Like its contemporaries, the Theremin, the Ondes Martenot and the Trautonium, it can be heard occasionally in horror and science fiction film scores, including many genre films from Universal Studios and James Bernard's ethereal music for Hammer's The Gorgon (1964). The Novachord had an early implementation of ADSR, with attack/decay/sustain on switches and the release controlled via a pedal.
