John Bowen Synth Design

Hello again!

I would want a desktop module- I have enough keyboards already, and several of them have PolyAT. I can deal with the decreased display options, as long as you can move rapidly between which modules they address. The Korg WaveStation A/D had a cool little miniaturized joystick that ...

They are funded! Ten days to go....

I am in for the 96-key version. Those guys did a great job on the VAX77, it was just too expensive for the market. A 4 octave version for $400? Wow....

The Infinite Response people are coming out with a new PolyAT controller at a price significantly less than the original VAX77:

I have a VAX77 and love it, but 96 keys for $700 might be impossible to resist!

The Andromeda was an analog synth, it did not alias. Do you mean the stepping/resolution problems of the controllers and knobs? I owned one for a decade, and sold it primarily because there were several issues about it I didn't like (no response to PolyAT over Midi, resolution and range of the ...

That actually looks pretty cool....I wonder how it would look on a dark Solaris? Not that I am going to change anything, but if I did I would also consider changing the main display to match.

That's Anne Hathaway. You know, Mrs. William Shakespeare.

I was one of the Kickstarter purchasers of the QuNexus; I thought it was a really well-made, functional piece of gear, but in the end I just couldn't warm to the small pads.

KMI does sell a separate MIDI Expander for the QuNexus; for $45.

The QuNexus does have PolyAT- you just need to be comfortable playing small pads instead of regular-sized keys. CME makes the X-Key in two and three octave versions, which have full-sized (though shallow) keys with PolyAT for a similar price.

It happened to me again recently while playing a preset, but I couldn't reproduce it. Hadn't happened in quite awhile.

Well, I can tell you that with Logic and Mavericks on a Mac it works fine, pretty sure it's not the Solaris.

Had mine for years now and people at the gigs are shocked at it's audio excellence, but I use the digital outs into the AES/EBU on an XITE-1 rack, so it's super clean, super fat, and this synth is moved around every night.
It's the best synth I ever owned, and according to everyone else the best ...

....and it was worth the wait!

Well, at least you guys won't have to wait as long as some of the "pioneers!" I have had mine for more than a year, and it is the centerpiece of my studio. I still feel like I am just scratching the surface of it, there is just so much to it. That, and my day job keeps getting in the way....
