Dan keeps calling it "step down" circuitry, but it's actually DIVIDE down circuitry that creates the sound and unlimited polyphony. There's a single high frequency oscillator in it, and each of the notes is derived by dividing that oscillator by a given value. So unlimited polyphony - from a single oscillator. Pretty cool.
I‘m no expert on the Solina, but in Organs you have 12 High frequency oscillators (one for each key and their octaves) and and a flip flop (or bistable multivibrator) for each octave and i think it’s the same thing here. So, i don‘t think it‘s just one oscillator.
@@erlannderrantem6972 The original Solina had one high frequency oscillator, then 12 divisor circuits to generate the 12 semitones, then divisors for each octave for each of those tones. That way you didn't have to keep 12 separate oscillators in tune, they would always be in tune because there is only one master oscillator.
should this also mean that the waveforms are in "sync".. guess if you sample one of these, and the sample triggers at same time, but waveforms play at the same time, they get out of "sync".. not sure how I could explain what I mean.
@@AndrewTSq I'm not sure exactly what you are asking but I'm "pretty sure" that all of the tones across the keyboard are always "on", meaning the master VCO is on and feeding the 12 semi tone dividers and those are feeding the octave dividers and then when keys are played filters and VCA are opened and closed with envelopes. All the tones should be consistently in phase with each other . . .at least relatively so as I don't know if the dividers cause a bit of delay or not. I haven't researched it recently but I may have read that there could be some LFOs modulating the divider circuits to produce out of phase chorusing?
Behringer isn't a perfect company in many regards, but the engineers at their synth team are some of the best in the industry. IMO they currently make the best bang for the buck analog synths.
@ the Korg stuff is okay, but IMO Moog's cheaper stuff isn't very versatile which are their biggest draw backs. At around the $600 mark IMO the Poly D and MonoPoly are almost unmatched in features. The 2600 is $500 right now and is SUPER feature rich and at $261 the Model D is killer. That said, at this price point to me something like a Hydrasynth Explorer or Arturia's MiniFreak/MicroFreak are the way to go.
I used an Arp Solina plugged into an old Harmony guitar amp to work out harmonies when scoring strings on my first album gig in 1980. It was amazingly helpful then, and the nostalgia calls to me still today.
Thank you for reminding me of this film, and finally, I now know what the instrument was.. Downloading the film as I type, and putting my deposit down on a Behringer Solina after I finish this.. ... hopefully my skills are worthy enough to attempt to reproduce some of the sounds of the film.. 🎼🎶🎶🎶🎵
@@80smusicproducer Waiting no. I ordered it 2 days ago from Sweetwater. I have most of the other Behringer synths. The Solina is pretty limited to that characteristic sound but with a price drop to $259 I figured what the hell. I'm going to experiment with some other choruses/ensemble fx to give it a little more variety. I really want a Synthoma Elkorus but maybe I can find a way to gang together some cheap BBD pedals.

So... this looks like a 70hp case like the D and Wasp. Does this mean I can put my D, Wasp, a Cat AND this in a Behringer Eurorack GO case? Will it be able to power all 4?
That makes sense for some other synths....but this thing uses very simple stuff compared to what there is a shortage off. My guess is delays due to China's policy of zero tolerance for COVID.
Behringer promises are getting to be as elusive as the Tesla Roadster and a politician’s campaign promises…😔 Maybe they should think of producing their own [expletive] chips?! ✌🏻😎🎹🌴🌞
Oh they've inbuilt a Small Stone, they know exactly who the target market is, and it's those of us who can't afford an Eminent 310 to play Jarre's stuff.
Is my DIGITAL workstation Korg Krome EX keyboard compatible with that ANALOG Behringer Solina String-Ensemble? If not, what should I buy to be compatible and take full advantage? Thank you.
Of the videos I've seen, I wish someone would demo the Solina by doing what it's best at.... Turn off all the other stuff, engage the Violin, Viola and Modulation functions. Play. Then I'll tell you if it's an accurate reproduction. Nobody ever used the horn section. I guess because it's a Euro company, but Jean Michelle Jarre gets all the love for using the Solina with a Small Stone like thats the quintessential sound, but this synth shined in a million records by providing a beautiful pad that cut through anything.
@@jdrukman Very good point. I forgot about that. Just don't really even think of the guy when I'm on the topic of the ARP String Ensemble. I own one myself.
@@BryanJohnson1969 -- chip shortages have affected other industries, not just synthesizer companies. Some companies had chips in back stock, and were therefore able to put out small releases -- but the Behringer strategy involves high volume. So even as chips become available again, it will be a while before B has enough to go ahead with another release
@@Jobotubular It seems there are very few chips in this one from the demo circuit board they showed the world. It looks like maybe just a MIDI chip or two. I think that if they could get a decent sized batch of them out to the world they would do so. Before COVID, the Neutron sold out pretty quickly and it took awhile before they were available everywhere. If they put too few of them out there on initial release, it will get people mad and some people will flip their units on EBay for double the retail price.
