Members carbon111 Posted March 28, 2007 Members Share Posted March 28, 2007 People wonder about the sound and the architecture? Well, something tells me that initially it will sound very similar to and have a similar featureset to John's Solaris softsynth... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Meganulon-X Posted March 28, 2007 Members Share Posted March 28, 2007 But every VA has a modulation matrix, some deeper than others. Maybe modular wasn't the best term. Multi-algorithm might be a better description. ? This is what Matrixsynth has listed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members clusterchord Posted March 28, 2007 Members Share Posted March 28, 2007 nice design, not like hartmann or clavia, but still - its always nice to see a new (huge) hardware synth released .. i hope their venture survives this tricky market. good work, John Bowen.. let's wait n see HOW MUCH and what does it do. iirc solaris was some kind of wavetabling synth , wasnt it.. ok i see WAV and CEM (i guess VA code) buttons at OSC level. anything else? i recall ppl swearing by John's VA version of Pro One, tho i never heard it myself.. hmmm this could be interesting. one way or another, i suspect Don Solaris will sell a few of his rolands and buy this thing ASAP. its a given..

Members carbon111 Posted March 28, 2007 Members Share Posted March 28, 2007 IIRC, John's software Solaris already has wavetable capability...I'm eager to hear this thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members clusterchord Posted March 28, 2007 Members Share Posted March 28, 2007 if i had a cpl of grand to spend on new boars exclusively.. i think i'd still go for Stromberg (w analog filter option90 first), and then new Nord Lead, before this.. but, call me crazy, somehow i have a hunch this might be in stores sooner than Stromberg. i hope not..

Members urbanscallywag Posted March 28, 2007 Author Members Share Posted March 28, 2007 What he said. Except the Nord Lead. You don't need a VA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members clusterchord Posted March 28, 2007 Members Share Posted March 28, 2007 i like nord lead 3. unique sound. but cant justify having it arround.. and you're right. and im done wiht synths for a while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members realtrance Posted March 28, 2007 Members Share Posted March 28, 2007 It looks like an incredibly great synth; but I'm sure the kids here who can't afford it will be beating it up badly on HC for months to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Metrosonus Posted March 28, 2007 Members Share Posted March 28, 2007 But im guessing you can buy the software...? IM just curious why i haven't heard of anything this guy has done at all... but oh yea this will be in the 4k range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members syncretism Posted March 28, 2007 Members Share Posted March 28, 2007 But I look at that and think "great, another over-complicated, over-priced VA." If this were a Waldorf synth, would you feel the same way? The software version's a lot closer to a Waldorf synth than any virtual analogue that comes to mind {wavetables, sample playback, dizzying modulation capabilities}.

Probably because you need to buy a hardware platform {Creamware's Scope PCI} to run the software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Don Solaris Posted March 28, 2007 Members Share Posted March 28, 2007 where's Don Solaris on this oneActually quite away these days. Having some bad times with the Kurz, XV and one hard disk between them that just doesn't want to listen! @urban: hey, how did you changed the topic title without "Laste edited by..." notice. Or was is it some of the mods... (i suspect Yoozer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, in fact, I'm not too hyped about the Stromberg either. Lately some VAs have been leaving me a little cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mildbill Posted March 28, 2007 Members Share Posted March 28, 2007 Hey guys - am I understanding this right? That nice looking keyboard is basically going to be running the software synth that's linked to in the first post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members joxer96 Posted March 28, 2007 Members Share Posted March 28, 2007 No, the first post is a picture of Solaris on Creamware's Scope platform. It is an absolute monster, my favorite Scope synth ever. People had been clamoring for a hardware version, and it looks like it's finally happened. This is the first digital synth announcement that's excited me in years. Great news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fair - I guess I'm not sure why you're calling this a VA, though. Where does "digital subtractive", as someone here aptly put it, end, and VA begin?
