John Bowen Synth Design

as most folks know, with old analogs the filter is only 1 part of the equation. The CS-80 sounds so big and present when you play it and that presence cannot be easily emulated. The ribbon and polyaftertouch (and chorus and ring mod and ...) also contribute to a unique playing experience.

That ...

Does anyone know the technical details of these (being lazy and not searching the Web yet)?

John - I'm sending you what I have on it to your bigplanet email address.

So what color will the ribbon be for those folks that ordered the white casing? (or has the white option gone away?)

Very dark might still look nice as a contrast - have to see it first though.

Am I the only person that hates built-in effects sections on synthesizers?

True, I do have external hardware fx and I don't play out live, but still... I see these effects sections built into synths and wonder whether the horsepower and panel space could have been better used for more synth-type ...

Thank you sir. I know you have NAMM coming up and all, so whenever you get time, that is fine with me. I'm not taking my name off the pre-order list.

I know it's a boring request, but could someone post some WAV files of just the raw oscillator waveforms? i.e. - single oscillator, all filtering, modulation and effects bypassed, just a simple low, middle, high C of a square, sawtooth, triangle, etc?

thanks

I guess this is the best place for my question w/o needlessly starting another topic.

Does anyone have the final dimensions for the Solaris? I'm trying to arrange some gear and knowing exactly how wide and deep the Solaris is would be a big help.

Thanks
