[sdiy] Synthesizer by Committee/ Solaris

[Paul Burns]

Hmm...
 interesting mp3 of the Solaris on that site there ... it sounds EXACTLY
like my MicroKorgXL.. ohh wait .. that particular bank was programmed by
Howard Scarr ...
My MicroKorg XL was 339 GBP...

I haven't really been following this SDIY thread, but with regards to the
Solaris, John has kept those who pre-ordered (I'm one of those who
pre-ordered) very much in the loop and we have had, as a "committee", some
real influence in parts of the design and function. It's been a very
interesting process to see John solicit ideas and see some of those ideas
actually implemented. I think it's very unique to have such intimate and
real involvement in a project like this. Kudos to John Bowen.

-- A more realistic design study in modern synthesizers would be John
-- Bowen's Solaris:
--
-- http://www.johnbowen.com/solaris-overview.html
--
-- That currently sells for $3,999, and they build them in smallish batches.
--
-- That's not to say it is the "next great thing" (a whole separate
-- discussion better held in, say, analogue heaven).  Just that its a
-- real product that is being produced and sold, so is a more tangible
-- proof-point for discussion about the realities of the business of
-- designing, building, selling and supporting a synth than some magazine
-- readership's wet dream.
