Has anyone heard the 3 x sets of pres. from Bonoist Guitton 4 Solaris 4.1?
This is so Sci-Fi and Drony. Awesome stuff. I would love to see some old Vincent Price movies re-done w/ Solaris, even Boris Karloff. They are so powerful I have to drop my sliders down 60% ! I seem to be stuck in the ambient thing right now, so this was rather refreshing.

Aww thanks ! it's my natural bad tendency ( big Skinny Puppy fan )

I've done quite some also for Quantum Wave and Rotor EX ( great synth ! )

Many unpublished for Python Pro but with my dumb random preset designation unuseful even to me !

Nobody, I mean nobody gets more timbre and flavor out of a synth than you my friend. Going through your presets is better than having a video, as each preset is a lesson, and sounds like a whole different synth.

In ProWave your presets are more Prophet-ish, as it lacks the GUI and options that Solaris has. But in ProWave, again you demonstrate that high level of quality and precision.

I wish I had you making presets for the Oberheim Matrix-12 / XPander back in the day. I could have been a contender.


Just wanted to thank you for an incredible contribution to the John Bowen Museum of Synths, truly inspiring.

may I use the opportunity to add my respect and thanks as well
your presets challenge - they don't just want to impress or please the cheap way
soundscapes with grits and edges

cheers, Tom

Add me as a fan, decimator

Makes me want to buy QWave from John Bowen now !!

Thanks again !

I'am far from having harnessed all the possibilities in Solaris since there's so much to explore and I'am more enthused when there's a wide range of sources and modulation sources.

Beware also that some presets have many facets depending how you play them : first notes played, velocity, aftertouch if you got it, modwheel actions and you may have a whole box of chocolates inside one preset !

Very often I have to replay more than 10 times a peculiar preset to nail the sound progression I seek ( not to mention some additionnal realtime mouse action )

Go ahead Jimmy and test also Rotor EX while you are at it !

I'll be rapping to JB after Musikmesse, I do not wish to bother him now, as he is mad @ me anyway. Once they all come back from the show and have patted each others backs on their successes, he will probably tolerate my shortcomings w/ ease.


I will look into Rotor EX, thanks,

Jimmy,
Now, now....I'm not mad @ you for anything!!

Do you mean rapping as in talking/chatting, or hitting me on the knuckles with something?
