SOLTON PROJECT 100

video upload by Vintage Audio Institute Italia

"Frankly we're not that well versed in 80s Digital or hybrid synths - MIDI sync, sub menus accessible by pressing three buttons simultaneously while peering into unsexy tiny screens trying to figure out what parameter you're actually tweaking...

It can be demoralising.

But we like the Solton Project 100 a lot - maybe because it looks like the Solton Programmer 24 - and they match up very nicely sound wise as well - more of that to come.

It's a 6 voice DCO synthesizer with SSM filters and came out around the same time as the Roland Juno 106. In this video we're only using the Solton Project 100 - and especially its built-in sequencer - basically just recording patterns and then flipping through the presets to create something.

The sequencer doesn't quantize at all from what we can tell - which is a bit odd - but also kind of cool.

It definitely grants you textures and phrases that you might not have settled for were they perfectly in grid.

Jason Basson made a ton of impulsive videos of the Solton Project 100 a while back - does anyone know what happened to him? [He's still around. You can find some of his Solton videos in previous posts here]

"Another video about the very very rare synthesizer released in 1984: the Project 100 of Solton ( 100 because it has 40 sounds and 60 patches for your own sounds ).Here we talk about the trigger in on the Project 100.The Project 100 was the answer on the Jupiter 6 of Roland which was released one year earlier in 1983: also 6 voice polyphonic, midi, and a metal body."

"Already for a long time I had the idea to make a video about the nice sequences in the Waldorf Micro Q. Their are about 30 sounds in the Micro Q who start playing a sequence when you hold down the key on the mother keyboard( here one of my favourite synths in my collection: the Solton Project 100 ).But first I demonstrate the 3(!) oscillators how you can easily create a nice sound."

"I tried to trigger the Project 100 with the MFB 601, but that didn't work.So I made a video only with the Project 100, demonstrating the very nice stringsound.The Project 100 has 3 programmed stringsounds.This was the first one."
