Solaris Synthesizer (in Arbeit)
Drawing on years of experience, Synthesizer Guru John Bowen has crafted a new masterpiece. John teamed up with SONIC CORE to produce Solaris.
 
 Solaris is a synthesizer that truly lives up
to the idea of no compromises:
- Solaris is as flexible as a modular system, but easier to use - with five 2 x 40 character display sections, one 240 x 64 graphic display, and 40 knobs, the Solaris is capable of great depth in sound manipulation, but designed to be as easy to use as the vintage synths of the past for which John Bowen is known.
- Sound quality is paramount - newly created synthesis algorithms provide unparalleled quality; signal processing handled by SHARC floating-point processors. Internal processing is done at 96 kHz; audio rate modulation provided with sample-accurate precision.
- The Solaris is a purchase which will last for years, through new algorithm "expansion packs" and OS updates.
 John Bowen
John Bowen war maßgeblich beteiligt an der Entwicklung zahlreicher Legenden der Synthesizer-Geschichte, z.B. dem Prophet 5, Prophet VS, T-8, und der Korg Wavestation Serie.
John Bowen started out as the first official Moog clinician in 1973, demonstrating and contributing to designs for Moog Music. In 1976 he met Dave Smith, and started working with Dave to promote his Model 800 sequencer, and then helped specify the Model 700 Programmer. This association led to development of the Prophet 5, and then on to the entire line of Sequential Circuits products. John was responsible for the original 40 factory programs of the Prophet 5, and as Sequential's Product Specialist created 99% of all of the factory sounds and sequences (as well as the original Prophet VS waveshapes), also contributing to the User Interface (UI) design for the following Sequential products: Prophet 5, Prophet 10, Prophet 600, Prophet T-8, Prophet VS, Drumtraks, 6-Trak, MultiTrak, Tom, Max, Studio 440, and the Prophet 2000 and 3000 libraries.
Now John has teamed up with Holger Drenkelfort and Juergen Kindermann (SONIC CORE GmbH) to produce the Solaris synthesizer.
"We had all worked together in the development of the Scope DSP platform, which as a development tool I found to be sonically superior to any other available native 'synth construction' programs on the market. However, I needed a new and more powerful system to produce the Solaris properly. Using their expertise, SONIC CORE has created brand-new hardware and operating system software - there is nothing inside based on the Scope system. Also, we brought in a talented dsp programmer to write completely new algorithm code specifically for the Solaris. However, now that SONIC CORE has acquired rights to the SCOPE dsp library, I will be able to incorporate their special modules as well in Solaris. I'm also discussing licensing other algorithm work for future dsp expansion packs. It's my plan to have the Solaris act as a capable 'host system' for a wide variety of synthesis types, while still providing an ease-of-use factor." www.johnbowen.com
 Hans Zimmer
Hans Zimmer zählt zu den erfolgreichsten und einflussreichsten Filmkomponisten Hollywoods.
"If anyone out there can take what we love about the elusive quality of analogue synthesizers and add the inventiveness and versatility that we get from digital, it'll be John. There is no question in my mind he understands that fundamentally the sound has to be true and uncompromised for a bunch of circuits to turn into a musical instrument. There are many synths out there that are fun and even inspiring. But it takes a certain magic and voodoo, a certain set of ears and sonic heart to build something lasting, something timeless."
