John Bowen Synth Design

scope4live, I had the exact same problem. After 3 attempts to install the new OS I figured that the downloaded files were corrupted. So I then deleted the files I first downloaded and then downloaded it again. Then did everything all over again per JB's instructions and this time it worked right ...

I think it would have been great to have the possibility to adjust some of the delay parameters from either the modulation wheel or the joystick in real time. Some other synthesizers has this feature, and it is sometimes really great to add the delay in an easy way when doing solos.

On the other hand, it would be nice to see this as a globally function as in a later OS version.
Thanks for the good work and support ...

Lately I have been playing with a band where the guitar players have their guitars tuned 1 semitone down. Not a problem I thought, and assumed I could use the transpose function on my keyboards. :)
Now, it works fine on all the other (Kurzweil PC3, Kronos, Yamaha CP5), but the Solaris is not as ...

I will check that out if / when this happens again.
Thanks

I have a rather strange problem with my Solaris. Sometimes it starts to play the last notes I played by itself just like there is a very long delay there. When this happens there is no other way to get out this modus other than to restart the synth. I can switch to other programs, but the delay ...
