Long-time Solaris owner François Neumann-Rystow (who goes by 'kalaspace' in the User Forum) has posted a couple of new videos - one which shows a MultiMode Preset from the new v2.0 OS:
Great work, and I look forward to his release of presets for the Solaris, coming soon!
New v2.0 OS Released
I am very happy to announce the release of v2.0 Operating System for the Solaris! This has been a long time in coming, and brings 4-part multitimbre operation to the Solaris, as well as a brand new Oscillator Type which offers Phase Modulation and Phase Distortion.
What do the following entertainment industry veterans all have in common?
•Jean-Michel Jarre (Equinoxe Infinity, Oxygene, Electronica, and many more) •J.J. Abrams (Alias, Lost, Star Trek, Star Wars 7&9) •Harry Gregson-Williams (The Martian, all Shrek films, Wolverine) •Dave Porter (Breaking Bad, The Blacklist) •Ty Unwin (UK composer for BBC, ITV, TLC and Discovery) •Matt Johnson (http://www.thethe.com/)
They all purchased a Solaris! Don’t be left out - get yours ordered today!
New video by Brian Kehew! Not only did he create some wonderful new presets, but he also spent a chunk of his valuable time to make a video of him playing through the 100 sounds he created! A big thanks to Brian for his generous contributions!
Brian is well-known in the synthesizer world, having spent time on the road playing keyboards for The Who, and his own group The Moog Cookbook, as well as having co-authored the book, “Recording the Beatles”. He has served as the Archives Historian for the Bob Moog Foundation, a non-profit whose goal is to preserve the archives of Dr. Robert Moog and to teach children about science, music, and innovation.

I have these comments from Brian:
"I wanted to explore the non-retro parts of the Solaris potential. I think the world has been stuck in 1980s polysynth limitations too long. I'm so excited by this part of the Solaris - the clarity and resolution are incredible, but still using the "language" we speak (of oscillators and filters etc.) to create.
"Many of these sounds evolve over time. I have done some more retro sounds here, while trying to add something modern or more "dense" than was possible 30 years ago. Some of these may become jumping-off points for your own ideas, I hope. Some sounds are just playing with the many interacting modulations, generative patches or sound FX that can go on forever. I don't have time to dial in all the options of controllers for every sound, but a quite a few have a mod-wheel option to use.
"It's quite a variety, and certainly most of these are not possible on any other instrument I know. It's an amazing design, still evolving, and I don't think I will ever "bump my head" on the ceiling of what it can do..."
