“The John Bowen Solaris is simply one of the most fantastic instruments I have ever worked with. Everything about it screams class. From amazing sounding filters to countless oscillator types, I feel after several months of using it I still have not even scratched the surface. The architecture and programming behind it allows for huge sounds which can range from very organic and analog sounding to crisp and precise digital style sounds. The sound quality of this synthesizer is absolutely exceptional and I would highly recommend this synthesizer to any sound designer or professional musician that can budget for it.
All presets utilize the Joystick to dial in the desired intensity of sound. We recommend to start with the Joystick in the Neutral position and then move the joystick left or right to dial in the desired sound.
The audio demo features additional sidechained reverb using Valhalla VintageVerb & some light EQ/Compression.
