Soniccouture has announced the release of Ondioline, a modelled analogue instrument that runs in Kontakt Player.
The Ondioline was made in France in the 1950s /60s, and was conceived as a low cost Ondes Martenot, sharing the same lateral vibrato keyboard, with a knee-lever to shape volume. It was entirely valve-based with its own built-in amplifier and inspired the Clavioline, Jennings Univox and Hammond Solovox.
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.
