Re: Solaris won't stay in tune

In my opinion this is mostly because of the modwheel having issues or not being calibrated properly. I have had this problem on many other synths, latest being the Take 5

Re: More about the new Sequencer functions

Been playing with the new sequencer function and am having a ball! It would be great if we could chain sequences that are different in some kind of way, or chain different presets that have different sequences ? Think equinoxe 7 of jean michel jarre What would be great, too, is if we could choose th...

Re: Solaris as a (basic) sampler?

Hi John, it's true that this type of capability and Lo-Finess is very marketeable at the moment. Personally it would only makes sense to me if it's an easy workflow with some visuals, normalization function, cut, slice, envelope adaptations, easy naming convention strategy, quick way to input names ...

Re: 2.02 random vco parameters freezes but audio continues

just thought i'd pop in to mention the problem is still occuring even with the very latest firmware 2.1.0 Has anyone else had this issue ? Since 2.1.0 am also getting 50% of the time booting issues. I power-on the solaris, all the little screen shows booting... the middle screen does nothing and I c...

mic-pre & coloration vs solaris ? What do you guys use ?

Wondering if anyone has used one of these beauties in conjunction with the solaris ? Instead of hoarding more and more synths I've thinned down my studio a lot and want to get the most out of my actual synths. Tested the UAD plugin and it sounds pretty damn good, you can especially beef up the low f...

Roland da-400 vs solaris

Hi guys, I acquired an S-760 sampler recently with a fully functional DA-400 unit , it seems to be a Rare Roland DA converter that is know for it's pleasant sound. Some people have used it in combination with certain synthesizers. I know this would be blasphemy in view of the 96KHz high audio qualit...

Re: Is ratcheting important to you?

Just wanted to mention it's wonderful to be an owner of this synth, not only do we have a fantastic instrument that keeps getting better. We can be part of a community where you can read a dev (Jim) & John discussing low level internal workings of this instrument. Keep up the good work guys, the...

Re: 2.02 random vco parameters freezes but audio continues

2.02 random vco parameters freezes but audio continues

Hi, Ever since I installed 2.02 I have a lot of stability issues while creating new patches. It's so bad I started saving after almost every parameter tweak. Often I realize changes are not having effect anymore and suddenly see my oscillators are all back at basic default settings while the sound i...

Re: AM/Ringmod help

First I'd like to thank you John for taking the effort in explaining and recording this. I will definitely try and reproduce this experiment here although I don't have a matriarch (which is stereo if im not mistaken) I can probably reproduce it with another synth (my DS Pro2). the exact sound I'm lo...
