The Waldorf Nave has ignited my interest in Wavetable Synthesis.. It sounds amazing for an Ipad synth and has a lovely interface. It made me look for a great wavetable synth to compliment my other synths in my studio (Voyager, Kronos, ESQ1 and Nord Lead (although these last two will probably have to make room)) and was looking at the Studiologic Sledge a.o.. And then.. i stumbled upon the amazing Solaris (again after reading about it last year) and... ordered it.
So you might say the Nave made me order the Solaris.
This introduction was to explain my seemingly odd comparison of this ipad synth with the solaris. I'm new to wavetable synthesis and the Nave helps me understand and love it. Can anyone tell me if the Solaris can make the same sounds as the Nave? Do the oscillators work similar to Nave's ? I know the Solaris can scan the wavetables but does it work like in Nave? Does the Solaris have something similar to Nave's Spectrum, Brilliance, Noisy control -which i love- Is that standard to Wavetable synths or unique to the Nave? Also the W1*W2 (ring modulation of osc 1 with osc 2) control and Osc*W1 (Ring Modulation with the VA oscillator). I guess the ring modulation is def. possible with the Solaris (i read a bit through the manual).
thanks!
from Nave Manual:
Spectrum -1.00...+1.00
This parameter transposes the spectrum
of a sound, specifically the spectral
envelope. Negative values move the
spectrum down, higher values moves it
up. The default setting is 0, where no
transposition happens. This is the
behaviour of the classic wavetable synthesis.
Brilliance 0.00...1.00
A setting of this parameter is only audible,
when Spectrum is transposed relative to
the original pitch of a sound. Higher
settings result in narrow peaks. This can
lead to the effect, that the perceived pitch
comes from the sound spectrum instead of
the oscillators pitch. Sometimes value changes of this
parameter are partially subtle.
Noisy 0.00...1.00
This parameter adds a noisy sound character
to the Wave oscillator. The spectrum is
unaffected by the setting of this parameter.
