ARTURIA SOLINA V2
Solina V
Authentic orchestra machine.
Float your mind on the swirling liquid textures of the premiere string machine of the 1970s. Our unparalleled analog modeling brings this vintage icon up to tempo, beautifully faithful to the original and expertly enhanced for modern production.
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.
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.
