Hi John,
So I’ve had it for a couple of days now and all I can say is WOW!!!!
I got my first synth 33 years ago and through the years have played and owned most of, what are now considered, classics.. and still own a great collection of about 40 odd synths, including plenty of analogue mono synths, just about every VA known to man, some nice esoteric stuff like Hartmann Neurons, K5000S, Loads of Waldorf and Moog, all the DSI stuff and some nice high end gear like a System 55 and a Schmidt….. BUT… this is the first synth in a long LONG time that’s made me think “Do I need ALL of this other gear anymore?”….
The Solaris just sounds incredible… it has that chameleon character that can just turn itself to anything… and in the last couple of days has just stopped me doing commissioned work just so that I can PLAY!!! (which WILL cause me no END of grief in a few days time!!!)
I rarely get excited about synths these days…. the last models that REALLY blew my socks off are few and far between and stretch back years… Wavestation, Oasys, Schmidt…. and now this!! I used to be a big Creamware user and so THOUGHT I knew what to expect…. how wrong I was…
🙂
You should be very VERY proud of this synth.
Congratulations to you and your team for making a middle aged synth addict VERY happy…
You will now be hearing this ALL over everything I do for TV and film for a long long time!!!!
