After I heard about this, I posted the following on my Solaris Forum. I hope his son won’t mind that I reprinted his message:

I know many of you here are aware of the many posts and contributions a fellow Solaris owner known as Jimmy V. (as well as dawman or several others) has made to the Solaris ...

But there is a formant filter in the Scope system! We have the design also in the Solaris keyboard. I think it’s only available in Scope separately as a Modular unit (also in some of my Zarg Music plug-ins).

Up to now, hardware Solaris, even it´s a brilliant synthesizer, sucks MIDI wise when it comes to be a keyboard controller instrument.
The MIDI implementation isn´t complete at all.
I don´t need more keyboards anyway and own the Kurzweil PC361 which is a VERY nice MIDI controller, has the Fatar ...

Hello Everyone,

I’m not able to recall the exact issues regarding the way XITE handles the communications busses, and I don’t yet know if Scope 7 has any way of working around the problems. Let’s see what Holger has to say.

I really do appreciate the interest everyone has shown in my Scope plug ...

Good idea

Are all three synths (Pro-One, Pro-Tone and Pro-Wave) emulations of Sequential Circuits Pro One?

Just only for the record:

SC ProTone and Zarg ProOne are emulations of the SCI Pro One monophonic analog synth,- but w/ advanced features compared to the hardware synth.

Zarg Prowave is the follow ...

While on this subject is there any news from John Bowen regarding optimising his devices for XITE?

Cheers lads
Hi All,

While I do understand the frustration of not being able to run my bigger plugins (Solaris, Quantum Wave) with more polyphony on the XITE systems, the situation is that these 2 ...

OK, I finally got to check the panning modules in both Solaris and Quantum Wave, and these I copied from my Pro-Wave/Prophet Plus work. I see no difference, so I guess the next question would be, does anyone see this problem in the Prophet Plus or Pro-Wave?

John B.

p.s. one additional thought ...

The regular version should be the one that has all the oscs and filter plus RD slots. Typically, the 'slim' versions of plugins I've done have been without any of the modules that the RD slots allow you to load....

But I'll have to check later, since I'm not running Scope at the moment. It might be ...

I need to post a clarification or two, since being contacted about this earlier today...

1) this requires a compatible set of RD modules to work. There are no oscillators and no filter on board
2) It was not 'optimized' for XITE; this is an old Beta that I sent Jimmy some time ago, and he decided ...

I think he said it doesn't happen on some other synths, just the Solaris v5 and the QuantumWave.

I suspect the pan sub-module I used for these 2, since as I recall, it was a newer module that wasn't available when many of the other Creamware devices were made. I'll have to investigate more, once I ...

you found a bug. i'll let John know.
So, Gary did write, and all I can say is if it works in Scope 4.5 and earlier, but not in v5.0+, how can the 'bug' be in the device, and not the v5 software?

Anyway - I'll have to get Scope 5 and and a working version of the SDK for it, and see what I can do ...

Yes, they brought one of two protos to Los Angeles last January (2012) for presentation at the NAMM show, then visited Zimmer the day after, and left it there for him. (Much easier than shipping it back to Germany, by the way!)

currently you can reach any of the 35 encoders to directly tweak parameters but there are almost 1000 parameters !!!
And it is still quite easy to use, though.

Actually, there's around 1240 parameters!

Hmmm, well, that IS odd! The guy I spoke with was pretty high up - but perhaps he was trying to mislead me?

Check out the Italain Company called Viscount.
They have a Gran Piano/Controller called Physis that uses 6 x SHARC DSP's.
Saw it on a pic, read it has DSPs, surprised you already know that´s SHARCs.
Very interesting for me too !

I asked the main engineer at the booth showing the Physis about ...

I'd like to see Sonic Core gut the ASBs and sell them as MIDI controllers to use with the PC versions. I can't justify buying the ASBs of MiniMax, Pro12, and B2003 because I already own the PC versions and I only do studio work, but I'm drooling over having dedicated controllers rather than using a ...

Yes, very true, the Solaris does seem to be the successor to the ASB's though it's not an emulation of one board but the components of many, in a very similar way to the Arturia Origin which I do have and I must admit that I do like the look of the Solaris and what it can do but what I like about ...

Ah, good one!

well, you certainly have the option to purchase at a higher price, if you want!
