ReplyDeleteHere's a relevant podcast:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.delamar.de/musikmesse-2007-podcast-der-solaris-von-john-bowen/
John Bowen interview at messe with samples! Here's a babel fish translation for the page. Seems he's estimating the price at 3000 in Euros.
One of the few highlights on the music fair 2007 for me is surely the Solaris, a Synthesizer, which was developed of nobody smaller than John Bowen. The Solaris began as semimodular software Synth for the Scope DSP maps of CreamWare, where it gained fast a good reputation as versatile applicable Synth. Marc and I had the large pleasure the symphatischen and still inspired Synth veterans to interviewen - the result can hear you as Podcast at the end of the article. With the Solaris it acts around a Synthesizer based on SHARC DSPs with 5 oktaven a keyboard, which with a 96kHz audio engine works. Under that about 40 buttons are 5 LCDs, which represent the button parameters. Additionally there is a graphic display, whose use us is not yet completely clear. The algorithms used in the Solaris are to be waited and improved occasionally over software updates. Also extensions are technically feasible and planned according to John Bowen. Perhaps it will also give at a later time some the Scope algorithms for the Solaris. However - John Bowen recommends to switch on and straight on play the equipment simply. The secrets reveal themselves then allegedly automatically. Who cannot allude the hippen Synth with a music shop, should absolutely clean-hear in the Podcast, because it enters or other hearing sample of the master there himself. An inspiring Synth, which by play joy and great sounds from the mass out-stings. The price will lie around the EUR3000. -. Thank you at John Bowen for the interview!
The dedication of John Bowen is unmatched.
ReplyDeleteI am lucky to own a Solaris as a Creamware plugin and ALWAYS enjoyed the first class support from John including frequent updates.
together with the high quality sound and the elaborate usability it is for sure one of the profoundest synth concepts I saw.
Very promising prototype now
