Members carbon111 Posted January 31, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 31, 2009 money in hand but need mo betta demo I should be getting some time soon with one of the pre-production units to do some proper audio demos. KSS will be my first stop once I have something substantial to show. I can do lossless audio via FLAC and OGG now so I won't have to rely on crappy youtube videos or MP3s.

Members thebedroom Posted January 31, 2009 Members Share Posted January 31, 2009 I'm waiting for DLP to buy one so I can get a good deal after he uses it a couple of weeks and moves on to the next thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking forward to hearing your demos! From the little bit I've heard on John's website for this synth, it sounds like it could really be amazing.

Members carbon111 Posted February 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 23, 2009 Beautiful demo by Red Martian! I've been keeping my lips zipped about the inclusion of the Waldorf wavetables but now that there's official permission, the cat is out of the bag. ...plus it will be relatively easy to build your own wavetables.

Members Obsidious Posted February 23, 2009 Members Share Posted February 23, 2009 lol at the THX intro I'm sure that demo doesn't even begin to hint at the potential. This thing is so far out of my reach, would cost about 7 grand to import to Oz, probably push 8. Have fun Carbon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tony Scharf Posted February 23, 2009 Members Share Posted February 23, 2009 I listened to the demos. Meh. For some reason, this synth fails to inspire any lust in me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll do some Flac demos when I get some time with it. its not even the audio, really. Its the cost + vapor factor. I mean, its real now...but I just dont think any hardware va synths are worth that kind of money. Not my money anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carbon111 Posted February 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 23, 2009 Well, for what it's worth, Its not really a VA. The architecture is way more comprehensive than that....And it was never vapor...there was never a point when John and his designers ever stopped working on it - also, he was fully funded from the begining so there was never a chance it wouldn't come out.

Members VeggieSynth Posted February 23, 2009 Members Share Posted February 23, 2009 The last demo was beautiful. Nothing that couldn't have been accomplished with a DX7 and a simple analogue monophonic synth (plus some basic outboard effects), though. I can see the power of this synth in performance conrols - the joystick, ribbon, knobs and great keyboard. If it proves to be the next CS80 in terms of playability and responsiveness then the synth will be worth the price. I only hope John Bowen doesn't share Dave Smith's sense of humour regarding the latest encoders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AfroRouge Posted February 23, 2009 Members Share Posted February 23, 2009 Seems to me that assuming this has as deep and interesting synthesis engine as it appears (I'm willing to go with this, because I will never own one), people will buy it for the extreme immediacy of its interface. It's certainly not a synth for everyone. In many ways, it's refreshing to see an instrument that's not even vaguely interested in the hobbyist market's call for stripped-down economy devices.

Remember, there is a huge amount of capability there: http://acapella.harmony-central.com/forums/showpost.php?p=32491280&postcount=8When I was programming it at NAMM, I was getting huge, moving, morphing timbres I wouldn't mistake as coming from any other synth...I am dieing to get my hands on the Solaris again. Soon, I'll have one of my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I second this motion. Even though I applaud what appears to be an excellent synth, I don't think I'll be seeing one in my stable any time soon. For that amount of coin, I'd really need to have a hands-on demo to decide if it would be worth divesting myself of some gear for it to replace.

Members b3keys Posted February 23, 2009 Members Share Posted February 23, 2009 So, the Solaris is: 1. OB oscillators+ 2. Minimoog oscillators (Creamware ABS-12) + 3. Prophet (Creamware ABS Pro 12)+ 4. Wavestation+ 5. Waldorf Wavetables (PPG Wave) Is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members carbon111 Posted February 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 23, 2009 I should mention there's not really any "OB oscillators" but everything else above is spot on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ElectricPuppy Posted February 23, 2009 Members Share Posted February 23, 2009 What? No semi-numerical waveform-folding stochastic oscillator simulation mode??? DEALBREAKER. Also: It needs a cup holder. Just sayin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
