theres a lot of hype around this synth in the form of interviews and pictures. what does it sound like? i dont really care about anything but how it sounds.
We don't know yet. It's still in the very early stages, but the expectation is that it will sound top notch. John Bowen is pretty meticulous when it comes to audio quality - he has a high bar and a lot of history. I'd be pretty surprised if he did not produce something that sounded as good if not better than the Creamware stuff and I've never heard anything but the best when it comes to Creamware audio quality. They seem to be on a level of their own. I'll try not to name names, but you often hear that the offerings from other soft synth makers have the same tonal character to them even though they are emulating different synths. You also commonly hear how many soft synths sound good in their own way, but when you stack them up to the real thing, there just seems to be something missing. Whether this is real or myth, I never hear that about Creamware products. When I think of the Solaris, I don't think of a hardware soft synth. I think of a hardware synth that will be able to make some of the Creamware magic available as well.
thanks, valis.
