[sdiy] Solaris at NAMM

[Tom Wiltshire]

Yeah, I'd like to see these out in the wild too, although I doubt I  
can justify buying one. I haven't got any more grandmas left to sell,  
unfortunately ;)

It looks like great hardware, but I admit that I was a bit  
disappointed to read the features on the website - a Moog filter, a  
CEM filter, an ARP filter, oscillators from X, feature from Y, etc  
etc. Why design such a great instrument and then use it to copy stuff  
that's already been done? I think the synth world really needs to  
pull its head out of its own backside and start looking *forwards*  
instead.

Still, it does look like a great piece of kit, and if it came with a  
developers kit so I could program for it, I'd go and steal someone  
else's granny and sell her to get one!
