Good start for a Preset Editor for the Solaris.
Thanks !

We need that !

Really nice pads !

Thank you John, that's the point !

Could we suppress the shape parameter for the oscillators where it doesn't have any effect ?

The 3 band eq is really useful to add some color to the patches. The way the knob are calibrated to edit the frequency is ok for the bass range (40hz-200hz) but is really too slow to go to the mid & hi frequency range quickly. Could we have for freq 2 & 3 a calibration more based on step cha...

As discussed in another part of the forum, it would be fantastic to have an ‘analog random’ control signal, to give some adjustable drift to the pitch or phase of the oscillators and to the filters and eg's.

I like to use arpeggiators linked to the master midi clock of my DAW (protools). For the moment the clock of the arpeggio of the Solaris can be synchronized with the input midi clock but with an offset equal to the first played note. So I you don't play this first note perfectly on the grid , your a...

oh yes, please share !

Today I was at my studio without inspiration... I spent my time to make some direct sound comparisons between my Solaris and some of my polyphonic analogue synths. I began with the Jupiter 8. My preset 11 is a simple & warm sound that I love. The first thing to do is to place all the faders / cu...

Nice ! Thanks John.

Another thing about the ribbon, why do we have 2 ribbons in the modulations sources ?
Thanks !

Excellent soumds Alex! Thanks for posting. Thanks ! I had some feedbacks from people who hear aliasing in my demo. I have to say that it is MP3 encoded (320kbps), not fair for a 96khz machine... And I suspect that people who are hearing the presets from the Waldorf Wavetables or Propher VS waves os...

For those who are waiting, I did a quick demo from my own bank of presets. These presets are mainly edited or created from factory presets. The sounds are quite simple but corresponding to my tastes (analogue)... Some are recorded with a very little bit of reverb (Protools Air plugin). Sorry I'm a b...

Hello ! I'm new on this forum, and very very lucky because I received my Solaris this morning ! Dark one. Too early for a real first feedback but I'm very excited by what I hear. A little lost to understand and "visualise" the way of the signal in the synth for the moment. Sorry for the en...
