Thanks !

I had some feedbacks from people who hear aliasing in my demo.
I have to say that it is MP3 encoded (320kbps), not fair for a 96khz machine...
And I suspect that people who are hearing the presets from the Waldorf Wavetables or Propher VS waves oscillators think the synth is doing aliasing.
Digital artefacts comes from these original wavetables, but I can't hear no aliasing from the Solaris itself !

I used the internal EQ, and did my presets with headphones : now in my studio I realize that I pushed too much the low eq on some of the presets.
But I have to say that I love to have this 3 band EQ to add some color to patches.

Dammit, is this the longest month or what?! Plus we have had record high temps, it has been like 45° here this week (over 110° for you Fahrenheit types).

The AT on Solaris is quite good for a 0-64 amount. Anxious to see what PAT on Solaris using the VAX77 can do.
You can route anything to anywhere on this beast really deep, years of programming actually....

I guess I should send you a screenshot of the MIDI resolution I am seeing.
If I could get twice the response of what I am getting I would consider that an even better result.
Right now I am showing the 0-64 levels and they are very responsive.

Looks like mine just shipped... Now that's the kind of news that will put some led in your pencil! :wink:

Mine should be a white one as well. (Us old foggies ordered white to help with our blurry, old eyes.)

ScofieldKid...
I am now green all over ... must be some gamma radiation or something.

Hoping my white one will be here in time for a xmas bow!
