Solaris and old Prophet VS patch compatibility?
Posted: Mon Sep 08, 2008 11:14 am
With the Solaris having the original VS waves onboard, and with the inclusion of a joystick or touchpad to do vector synthesis, seems like the Solaris can easily replicate the signal path of an original VS (and of course do much, much, more).
Has the idea of making the Solaris compatible with old VS patches via sysex been seriously considered? I suppose the Solaris would have to find an appropriate filter mode to use (e.g. a CEM emulation) as well as remapping the analog chorus settings to digital FX, but that would be such a great way to have instant classic sound libraries available on the new synth. Not to mention bringing all kinds of new possibilities to favorite VS patches (like loading old DX7 patches into a SY99 or FS1R).
I'm sure you guys have thought of this, and I just didn't see the posting?
