Solina V

正宗的管弦机器。

String
Theory

Solina V models the hugely popular ensemble keyboard made by Eminent and later rebadged by ARP.

Chillwave, vaporwave, nu-disco, old disco, ambient, classic funk, and even trance just wouldn't be the same without the gluey, cosseting vibe of analog string machines. Gary Wright, Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis, Styx, The Buggles, and Parliament-Funkadelic all immortalized their sound.

The Original

We began by carefully studying the Solina Mk 1, then we created a detailed computer model. It doesn't get any more realistic than this.

Time Capsule

The Solina is heard on more '70s tracks than any other electronic keyboard, making it a must-have that no sample can duplicate.

Fits Your Mix

Put all the Solina's retro deliciousness in your tracks without the hassle of finding, maintaining, and recording vintage analog gear.

More Than Strings

Get the signature sound — then discover just how far beyond that you can go thanks to the advanced synth features we added.

Before polyphonic synths,
there were string machines

Needed a backing orchestra for your band? Far-out sounds to stack atop your electric piano? The Solina was your ticket.

Onstage, it opened up a new world of sound to keyboardists eager for options beyond piano, organ, and monosynth. In the studio, it brought real orchestration power to artists who weren't in the "just hire orchestra players" league. It became a staple of prog, funk, and disco. Its sound is as ear-catching today as ever.

The history of string machines goes back to the 1960s, when keyboardist Ken Freeman experimented with a Selmer Clavioline and multiple delays, hitting on a combo that made a solitary voice sound like a section. His Freeman String Symphonizer (a.ka. Cordovox CSS) sounded incredible but was neither first to market nor most popular. That honor would go to the Solina.

Dutch company Eminent deployed similar technology in their 310 series of home organs, which Jean Michel Jarre took onstage. They knew they were onto something that could work in a more portable keyboard, and in 1974 the Solina was born. It soon got the attention of American synth maker ARP, who licensed it and sold it as the ARP String Ensemble.

ARP was a known name in music, and artists including Styx, Gary Wright, Pink Floyd, The Buggles, and even Elton John paid attention. Disco strings of the era were either real or ARP/Solina. And if Bernie Worrell's left hand was playing bass on a Mini in classic P-Funk, his right was riffing on a String Ensemble!

Fresh
Out of the Box

Like a never-used Solina, only better.

We've preserved the controls layout and paid homage to the look — and added just the right extras to elevate the Solina experience.

01. Disco Infiltrator

Boogie down with the original Solina voices plus the classic Ensemble effect. Hit the stereo option for an even lusher sound.

02. Human Nature

Solina V borrows a sound from another famous polyphonic keyboard: the "Vox Humana" patch heard on "Cars" by Gary Numan.

03. Bass Is the Place

Split the keyboard and play bass in the left hand, either layered with the main sound or by itself.

04. Pitch and Mod

Solina V adds pitch and modulation wheels with adjustable depth amounts for more synth-like control over your sound.

05. Retro FX

Dial in period-perfect phaser, chorus, and delays, as well as a convolution reverb to put Solina V in a recording-ready space.

The Solina
Everyone Always Wanted

Heart of a string machine, brains of a synth

If Solina players longed for one thing, it was for their instrument to be more like a synth. Open up the Advanced Panel, and that's exactly what Solina V is. These features enhance your playing when you want them and get out of your way when you don't.

Resonators

This 3-band filter bank comes from the same "Poly" keyboard as the Vox Humana sound, providing surgical creative control over the frequency spectrum.

Bass Filter

Make the Bass Section bow-wow like a synthesizer with the resonant low-pass filter, and dial up a little sustain for string bass sounds.

Walk the Talk

A one-octave Arpeggiator just for the Bass Section is perfect for "walking bass" and other animation, and syncs to your master project tempo.

Masterfully Expressive

Optimize your keyboard response with velocity and aftertouch control of both volume and brightness.

Custom Modulation

The tempo-syncable LFO offers a myriad of options for modulation brought in by the wheel.

FX Central

Our FX are curated to complement the Solina sound perfectly. The Convolution Reverb emulates vintage plates and springs.

Hear it
in action

You know all about swirling pads and roller-disco string parts, but Solina V can have a far broader job description in your music.

These artists took its versatility for a test drive and came up with some tracks that prove our point.

"I've spent most of my life playing live with real analogue 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!"

Richard Simpson

Coldplay

"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."

Paul Wilson

Snow Patrol

"I’ve never actually played this thing before and the first time I did was in the V collection. I realised what it was and thought: ‘Oh my god! That’s where these sounds come from!’ It’s incredible. "

John Nathaniel

OneRepublic / Kygo

"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!"
