John Bowen Synth Design

Price drop - £2250.

Thanks John, I do. I'm selling a few bigger items, some privately, so depending on what goes first I may yet keep the Solaris. I still love it, but, life happens...!
Good luck with any future developments at John Bowen Synth Design.

Please see listing on reverb below, and feel free to contact me with any questions. Selling as an impending move forces some downsizing...

I'm a bit late to the party, but woul gladly chip in 100-200 dollars for dev or OS updates.
a reverb and granular would be the big asks i think...

It would be so nice to have this out in the wild! Then my solaris will have one up on the Jen sx1000 in terms of playing with other pieces of equipment.

John did imply not to "watch this space" sadly in another thread. Maybe in 2015 good things will happen though!

Also getting issues when driven by hardware (DSI Tempest...Octatrack...). Sync is too slow and falls out of time...

Bit wary to buy a new box that needs ethernet and software to configure (always wary of softwares endurance!).

I thought I could get round this by turning sequencer to key step mode, and using logic's arp to trigger it. But, hey held notes everywhere as soon as the clock starts to run. Fine when it isn't. Just goes wrong when you want to actually record! Amazing heh. EDIT: actually not fine when the clock ...

Just to pile on, I'm having plenty of sync issues too. Over MIDI DIN, the solaris registers the right tempo most of the time, but is often too slow, so riffs etc programmed on the Solaris sequencer are not in time.

Hi All,
Newbie here so hopefully my error. In both bitwig (dl'd to test) and Logic X (main DAW), when the solaris is receiving clock (transport in DAW running) and the delay fx is synced to midi clock, there are clicks. They are intermittent (every 5-20 seconds). If you stop the DAW transport, no ...
