John Bowen SOLARIS Synthesizer

"Up for auction is argueably the best sounding synth made to date, the somewhat rare and amazing John Bowen SOLARIS. The SOLARIS is a high-end digital synthesizer, which features state-of the-art digital synthesizer technology, yet sounds like classics of the past, or digitals of the present and future. Because of John's early successes working for Moog and Sequential Circuits, and Korg, John had an intimate knowledge of analog synthesis...but later on, he also became one of the best designers of digital synthesis with Creamware and Zarg. This made John uniquely qualified to combine all he had learned into the Solaris. This synthesizer is A BEAST to say the least, able to emulate most any analog or digital synth with ease, although John designed it to go where synths had not yet gone as well. And not only is the sound fat, thick, and ballsy in a very analog way, but also very capable of sounding digital in a analog way as well...very hard to hear some of it's sounds and not hear analog oscillators and filters in it somewhere."

I don't believe I've posted one of these before. Interesting bit of gear from Frostwave's history.
"Control up to 4 of your favourite CV-equipped, analogue synthesizers at one time with a MIDI-source computer or digital instrument with this incredibly versatile MIDI to CV / Gate conversion unit.
Info:
The Frostwave Quad MIDI-CV Plus is a rack mount four channel MIDI to analogue CV convertor, designed and manufactured in Australia. The unit operates in three different modes:
1. As a basic four channel convertor, it interprets MIDI note number, velocity, and note on/off on any four adjacent MIDI channels and produces corresponding control voltages and gate voltages to drive up to four analogue mono synths.
Or to control your FROSTWAVE RESONATOR and/or FROSTWAVE BLUERINGER V2
Switches enable each channel to be either V/Oct (Roland, Moog, Arp etc) or Hz/V (Korg MS series). Gate polarity can be either positive or S-trigger (Moog) type. Pitch bend information is interpreted on each channel via a 16-bit DAC and added to the control voltage to give smooth glides. There is a DIN sync output for early drum machines, locked to the MIDI tempo.
2. The second mode is for modular systems, with various MIDI controllers being interpreted from one channel. Eight continuous and four gated outputs are available.
3. In the third mode, the unit is used as a MIDI controller. Plugging a standard analog games joystick into the unit allows samplers etc. to be triggered by the fire buttons. Moving the joystick changes the notes and volume.
