John Bowen Synth Design

The plugin runs on scope cards only and is actually a much different synth than the hardware Solaris.

However, as qtuner mentioned, the editor may prove a pathway for the kind of functionality you desire...

I like it!

...probably going to sell my Voyager OS to help fund one of these.

Please do!

I would dearly love to have something like this as a help in explaining the Solaris to people.

However, since the routing is so flexible I would expect it to look like a big spider web.

Up until now, the demos were meant to highlight a single feature like osc sync or the sound of a particular filter so John has intentionally kept the sounds rather focused.

As the software nears completion I'm certain there will be some more complex demos of more multifaceted sounds - especially ...

Fine. I'll be the bastard then - someone's gotta bear the burden.

BTW - when are you coming by for more beer?

You too, huh?

It will also be my primary controller which will also permanently routed to my keyboardless Prophet T-8.

Lucky bastard.

Beautiful.

...but that could easily cost thirty grand.

hmmm, strange. how about using and learning to use the announced hardware first - before asking for more and more and more?! :roll:

...but I've already used the Solaris a whole bunch! :D

It's just fun to talk about possibilities. As Debbie Harry says, "dreamin is free". :lol:

More memory space for on board samples.

A 76 key, weighted, high-quality keybed.

A real analog (or tube-based) gain stage at the end of the signal chain for warmth/distortion, etc...

Yes, that's correct. You didn't know this because this is a new feature as of just 2 weeks ago.

...It just keeps getting better, John!

Very cool! A minor point: is the S/PDIF considered its own output, separate from the analog outs? It looks like it is on these pages. yes, that's correct.

!!! :shock: I had no idea.

That kind of flexibility is great. I'll be able to go directly into my DAW with no signal degradation while ...

Just a quick note: I'll be setting up a fan-driven resource page on my site for the Solaris (similar to my Microwave, Serge and Evolver pages) with free patches, programming guides, etc...

Once we all get the Solaris, I think it would be fun to put together a patch set from submissions from the ...

The moment I get mine, there will be a manic patch programming session followed by a probably-too-long multi track session of my noodling.

...and champagne!

Cool beans, John! The update is appreciated.

The lighter one looks better anyway...probably sounds better too.
