An Interview with John Bowen on Great Synthesizers

"GS: What was your motivation to develop a synthesizer like the SOLARIS and what were the main challenges?

John Bowen: Well, since I started in 1973 with Bob Moog, my primary use and enjoyment working with synthesizers was very much related to being able to directly use parameters with knobs and sliders, etc., and in all the instrument designs I have been involved with, I have been trying to make sure things are clear and relatively easy to use. As synths became more complex, it was a challenge to handle all of the information available, and so you try to find ways to address this."

John will be showing the Solaris at NAMM at Hall B Booth# 5305.
