It should be close to these measurements from the prototype:

38.5 inches wide
16 inches deep
6 inches high

Sorry to not list in cm.....

Hi JB, how much will it weigh ? from the NAMM vids, it looks huge, i don't mind though. Do you have any updated models of what the new Solaris will look like ?

It seems the majority of the weight is actually in the really nice Fatar TP/8SK keyboard. The chassis and the circuit board probably won't contribute to too much more of that weight.

OK, here's a very rough idea, courtesy of my bathroom scale:
~33 pounds

That is a very good choice by using the TP/8SK keyboard.
Monophonic Aftertouch on that works well on other units I've played.
I am use to playing Solaris in software w/ 88 voices, but never go that low or high.
As far as a 76 note version of the Fatar, I doubt we would ever need that many notes either.
Solaris will definately be the lightest, FATTEST BASTARD ever made. :wink:
