Page 5: Introduction
And if this is the first Arturia product you have owned, it is an excellent way to become acquainted with our stuff. The instrument upon which this virtual model is based played an important part in many hit songs of the 1970s and early 1980s. -

To recreate the sound of a drum, for instance, a formula must be in place to represent all of the ways the collision between a drum stick and a drum head sends shockwaves through a two-dimensional membrane. Among other things, the formula must incorporate: ARTURIA – Solina V – USER MANUAL... -

And when you gather a bunch of music fanatics who also possess a knowledge of the pertinent laws of physics and an in-depth understanding of the characteristics of electronic circuits, you wind up with Arturia. And Arturia now offers you our latest brainchild, the Solina V. -
Page 12: Activation And First Start
Register and Activate Solina V works on computers equipped with Windows 7 or later and Mac OS X 10.8 or later. You can use the stand-alone version or use Solina V as an Audio Units, AAX, VST2 or VST3 instrument. - Page 13 You will then see the Audio MIDI settings window. This works in the same way on both Windows and Mac OS X, although the names of the devices available to you will depend on the hardware you are using. ARTURIA – Solina V – USER MANUAL...

MIDI from the device you want to use to trigger the instrument. In standalone mode, Solina V listens for all MIDI channels so there’s no need to specify a channel. You can specify more than one MIDI device at once. -
Page 16: Using Solina V In Plug-In Mode
2.2.3 Using Solina V in plug-in mode Solina V comes in VST, AU and AAX plug-in formats for use in all major DAW software such as Cubase, Logic, Pro Tools and so on. You can load it as a plug- in instrument and its interface and settings work the same way as in standalone mode, with a couple of differences. -
Page 17: User Interface
USER INTERFACE Solina V is packed with great features, and in this chapter we’ll make sure you know what each one does. We think you’ll be amazed by the huge range of sounds that can be made with this instrument. -

3.2.5 Resize window options The Solina V window can be resized from 60% to 200% of its original size without any visual artifacts. On a smaller screen such as a laptop you might want to reduce the interface size so it doesn’t dominate the display. On a larger screen or a second monitor you can increase the size to get a better view of the controls. -

The Preset browser is invoked by clicking the toolbar button that has four vertical lines. See section 3.3 of the manual for full details on this. The Filter, name field and left / right arrows in the toolbar all assist with preset selection. ARTURIA – Solina V – USER MANUAL... -

Page 25: Midi Channel Setting
MIDI preferences: the PREF button The original Solina allowed you to play two parts on its keyboard at the same time: the upper instrument and the bass instrument. Not to be outdone, Arturia enabled the Solina V software to do this too. - Page 26 To access these great features, press the PREF button in the tool bar: The MIDI Preferences menu will appear in the middle of the Solina V window. From here you can set all of the parameters we’ve discussed in this section so far and then some.
- Page 27 Technically, Omni mode means “listens to all 16 MIDI channels.” So in the interest of accuracy we gave our “most inclusive” MIDI Channel setting the label “All”. This reflects the hierarchy of MIDI channel assignments in Solina V, starting with the Global MIDI channel and ending with the individual MIDI channel assignment of each instrument.

To see this in action, select the Viola (this may be easier to find when the tool bar buttons read “All Banks” and “All Types”). Make sure Solina V is not in Poly mode (i.e., the Poly button is off), and then follow these steps: ... -
Page 29: The Preset Browser
Aside from the fade-in of the first note, this is the same thing that happened the first time: every other note had a quick attack. The Crescendo slider has no effect on any of the notes except the very first one when Solina V is not in Poly mode. -

It splits the original signal, passing one half through a series of capacitors, each timed to delay the signal a bit and then release it to the next capacitor, etc. There is a slight degradation of the signal at each stage, sort of ARTURIA – Solina V – USER MANUAL... -
Page 37: Open Mode
Open mode uncovers a bunch of hidden parameters that enhance the power of Solina V. Here you will find a selection of effects, velocity and aftertouch controls, a resonator, and even an arpeggiator for the bass section. Solina V controls in Open mode There are other changes, too: three knobs appear to the right of the keyboard and two more appear to the left. - Page 38 Mono and stereo Ensemble effect settings As you can see, Open mode unveils a lot of what’s been making Solina V sound so great. And the settings of each of these previously hidden ARTURIA – Solina V – USER MANUAL...

Page 39: Coarse Vs. Fine Adjustments
Velocity sensitivity and aftertouch were many years off into the future. However, Solina V has been endowed by Arturia with the ability to respond to both velocity and aftertouch. The implementation is simple but very effective: ARTURIA – Solina V – USER MANUAL... -
Page 40: Lfo
Another thing you can do is program in a certain amount of constant modulation, which can then be increased by the Mod wheel as needed. Whatever form of modulation control you’re after, the LFO section is where these decisions are made. ARTURIA – Solina V – USER MANUAL... - Page 41 The “Random” waveform is not affected by this parameter. Sync: Locks the LFO to the master MIDI clock, which puts it in sync with any other Solina V effects that also have their Sync parameters enabled. ARTURIA – Solina V – USER MANUAL...

Page 42: Bass Section: Filter, Fenv And Sustain
As you can see, for all its simple appearance the LFO section of Solina V is really quite powerful. In that regard it’s sort of a microcosm of Solina V itself, which looks like a happy little piece of furniture until you open the lid and see its inner workings! 3.5.4... -
Page 43: Bass Section: Arpeggiator
It is not an overstatement to say that arpeggios have become a mainstay of modern music. Of course the original string machines didn’t have them, but the blending of the old and the new has become a mainstay of Arturia! So we’ve included an arpeggiator as an enhancement of the Bass instrument, and we think you’ll be glad we did. -
Page 44: Upper Resonator
And as many of the presets demonstrate, the Bass section arpeggiator can remain active even when Solina V is not in Open mode. It can still “pull strings” from behind the scenes (or in this case, push them). -
Page 45: Effects
To edit the effects in a preset, first make sure Solina V is in Open mode. The simplest way to do this is to click on the lid, which will open to reveal the hidden parameters. - Page 46 The FX 1 menu options The FX 2 menu options There’s nothing complicated about using the various effects, but for a description of each one and its parameters, please refer to section 3.5.7.3.

-
Page 47: Amount Controls
Open mode also adds three knobs to the right of the virtual keyboard: FX1, FX2, and REV. They control the amount of the Solina V output that will be sent to each of the effects. The range of each control is 0-100%. -
Page 48: Fx 1: Phaser
3.5.7.3 FX 1: Phaser The phase shifter effect in Solina V is actually a dual-stage phaser. If you look closely you can see that on either side of the big red button the controls are the same: those on the left adjust Stage 1 and those on the right adjust Stage... -
Page 49: Fx 2: Analog Delay
The FB Tone knob controls a feedback filtering effect: low-pass to the left, high-pass to the right. You can set the delay modulation by changing the LFO rate and LFO depth values. ARTURIA – Solina V – USER MANUAL... -

Solina V provides almost 25 different convolution reverbs modeled after the presets of a half-dozen devices. Some are the actual reverb units that were paired with string machines of the time. - Page 51 There are no parameters within the reverb presets for you to adjust, but you can set the balance between the dry signal and the effected signal by using the Rev knob on the right side of the keyboard in Open mode.
