Cello. You'll also find the classic Ensemble effect for that distinctive thickness and lush sound. Newly added to the range of sounds, Arturia has borrowed a sound from another famous polyphonic keyboard: the "Vox Humana" patch heard on "Cars" by Gary Numan.
Utility additions
Pitch and modulation wheels with adjustable depth amounts offer more control and expressive playability over your sound than ever. Furthermore, dial in a range of retro FX that match the period perfectly. Choose from a phaser, chorus, and delays, as well as a convolution reverb that puts the Solina V in an authentic recording-ready space.
Modern convenience and extended range
The advanced panel gives you a range of powerful parameters that give you comprehensive control over the distinctive string sound of the Solina V. A three-band filter bank provided surgically precise control over the frequency spectrum for creative tonal shaping. The new resonant low pass filter emphasises the bass section, and you can also dial up sustain for string bass sounds. Perfect the signature walking bass, as well as other animated bass lines, with a one-octave arpeggiator just for the bass section. Dial in expressivity to optimise your keyboard response with velocity and aftertouch control of both volume and brightness. Finally, bring in dynamic modulations with a tempo-syncable LFO with a myriad of movement options.
Powered by TAE technology
Using proprietary modelling algorithms, Solina V is able to recreate the iconic instruments down to the component parts to create unrivalled realism and immersion. Unmatched in analog emulation, Solina V is powered by TAE and Phi technologies. TAE offers component-level modelling to accurately present the characteristics and behaviour of the instrument, whilst Phi's state-of-the-art physical modelling brings the acoustic properties into the virtual world for hyper-realism. The result is truly a next-level sound that is indistinguishable from the original to add to your productions.
Reviews
"The Solina in particular blows my mind. It's lush and authentic, I've used the real thing on numerous records and this is the only emulation that I'd use." - Richard Simpson (Coldplay)
"The Solina... we don't hear enough about the Solina, but it's so brilliant for retro pads! In the "Strings" presets folder, there's so much gold and classic vibes!" - John Nathaniel (OneRepublic/Kygo)
"I've spent most of my life playing live with real analog instruments I've found it so hard to replicate the warmth and fullness with software. Solina bridges that gap so perfectly I imagine my instruments will be gathering dust in my studio now." - Kevin Baird (Two Door Cinema Club)
