"SOLAR 42f is a unique experimental electro-music instrument, an analogue microtonal ambient drone machine. It will inspire you to find a new and spontaneous approach to composing music.
The instrument is oriented for live performances, creating film soundtracks, theatre soundtracks, atmospheric sounds, microtonal and background music. It is an improved version of the older SOLAR 50 model. The instrument was inspired by early electronic musical instruments of the 1920s and 1950s, notably Leo Theremin's «Harmonium» instrument, as well as science fiction film soundtracks."

Solar 42F Jam with Hydrasynth and Waldorf Iridium via External Input

video upload by Longstride

"This is not an amazing ambient music jam I'm afraid, this is just some guy, playing his Solar 42 for fun. I ran my Waldorf Iridium into the Solar via the External Input jack to try it out. The Waldorf was playing an arp sequence with the latch set so it was repeating. Then I played the Solar 42F with the external input coming through and I later overdubbed some Hydra-synth for a bit of variety. I'm not modular patch pro, very much still learning my way by experimentation."

Synapse Legend HZ: Dark Cinematic Retro Ambient Presets Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

"Synapse Audio Legend HZ 'Neo-Noir Echoes' is a collection of 50 patches: 7 Arps, 6 Basses, 6 Keys, 7 Leads, 6 Pads, 6 Strings, 6 Synths, 6 Textures.
The soundset is inspired by sci-fi movies, soundtracks, dystopian stories, urban landscapes, noise ambient albums, experimental modern art and sound design.

🏙 Get the soundset: https://bit.ly/4ceYEcE

The bank spans a broad spectrum of timbres: dark, noisy, lo-fi, retro, romantic, melancholic, nostalgic, soundscapes, atmospheric, detuned, cold, distant, dull, big, massive, epic, bright, orchestral, distorted, metallic, tense, atonal, non-harmonic, fx-like, evolving, moving, sweeping.

Since Legend HZ is a replica of an old analog synthesizer, I aimed to highlight the vintage, imperfect, slightly distorted character of the sound.
I used oscillators drift, saturation, and distortion in different blocks of the plugin, used noise as a sound source and as a modulation source, and used FM modulation, which can significantly distort the tone. And of course, the famous Filter Bank - it can noticeably add color to the sound.

The soundset is suitable for many genres: ambient, electronica, cinematic, retrowave, synthwave, darkwave, IDM, trip-hop, lounge, downtempo, pop, chill out, new age, trance, deep, progressive, techno, breaks, jungle, drum and bass, dub and others.

Ensure that you are using the latest software version.
To add presets to the collection, open the plugin browser, click Menu in the upper left corner, then select Import Folder, and specify the folder on your computer."

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.

Roland MKS-7 Epic SYNTH Demo | Juno 106 in a RACK!

video upload by Mamotreco

"Playing the Roland MKS-7 Super Quartet analog synth in 6-voice "whole mode" (where the Chord and Melody parts are triggered together). Patches are all made using the Ctrlr VST. I used a couple of @EspenKraft Juno 106 patches as a starting point and modified them further myself.
#rolandsynth #analogsynth #rolandmks7

NOTE: The Roland MKS-7 accepts Roland Juno 106 patches but the VCA may run a bit hot. You may to turn VCA values down to avoid distortion.

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"

Solar 42 anti-GAS therapy 💸

video upload by Speldosa

"I created this song, that I named 'Drune', as a form of anti-GAS therapy with the respect to the Solar 42, where I set out to create an ambient piece with some form of drone bass together with a layer that used a 5-step sequence (the same number of steps that the Solar 42 sequencer has). I'm pleasantly surprised with how far I could get with the gear I already own.

I play the Expressive E Osmose live (using the factory patch called 'Stellaris') and send it to the Analog Four mkII where I add some reverb. The white noise and bass comes from a single, monophonic patch on the Analog Four mkII, where I play sustained drone notes utilizing all four voices. Everything then gets sent to the Syntakt where the additional elements are added, using a single pattern, before heading to the Analog Heat +FX for mastering. What you hear is recorded directly from the latter."

First Jams with the Solar 42

video uploads by Uncle Tony

"Second shot at making something with the Solar 42. This thing has incredible range. Wild noise and beautiful sounds. Here's one on the beautiful end."

1. Swell - Solar 42

Love that there's a 5-step sequence on this. Love anything in 5. I found this neat quirk of the Solar 42 where if you touch the nut that secures some of the patch points with a cable that's already plugged in, it causes the pitch on all the oscillators to detune together in this really nice way. Super cool.

2. Solar 42 - Grasslands

Here's one that's more laid back, peaceful and expansive. Love the white noise generators on this thing. The loop and hold functionality on voices 4 and 5 are really handy, too. I used those to make the repeating siren noises about halfway through.

3. Scamper - Solar 42

Here's something a little hectic and dissonant. Still learning to mix and balance the all the voices together.

4. Solar 42 Improv In G

Second shot at making something with the Solar 42. This thing has incredible range. Wild noise and beautiful sounds. Here's one on the beautiful end.

5. First Jam with the Solar 42

Getting to know the Solar 42 from @ELTAmusic. This thing is amazing. Looking forward to getting a better handle on it.
