This download of Solina Redux from SONiVOX adds a sweet sounding virtual analog synthesizer to a classic reproduction of an Arp Solina String Ensemble, then throws in two fully programmable 8-step sequencers to boot. It's a match made in heaven and one that produces sonic textures you simply can't get any other way.

The Arp Solina was the preeminent string ensemble in the 1970s, made famous by the Eagles, Elton John, Pink Floyd, The Cure, Joy Division, Tangerine Dream, New Order, and many others. Its analog violin, viola, cello, contra bass, trumpet, and horn sounds evoke rich, retro-sounding orchestral ensembles, especially when using its Ensemble chorus effect.

Solina Redux gives you access to the original Solina sounds, including a model of the Ensemble chorus effect, but includes a modern virtual analog synthesizer as a sidecar. The combination of these two synthesizers provides a sound palette that is both retro and modern or anything in between at your discretion. Each synth includes a multimode filter, amplitude and filter envelopes, LFO modulations, and send effects.

To top it off, Solina Redux adds in two fully programmable step sequencers—one for the Solina instrument and one for the analog synthesizer. Play one note and out comes a modern orchestra unlike any you've heard. Each step sequencer gives you per-step (and per note) control over the pitch, the volume, the filter cutoff, and panning. Other controls include gate time, tempo sync, time division, swing, note order, and octave shift.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this fit the Canon Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 lens?

A: As long as it is the EF mount lens it will fit. But, Fotodiox does not have it listed under their compatible lenses on their website. I have found that the lens does communicate with the adapter/camera so you can control aperture. But I did find that if I adjusted my focal length at all it threw off my focus (by a lot). But that might be fixed by adjusting the back focus on the adapter.