@@josephwright5921 there are actually a lot of components in an analogue divide down circuit. It just may not seem that way from a glance at a PCB as SMT components are tiny compared to the old through-hole tech
Great ... another synth thing reminding me of me 1st band in the 79/81 time. We had the Farfisa string orchestra ... a big YEAH to Beringer 👄 Thanks a lot fot the demo 💚
@@Wagoo hey, I did hear all comparisons and reviews at the time. I bought the Behringer model D, played with it and didn’t like it, I sold it. I bought a Sub25 some months later and again, for me, it’s day and night difference. Filters sound way different, I would recommend doing a live A/B comparison!
Loved this synth back in the day, this and the Elka gave that massive sound add bass pedals and you have the Genesis wall of sound that blew everyone away in the 70s/80s
Are you sure? Never read Tony used an Elka and I'm not even sure about the solina? For strings he mostly used Mellotrons and... well yes later he had the Quadra which featured a Solina as one part.
@@torbenanschau6641 Sorry I didn’t mean they actually used it ,infact pretty sure the didn’t live ,but you could get their massive sound out these machines that made the hairs on the back of your neck stand up then add the bass pedals and you got butterflies in your stomach.
I just love how the value of Behringer's clones is so much higher than the originals, mostly because of the ability to pass through audio through the new old effects built into their synths. Like the Juno Chorus on the Poly D and the small stone Phaser on the Solina string ensemble. I think i might get this one too :)
Reminds me of those classic synth sounds used in that scifi series 'Blake's Seven'. @4:10 this was too brief but it sounded like it could be the start of something. So unlike the other sounds, and not bad for that.
This sounds great. Time for Behringer to do a full recreation of the Farfisa Combo Compact, Deluxe, And Duo! Come on Behringer! Only you could do it. Make sure to emulate the beautiful color scheme and design of the Combo Compact series!
I own one and I have to say, it’s the only keyboard to make my eyes leak when I play it. It’s limited for sure but what it does do, it does ridiculously well.
I bought an old Eminent 310 organ a couple of years ago, just for the famous and Jarre-sound. It still has to be restored and the damned thing weighs a ton - almost literally. Where was Behringer back then? 😢 Anyone in the market for a partly disassembled Eminent 310 organ?
There's lots of customers for this and many other promised synths from Behringer. It's ok showing this great stuff off. What's the point when you can't buy it.
Yep, sounds like they nailed it. The phaser with external in/out is a great move. Probably a fraction lighter than the original string machines too. Ha.
They still sell the "Vintage Phaser" for around 30 quid. It is clunky like the original, but also sounds like it. (Just in case somebody wants to multiphase the thing, which can be fun with string machines.)
@@KRAFTWERK2K6 That’s funny! A lot of people were complaining that they wanted Behringer’s reissues of the Odyssey, VC 330, MS 1 and Mono Poly without the keyboards!
It works like a vintage combo organ (vox, farfisa...) with sawtooth waves instead of pulsed (square) waves. It has twelve sound generators for upper notes and many octave dividers for lower ones. Each "key" has its own analogue circuit.
What happened to those crazy cheap desktop tone generators based on the SCI-VS and Oberheim that teased us earlier this year? I know there were supply-chain/chip-availability issues, but have they been scrapped entirely, or merely tabled to a later release date (e.g., post-Christmas)
❤..........i been waiting forever... Thanks beringer... And thanks Allen T. Pearlman for giving us this machine originally.... It was a soundtrack of a generation
Although the Solina was actually a cost reduced version of the Eminent Unique organ Jean Michel Jarre used designed by Eminent. I have to say it sounds great though.
I have the ton-heavy original and I´m very proud of it. But: Can´t anyone here appreciate that superlight and supersmall tabletop footprint for getting "that sound" at hand (+ Midi + phaser..) by Behringer having re-engineered the old analog circuit into SMT? We´re too spoiled, these times, I guess... I consider getting external access to modulation and phaser seems already worth the price of that instrument! Btw. That said, being a Kraftwerk fan, I find myself very much liking the unmodulated "static" tones - in conjunction with a slow Maestro Stage Phaser and a delay!
No, it's an analogue string machine. Although it does have a small stone phaser built in you could run external synths through (Behringer also sell that separately as the "vintage phaser" pedal.. or you could get the Electro-Harmonix original)
You are pretty cool n chilled, do you make some music? If so post a link, I'm into eurorack at the moment but being early 50s late teens I'm still a punk I suppose. Anyway keep being you 🙂
I previously owned a Solina. It was a big and heavy thing, but lovely. I used it on just about everything and sampled the crap out of it. As one who would occasionally gig with it, I can tell you that you wouldn't want to. This is perfect! I'm all in.
Please in the future, Bolina testers, turn off that damn phaser!! I want to hear what the chorus modulation sounds like on it's own. I would rarely ever use a phaser on the Solina. I used to have a vintage unit. It sounded so good that you didn't need to cover it up with a phaser. The ensemble was enough!
Sounds perfect. I would like to see them go a step further and make the Arp Solina String Synthesizer that combined the Ensemble with the Arp Explorer mono synth. You could run the string ensemble through the low pass filter and get some really wild phasing sounds. But this is great as it is! Or maybe they could make use of the divide down technology and recreate a combo organ.
