Members McHale Posted January 15, 2011 Members Share Posted January 15, 2011 So is it the same old song and dance? Production units should be shipping soon and yadda yadda yadda? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ElectricPuppy Posted January 15, 2011 Members Share Posted January 15, 2011 I met and spoke with John yesterday. I asked point blank, "when?" He said all the parts are in, they expect to assemble them in February and have them in users' hands by March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members McHale Posted January 15, 2011 Author Members Share Posted January 15, 2011 I met and spoke with John yesterday. I asked point blank, "when?" He said all the parts are in, they expect to assemble them in February and have them in users' hands by March. he said that last year... Every year the price goes up, no product is delivered, and I lose more interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember a post by Carbon111 order 2 years ago when he was expecting his Solaris to be delivered within a couple of months... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carbon111 Posted January 15, 2011 Members Share Posted January 15, 2011 It's gone through quite a few redesigns over the last three years, many customer-driven. The main circuit boards are now rolling. A lot of the delays have been out of John's hands. I'm still extremely excited to get mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Purity_Control Posted January 15, 2011 Members Share Posted January 15, 2011 it still scares the crap out of me to think that 18 months ago i came a hair's width away from dropping a couple of grand on a pre-order... maybe if the demos on the site had been better i'd have gone for it. and still be waiting.

Members carbon111 Posted January 15, 2011 Members Share Posted January 15, 2011 and still be waiting. Not unless you wanted to. John has returned deposits to anyone who has asked. Only a couple have dropped out - I think that speaks volumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bernard Posted January 15, 2011 Members Share Posted January 15, 2011 I recall Arturia had a nightmare bigger than they could imagine when they got into the Origin project... every time line got stretched... even boasts of 96/24 specs got reviewed and changed down. They admitted it was allot harder to make than was planned. The forum's of expectant users got pretty angry, especially users in countries were things role quicker normally... bespoke is tough... I have stopped looking at gear like that because I want to buy stuff that is well developed and mature.. it may be getting old sometimes but at least the software works and your not a development G pig... IIRC they use the same type of DSP's (shark)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John has been in constant contact with the preorders and even involved us in quite a few design decisions. It's an absolutely lovely instrument.

Members InsideLookinOut Posted January 16, 2011 Members Share Posted January 16, 2011 I'm glad to have one on order. Better to wait and get in early on a very unique piece of gear at a great price, than wish I could get one at full price later. The thing is that this synth has consistently improved with each redesign. It's also rare that you can make suggestions to the synth maker and actually see features that you're hoping for in the final product! Carbon111 is correct in saying that Solaris is an absolutely lovely instrument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
