My take is this: (just my two cents)
Bowen is a USA synth designer working with a European company --- I have actually worked with some European companies, in France, and not a single one of them would wish to jeopardize the reputation of a star designer by failing to deliver: Sonic Core may be in the process of creating innumerable tarnish to their reputation since they are the ones building it, right? It is they who took it upon themselves to build units and deliver, right? It is they, who are responsible, even they could pretend in some technicolor dream that they are not and as a buying public that we do not see it. There are many amazing and reliable German companies: JOMOX comes to mind and a few others. I hope that SONIC CORE can get their act together because, ultimately, they will impact the perceptions of people that may wish to buy a Sonic Core product, given their performance on this project. I am certain they will read this email and that they *CAN, AND WILL, AND MUST DO BETTER!* Sonic Core has a chance to show the world what they can do, how well they can deliver and that they are high integrity. They cannot allow themselves the luxury of letting down their market, as well as their future and prospective market.
I am buying the SOLARIS because of others that I know, whom I respect that own one, and because of Bowen's reputation. Dave, talented as he is, knows that many people will buy DSI instruments because they *DO SOUND BETTER* than VST emulations. However, given the choice between Solaris and Prophet-12, and given that I own a lot of the great synths, I will stick with the Solaris. I own a KYMA Pacarana and I cannot over-emphasize the value of 96KHz --- in my Pro-Tools HD I use 96KHz and you can hear the difference. However, for a live instrument, on the road, in a gig in a crowded club or auditorium, the Prophet-12, Solaris and VST cheap synths all sound the SAME once they go through the cheesy live-sound board and booming speakers --- however, for studio work, you will hear the difference.
So I await my SOLARIS with patience too. I am excited and positive, and, it will be a very fine instrument to use --- some of the online demos on Soundcloud prove that. I expect a SOLARIS delivered in a couple of months or so and will update you when I do with not just soundcloud but with some cool videos.
Cheers!
