Thats really good news, because the ASB series are by far the best VAs on the market (and quite a few years now already) Maybe the Virus TI can get close, it has more specs, but the sound of the ASBs is amazing.
I had the Minimax, Prodyssey and still have the PRO12
The minimax sounds really good next to a Moog Voyager, ofc it lacks the real analogue feel and sound, but it comes close really realy good. I liked it more than the MAcbeth M3X for moogish bass, it works so fast for quick bass patching the minimax, uncomaprable with other VAs.
The prodyssey is also great, lots of controls on it.
but my allround fav would be the PRO12 this things sounds so retro, its unbelievable, and not even like a Prophet but more like some 70s itialian movie score stuff and so, absolutly instant timetraveling...(and even more when you hook up a (tape)echo after it, wow.
I sold the most of em, because i got the voyager instead of the minimax, a PolyEvolver keyboard instead of a Prodyssey. I hope my PRO12 will be sold before the Solaris arives, because like John said, there will be much overlapping in sound, although not the same, thats understandable.
But 2nd hand these things are worth twice their money without doubt....
Forget 80 voices and 20 multifx, this sounds just phat
Cant wait to lay my hands on the Solaris btw....
