Watching Ben Hur on DVD and noticed extensive use of novachord in the soundtrack. Is there a Planetnovachord yet? My wife says I can't have one but hoping to use it as a bargaining chip for future keyboards.

Happy new year

Mark

I've been watching a lot of old movies lately, and I'm starting to think that it's harder to find a movie from 1940-1965 that DOESN'T have Novachord in it.  It's used just like modern synths today, to fatten up sonic resources.  I'll notice a string section here, woodwinds there, percussion - did you know the old NBC "A-F#-D" was a Novachord?  Or the Conelrad A-A-F three-note alert?  Anyway, there's a Novachord group on Yahoo! that could really use some chatty new members.  Applicants are invited to visit http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/novachord/ and join today!

I bet they don't like samples either!

That would be their problem, then.  I like any tool I can use in a musical way.

Just looked at the home page, see what you mean about needing chatty new members, maybe I'll wait until the hollowsun samples are out. I don't think any novachords are going to turn up in New Zealand, are yours working?
