Elta Music Solar 42F - When the Ocean Comes to Swallow Us Whole
video upload by Thomas Carli
"Demo of a drone jam I put together on the Solar 42F. Nothing serious, but illustrates that while billed as an Ambient machine, can definitely venture into seriously dark territory. Hands down my favorite synth of 2024 and quite possibly the evil doppleganger of the Buchla Music Easel. No external effects used. Internal Infinity FX card on the Solar 42F the only effects featured. This drone uses the Hold function of several of the Solar 42F's Voices, the Arpeggiator on Voice 4, and manual control of Voice 6, as well as using LFO A to create additional modulation of the voice. Enjoy!"

Syntrx II + Solar 42f (Dark) Jam | 2024-09-24 // Solar 42f + SyntrX II + H90
video upload by Jess From Square One

The SynthrX Oscillator 2 receives CV from the Solar plates keyboard, which alters the programmed SyntrX step sequence.
Solar 42f VCO A and B dry outs are processed externally by Eventide H90, while the other Solar oscillators (voice 1,2,4,5,6) go through the onboard FX processor."

SOLAR FALL | SOLAR 42F
video upload by ELTA music
"Improvisation at sunset in the mountains of Italy.
This improvisation was played without rehearsal, from the first take, after switching on the synthesiser.

The instrument is oriented for live performances, creating film soundtracks, theatre soundtracks, atmospheric sounds, microtonal and background music.

Off to space, Bye // Elta Music Solar 42f is Incredibly Immersive
video upload by Dave Mech
"Hello HAL, do you read me? This is best listened to / viewed from beginning to the end if you want to get a good picture of the drone / ambient / cinematic journey the Solar 42 can take you on. I hope this trip to space will help you understand how this instrument can bend your mind into the 5th dimension. I knew I'd like the Solar 42 but it really clicked with me in a way I didn't expect. And I'm only scratching the surface here. And the sound.... It's seriously impressive in all aspects. The way all the voices are summed, the overdrive and fx, it's all sounding lovely.
Disclaimer: Elta Music send me this unit to play with and create a music video.
Disclaimer 2: Some post processing was used with iZotope Ozone. Another thing I did was feeding some of the right channel to the left channel after recording. While playing this piece I created a nice stereo effect with the filters in link mode. The downside was that this was a bit too extreme, certainly for headphones so I solved that in post.

SUPERBOOTH 2024: Elta Music - Solar 42 F
video upload by sonicstate
"At Superbooth 2024, Serge *from *Elta Music showcased the updated version of their popular Solar 42 synth, now dubbed *Solar 42F*. The main addition to this version is stereo distortion on the output, along with cosmetic updates like color-coded ports and firmware tweaks. According to *Serge*, these updates were made based on continuous refinement of the machine, with a focus on enhancing user experience. Despite not being a major overhaul, the changes are deemed very useful for users. All new Solars will be shipped in this updated version, including those with previously placed orders.
The Solar 42F features a streamlined mixer layout for easier navigation of voice volumes, along with the stereo distortion feature on the main output. The updated version will be the standard for all future shipments of the Solar 42, and with production underway, the new iteration promises to deliver an improved user experience without a price increase.
Solar 42 F Price: 1,800 plus VAT"

♫ Jamming With a Bunch of Synths ♫ ----- (79)
video upload by Bata
"This jam is a little weird. My phone was on low battery which made the video slightly glitchy. I was a bit distracted during this recording so it's maybe a bit more boring than usual. There is also a couple mysterious audio drop outs near the end of the video. I didn't notice these prior to uploading so it's possible something went wrong when combining the audio and video files or something.
