Expression Pedal for Solaris

I have Mission Engineering EP-1 plugged into the Expression Pedal input and can't get it to change anything. This is a 10k "low impedance" expression pedal. I have a TRS cable connecting it to the Solaris. It is my understanding that the Solaris takes this input and routes it to "Expr...

Re: Using the SPDIF at 44.1 kHz.

Sam, this is what I've done. Set UCX to internal clock @96k sample rate. plug IN and OUT cables to Solaris from RME. RME driver reports signal at 48khz. Sounds fine, but it is not at 96k according to the RME driver. Set up this way, the sync light flashes to indicate a valid signal, but it never goe...

Re: Announce when you receive your Solaris!

S/N 0142 has landed! I have just gotten it plugged in an am playing the first bank. The sound quality is completely over-the-top. Way better than any softsynth I own, and I have plenty of top shelf offerings. This is another league. So smooth, but with guts, harmonic richness. The hardware is very h...

Nice long video demo!

It is not in English... Japanese? At any rate, any synth enthusiast can easily follow along. Sounds fantastic, and the ease of navigating the UI is apparent.
