"One of a small run of pre-order units of the near legendary John Bowen Solaris. For those who don't know, John Bowen started out working with Moog and became part of Sequential Circuits with Dave Smith. From there he went to work with Korg on such luminary products as the Wavestation and Oasys. The Solaris has been years in the planning and stems from Johns work at Sonic Core/Creamware. It's not really fair to simply call it a virtual analog synth as although it has modeled oscillators from Moog, CEM (SCI) and Wavetables and filters modeled from Moog, Oberheim, SEM as well as Comb and Vocal filters, it is much more than a VA. Semi modular in design there are hundreds of parameters and possible routings. Once central display and 5 sub displays help keep track of all the parameters along with 40 rotary controller knobs and numerous buttons!

For performance the Solaris sports a two output ribbon above the keyboard as well as the standard pitch and mod wheels and a joystick vector control. The keybed is velocity and pressure sensitive and the pitch and mod wheels are backlit, the colours can be changed but the case needs to be opened to do this. All internal processing is carried out at 96Khz, which means superior sound quality as well as some unusual modulations being possible, for instance the LFO's can easily go way into audio range.

There is so much more that can be said about the Solaris but it's better said on John's site.

See the note on Doepfer.

"Six-Trak Version 11 ROM upgrade offers the ability to sync the on- board sequencer to non-Sequential MIDI Clocks, plus non-volatile MIDI Mode settings.

It can be set to play 6 voices poly phonically on one midi channel or played multitimbrally on 6 different midi channels.

This has 6 x CEM3394 'synthesiser on a chip' ICs as used in the original Doepfer Dark energy modules and can create some enormous stacked unison sounds using 6 different sounding voices.

It is wired for 220-240 volts ac mains operation but can be rewired internally for 110v ac if needed."
