via this auction"A cross between an organ and stringmachine. Wonderfully sounding filter with envelope, vibrato and wah, freely mixable footages. Uniquely sounding Soviet instrument.
• This auction synth was made in May 1990 in USSR. Serial number 06316.
• Solaris uses organ style drawbars to create the basic tone, and has a analog filtering as well.
• Inside it has 12 voice boards that correspond to each key in an octave, and then uses a divide down system to get to the other octaves.
• There is only one filter and envelope in it which means when you hit another note it will retrigger the envelope like many other synths with full polyphony,
• The filter itself is really extreme and sounds fantastic, as well the envelope is really punchy, so you get great synth stabs, sweeps and percussive organ sounds.
• I would describe the overall sound of the synth as 70's funky. Its smooth and buttery, not harsh. It would work well for disco, or early style hip hop, or 70s fusion jazz.
• If you use the envelope section carefully you can get great moogy leads, in the high resisters it can sound like a string machine, or even a Theremin if you crank the resonance. It has tons of character.• Connection on the rear panel : Volume pedal input with 5-Din connectors ( original pedal is included), Audio OUTPUT with standard 1/4' jack, power wire connection: standard figure 8 type (220/240V), fuse (0,5A) ."
