Hi John,
Solaris #262 has been placed into service in my studio:
It was well worth the wait. I haven’t had such a “fat” sounding synth since my long departed Memorymoog. And without the chronic agony of removing all those screws, propping up the switch panel, trying to get voice card #6 to tune, and manipulating the non-ferrite choke tool endlessly while watching the frequency counter go up-and-down. The Solaris is so clean and so thick, it brought tears to my eyes especially on the string patches. The blue LED backlit mod and pitch bend wheels are really sweet. Considering Moog’s recent retirement of the Voyager, I’m glad you were still able to obtain them. I need to spend some deep dive time on the user manual, the interface, and the CF card format. My ears keep telling me this will be my “go-to” keyboard for a long time to come. Thanks for realizing your dream to manufacture an instrument we all can be proud of.
Regards,
John Sillari
