Hello John and Jim,
Congrats with this amazing release.
It was a pleasure to follow the development of V2.00 and help as much as I could.
Contribution sent.

Thanks John

Thanks John. Shouldn't you change the screenshot in the Part Name paragraph ?

New OLED displays + graphic LED display succesfully installed ! The later is better in real life than pictured here (se below) https://medias.audiofanzine.com/images/normal/john-bowen-synth-design-solaris-3136581.jpg https://medias.audiofanzine.com/images/normal/john-bowen-synth-design-solaris-31365...

Hi John, great job as always... can't wait !
What will hapen to V1 presets when reading the CF Card with a V2 Solaris ? Do we have to convert each even if we don't need to change anything or will the V2 Solaris seamlessly read them ?

Oh I see... you must find an almost pin to pin compatible solution

Was wondering if this kind of LED display should fit for the main screen...

Outstanding, thanks guys !

Which OS do you use ? AFAIR, the function used to be "local off" in older OS revisions, so you had to put "local off" to "off" if you wanted "local on"...

I'm afraid this means entering the Sharc code... same as analog random parameters

Aggreed.
FYI in PPG Wave 2.X, all wavetables exist in both stepped and smooth versions...

I wonder if this has something to do with the glo.ini file... John?

Thanks a lot Michael, especially love your PPG-like sounds

Global FXs like reverb are generated by the sixth Sharc DSP, which seems to have lots of room for improvments. This is not the case with the other 5 Sharc DSPs that generate 2 voices each... So better FM/PD, CS80 filters, waveshapers, inline FXs, envelope shapes, LFO shapes all depend on these 5 DSP...
