Re: Basic Collection

None of my presets actually use seq patterns. However, I once saved one of my template presets with pattern 2 assigned, accidentally. For the moment you just can ignore the message. In case you post the presets affected, I'd be able to fix this issue for a future release. Sorry for the annoying conf...

Re: Expression (Volume) Pedal Issue/Question

I run an FC7 with the Solaris here which works well. I assume it's just a setting (per patch, as John pointed out).

Re: Solaris won't stay in tune

I never noticed this on my machine. To eliminate one possible source of issues, I'd try to disconnect any MIDI and USB cables during startup and check whether that helps to improve the situation. In case it does, I'd check what MIDI messages are being sent via the cables.

Re: Wavetable numbers

Isn't that possible? * OSC1 to "WT" * Modulation 1 to LFO or EG * Modulation destination to "Shape" * Modulation amount to your linkings * Optionally LpEG1 X or LpEG1 Y to emulate the eight stage envelope of the MIcrowave I What's IIRC missing is a stepped vs smooth parameter whi...

Re: Initial note onset delay when using Sus pedal in Preset Mode

I also stumbled upon this bug rather quickly. I thought it was a "quite obvious" bug, and it also was mentioned Sep 17, 2014 ( http://forums.johnbowen.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=16244&p=21025&hilit=hold#p21025 ) Thanks for the pointer to switching off preset mode, since I didn't ...

Re: Vibrato LFO improvements

Ah, keypad. Thanks for the worthy hint.

The level parameter accepts integer values only, though. Thus I keep my request in place.

It's a minor issue, though, since I can use another LFO and apply it to each individual oscillator as a workaround.

Re: Ring Modulation...and more!

I played a bit with the ring modulator, resulting in a couple of sounds, including »Poor Man's Wurly«. I didn't manage to create really outstanding stuff with it, though. In case someone knows of some tutorial resource (including audio material) posting I'm glad for any pointers.

Re: Default Velocity Setting

I'd like to add that this feature request is not for my particular needs. I use a template of my own with many other settings pimped to my personal values anyway.

Default Velocity Setting

The default (starting the Solaris without card inserted) is about 40%. It tok me some trial and error to find a better setting. For my taste a setting of 17% is ideal. Though this may depend on personal tastes, I believe that a default setting of 17% was of better use for most users than the current...

Vibrato LFO improvements

Thanks for the plethora of LFOs on the Solaris. The fifth is a dedicated vibrato LFO. Great. With the modulation wheel set to enabled, it only takes effect as soon the modulation wheel is moved. Great. In case one wants to use the LFO for some light vibrato, increased by the modulation wheel, things...

Heretic - Korg Kronos played by Jordan Rudess and Marco Parisi at Messe 2015

Well, it's not a Solaris, but it's of great joy and pleasure to see two pros in action: https://youtu.be/jshQWP0gQ-k I like the hardware of the Solaris. There's no other synth I know of that makes programming that straightforward. I see two minor points of possible improvement: * Rastered encoders. ...
