Soniccouture Ondes KONTAKT DVDriSO | 1.5 GB

Perhaps one of the most enigmatic musical instruments of all time, The Ondes Martenot literally 'Martenot Waves' was invented by Maurice Martenot in 1928. The original unreliable tube-based design was refined and later models remained in production until 1988. An interesting overview of the instrument can be seen on Youtube.


The Ondes Martenot has been used in many film scores first dating from 1931; Odna by Shostakovich, Lawrence of Arabia 1962, Ghostbusters 1984, A Passage to India 1984, through to present day movies such as Amelie 2001 and recently There Will Be Blood 2007 by Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead.

THOMAS BLOCH RETURNS

Thomas Bloch is perhaps the most renowned Ondist in the world ; when great musicians and producers are inspired by the sound of the Ondes Martenot, it is often him they turn to. Radiohead, Tom Waits and Damon Albarn have all worked with him.

So, we knew Thomas was the only man to help us to recreate this bewitching instrument..

PLAYING THE ONDES MARTENOT

The instrument produces sound using oscillators, as with a conventional analogue synthesiser, but it is the various unusual methods of control which give the instrument its' unique character :
The Keyboard and Ring Controller
LE RUBAN - THE RING CONTROLLER

The most famous is the metal ring, which is worn on the finger of the right hand. The ring is not used when the keyboard is being played, like the ribbon controllers we are used to.

When the Ondes is switched to 'ring mode' au ruban, the ring becomes the sole method of determining pitch ; a very skillful technique, particularly so when you consider that in order to produce any sound at all, you must simultaneously manipulate the clear, lozenge shaped device, known as the touche d'intensite..

The touche d'intensite is a large button on the control drawer of the Ondes Martenot, and is pushed and tapped to produce the tone of the instrument ; in effect , it controls the volume envelope of the instrument. The touche d'intensite is controlled with the left hand while the player uses either the ring or the keyboard to produce the melody.

Next to the touche d'intensite are a series of switches and dials which control the oscillators and create the timbre of the note - as well as send levels to the three loudspeakers..
