John Bowen Synth Design

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...

We all know what kind of comitment it is to make presets with such a powerfull synth as the Solaris. Many thanks to Brian for this bank !

My guess :
- Windows was set to hide known extension files.
- Then he generated a solaris.raw.raw file ony seeing solaris.raw
- When he decided to remove the fake ".raw" extension, he made a true solaris.raw file...

Point 1) is an absolute requirement for me to fund the OS2 : I wouldn't go that way without 4-voice multitimbrality. I'm also in for point 5) but this is not as vital as point 1). We already have external multiFX units, but nothing could replace a multimode. Full analog drift is also something that ...

Ok for a 200$ commitment for the OS2.0. For the owners who don't want to fund the developement, they could purchase the update later for say 250-300$ (because you need funds now). For new Solaris owners, they could also choose to fund OS2.0 for 200$ when funding their Solaris. Now the features I'd l...

As far as Solaris is already a kind of investment, I would only go for a blackbox -10/20 voice expander driven from Solaris front panel in Sysex with Midi overflow. It would be a waste of money (and maybe long-term maintenance) to have 6 more screens and 42 more encoders. Because I'm already a Solar...
