Synthetic Strings: NOVO Pack 03 Black Friday pricing is $75, 49% off, with the deal running until Dec 18, 2026, on Heavyocity's Kontakt instrument built from classic and modern string synthesizers.
The pack collects almost a dozen string-based synths and runs them through Heavyocity's NOVO engine. The maker says you get the warmth and depth of these instruments without the tuning drift of the analog originals.
The lineup spans vintage and modern hardware. Heavyocity names these:
Heavyocity describes them as the tools behind scores for films like Dunkirk and The Social Network, and TV shows like Mr Robot and The Knick.
Each one is sampled in its raw analog form, so the source material is the real synth, not a patch built from scratch.
There are over 200 Snapshot Presets in total. They come as playable patches, rhythmic performance patches and loops.
That gives you a few ways in. Play a pad from the keys and hold it down for a slow tonal bed, or load a rhythmic preset and let it drive a pulse under your cue.
The maker pitches the pack as more than a fresh take on analog string synths, and describes it as key-down raw inspiration.
The NOVO engine is Heavyocity's award-winning sound-design engine. The maker says it adds rhythmic and sound-shaping capabilities to the vintage synths that they never had in their original form.
Heavyocity says the engine puts its sound-design toolset directly into the hands of the cinematic composer. With the raw analog samples as the starting point, it is built for creating tonal beds and distinctive rhythmic pulses.
The pack loads in Kontakt, so it sits in your signal chain like any other Kontakt instrument. Layer it under orchestral strings, or let a rhythmic snapshot carry the cue by itself.
If you already own other Heavyocity NOVO packs, this one runs on the same engine.
Yes. The Synthetic Strings: NOVO Pack 03 Black Friday deal takes 49% off, bringing it to $75, and it ends Dec 18, 2026. It is a Kontakt instrument from Heavyocity built around classic and modern string synthesizers.
Heavyocity names Crumar, Solina, Juno, Streichfett, Supernova, Boomstar, Matrix and RS202. Together they make up almost a dozen string-based synthesizers, mixing vintage and modern instruments, each captured as raw analog samples.
The pack ships with over 200 Snapshot Presets. They come in playable, rhythmic performance and loop formats, so you can start from sustained pads, pulsing patterns or ready-made loops.
It runs on Heavyocity's award-winning NOVO engine inside Kontakt. The maker says the engine adds rhythmic and sound-shaping tools to the vintage string synths, aimed at building tonal beds and rhythmic pulses.
