NOVO: $549 $249.00

PAST. PRESENT. FUTURE.

Recorded at the famous Eastwood Scoring Stage at Warner Bros. Studios, NOVO is a world-class, deeply sampled orchestral strings virtual instrument. But that’s where its similarities to other orchestral VI’s end. Fusing superior modern strings with our signature sound design and inspiring loops, Heavyocity created a new frontier for a virtual strings VST in film, TV, and video game scoring.

NOVO

CORE CONTENT

Heavyocity's NOVO takes the strings section of the orchestra, a staple of cinematic scoring, and delivers something new. It combines lush organic strings with a hybrid sound design to create the first orchestral virtual strings VST developed specifically for today's modern scores.

MACROS

MACRO CONTROL consolidates the sound-shaping controls in this strings virtual instrument into a single knob. Assign it to control multiple parameters across each channel including volume, pan, EQ, envelope, and effects. Use the MACRO sequencer to program swells, stutters, and sequenced effects for subtly evolving timbres or frenetic, aggressive modulation.

CYCLE

A brand-new dynamic playback engine developed in-house, CYCLE boasts a set of controls that instantly generate rhythmic pulses, swells, stutters, and glitch effects, as well as effectual granular-style pads. The possibilities for sound design with CYCLE are virtually limitless with this strings virtual instrument. Use this VST with our Foundations Staccato Strings virtual instrument to compose something otherworldly.

Awards, Reviews, and Testimonials

NOVO is one of the coolest and most inspiring musical tools I’ve played with in a long time. The sounds are punchy and the presets are bold. Strings will never be the same.

Steve Jablonsky

Transformers (Film Franchise), Deepwater Horizon, Lone Survivor

"NOVO: Modern Strings is dynamic and expressive. It provides the composer with a wide range of orchestral tools that suit any project. It is intuitive and will keep you inspired."

Ramin Djawadi

Game of Thrones, Iron Man, Westworld

I was amazed by the versatility and the intuitiveness of the instrument. NOVO fills a gap that we composers were feeling when creating music with a rhythmic contemporary approach and, at the same time, an orchestral or post-orchestral sound.

Javier Navarrete

"Hemingway & Gellhorn, Pan's Labyrinth, Wrath Of The Titans "

NOVO just has a tightness and contemporary feel to it that I loved right out of the gate, and is very playable which is something not to be overlooked. Two thumbs up!

Trevor Morris

Vikings (TV Series), Iron Fist (TV Series), London Has Fallen

TRADITIONAL

Fueled by performances from the finest players in Hollywood, at the renowned Eastwood Scoring Stage, and mixed by acclaimed film score mixer Satoshi Noguchi (Lion, Midnight Special), NOVO pushes orchestral strings' potential for beauty, lushness, and aggression.

HYBRID

For over a decade, we've built a reputation on equipping the modern composer with cutting-edge hybrid cinematic scoring elements. NOVO takes that ethos to the next level, tweaking, processing, mangling, and mashing up pristine sources into the most inspired, dynamic, and evocative elements we've ever created.

LOOPS

Packed with over 400 loops laid out across three individual channels, NOVO's inspiring loops unlock creativity, efficient sketching, and quick cue-building for the deadline-driven composer.
