That's a bit unfair, I reckon. Show me a single 80's synth that has  
anything like the processing power in Solaris. It's got 6 SHARC  
processors, and does all it's audio calculation in 32-bit floating  
point at 96KHz. That's definitely a 21st century specification.

Whether it does anything genuinely new with all that power is  
obviously a separate question.
