Hi my name is Nils and I'm probebly one of the eldery here Have been working with synths and organs since 1974 But not any longer. Now only for hobby. I have a polymoog 203A I'm still working on with modification and some repair on it. But I'm also working on a new big project for fun. Trying to build a Novachord with valves/ vacuum tubes. Poly Moog is a "modern" copy of Novachord ."Interestingly enough, Dr. Robert Moog of Moog Music based his original experiments in synthesizer creation on the Novachord and Hammond's tone-wheel inventions - and the rest, as they say, is history. " Novachord was the predecessor to all electronic organs and the forerunner of today’s synthesizer. See and listen to Novachord:www.discretesynthesizers.com/nova/intro.htm

Hi Nils, welcome to our forum Poly Moog is a "modern" copy of Novachord This is something I've always felt to be true as well. The Novachord has that same spooky ethereal quality that can be found in certain Polymoog sounds. Unfortunately, there aren't many Novachords around (except for the one rebuilt by Phil Cirocco (who I've had one or two interesting email conversations with on the subject)...
