I’m very happy to announce the release today of a brand new bank of 100 wonderful sounds by the synth expert Brian Kehew. Brian is well-known in the synthesizer world, having spent time on the road playing keyboards for The Who, and his own group The Moog Cookbook, as well as having co-authored the book, “Recording the Beatles”. He has served as the Archives Historian for the Bob Moog Foundation, a non-profit whose goal is to preserve the archives of Dr. Robert Moog and to teach children about science, music, and innovation. You can read more about Brian’s background at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Kehew or
https://www.facebook.com/brian.kehew.9.
You can find the Preset Bank and a text file list of the presets below. I’ve labeled it Bank10, which is the next available bank in the Factory Preset group, but if you already have a bank10, then just rename it to the next highest bank number (Bank11, etc.), and place it in your Presets folder.
Many thanks to Brian for his splendid work - many months were spent on this set of sounds, over a 2-year period (Brian is a very busy guy!!). Brian’s work with film is reflected in a number of these sounds, and he will be posting some ‘Performance Notes’ videos in the future.
I have these comments from Brian:
I wanted to explore the non-retro parts of the Solaris potential. I think the world has been stuck in 1980s polysynth limitations too long. I'm so excited by this part of the Solaris - the clarity and resolution are incredible, but still using the "language" we speak (of oscillators and filters etc.) to create.
Many of these sounds evolve over time. I have done some more retro sounds here, while trying to add something modern or more "dense" than was possible 30 years ago. Some of these may become jumping-off points for your own ideas, I hope. Some sounds are just playing with the many interacting modulations, generative patches or sound FX that can go on forever. I don't have time to dial in all the options of controllers for every sound, but a quite a few have a mod-wheel option to use.
It's quite a variety, and certainly most of these are not possible on any other instrument I know. It's an amazing design, still evolving, and I don't think I will ever "bump my head" on the ceiling of what it can do...
