I really believe in open source things, but I think that there is not enough users to put the Solaris Os in the open source world. I can give now 50 to 100 $ for the bugs. I can also give some money each month with a subscription. I do that with ardour, I give 1 $ each month. It's not important but ...

Hum, thank you for the new and keep in touch ... i wait for the sustain pedal and the sample ... but we will see ... take your time, it is already a chance if someone work on it, better than nothing :) (A good thing, when I use the soloris as a master keyboard to control my andromeda, the sustain pe...

Hello 7 years after I answer ! samplelength can be found in musics editors softwares by setting in the preferences the time format. For example with Mhwaveedit under linux, just go in edition, preference , other, time format , samples. In the principal windows, select all your sample and read the nu...

Honestly, with my personal level to use your marvelous machine, even if all is not perfect, I want to say that I use it all the days of the week with a lot of musical pleasure, during hours and hours ! Because the sound can be already perfect and so alive. It is alway a happiness. So because of that...

Hi,

I have a new idea, I tried to found it in the user feature request but seem to no exist. Maybe it's to much to ask but maybe not a lot of work ? would it be possible to apply modulations to the wave parameter ? one might program a sweep of the different waves like in the waldorf Q

I need to adjust my last post, because i made a mistake, I tested to plug the solaris on my sound card (multiface II) but not my others synthesizers. Indeed they are plugged on a midi interface plugged on the computer with a usb connection. So it can not disrupt my computer system. So I tried to plu...

Just for info I have an opposite problem. I use midi sequences from my daw (ardour4) to the solaris midi connected (with a multiface II) and it work fine. ardour out ---> solaris in = work fine But when the solaris is connected midi out to the multiface midi in, I have problems and it disrupt latenc...

The same happened today in my solaris but it worked well again with a reboot ...

Thanks John and good courage for your work for the new OS ! I will wait quietly and now i can plug the sustain on the solaris and use it playing on the promega, the 2 keyboards are not far :mrgreen: With all of this i tried a lot of things and I used the programmable CC. when I use the pedal sustain...

Happy birthday !!

Hello, I have a little problem, when I play the Solaris from another keyboard (a GEM promega 3 plugged midi or usb) with his sustain pedal, all work fine from the keyboard (control change, volume) but not the sustain. What can I do to make it working ? If I plug the sustain pedal in the Solaris the ...

Hi

Here I use the Solaris with ardour4 with a physical MIDI cable and it work without problem.
