    Hi again! I have just watched and listened with great pleasure to your presentation of the Solar 42F. What a wonderful instrument! I remember that as a young man in the 1980s I went to concerts of so-called contemporary classical music, composed at that time in a modern studio in Paris, where outstanding composition graduates from Poland could, if they were lucky and got permission to leave our then deeply communist country, to do postgraduate doctoral studies on a scholarship. At that time I was often one of the last to leave the concert hall, it fascinated me endlessly, others rarely lasted until halfway through the concert. These were things that were not easy to listen to, but fascinating, developing the imagination. And since my youth I listened to the music of JM Jarre, Vangelis and Kitaro, I loved Rick Wakeman. Their recordings were available here. And here, in one small device today there are possibilities to create a whole universe of such sounds, and also to create them live. I am very impressed. And I see that the company comes from our region, from Latvia, but it is Ukrainian-Russian in its roots. This has cultural significance, and also when it comes to Slavic sensitivity to sound. You have made me want this little gem, really! Warmest regards! TT

    It's fascinating that (in the Intro), your cat starts looking up in the sky when you play that higher note and looks down, when the low bass sound appears. I don't know if that's a happy accident, pure coincidence, genius editing work or just an audio-connoisseur cat... but it's cool!

    About the layout, I think I would prefer to have the black buttons down to the right on the left side instead. When using them for activating chords, I would rather use my left hand for those and the right hand to play melody on the keyboard 🎹 But that is just a small thing.

    New to your channel. Pretty cool machine...Where did you purchase that Tube LED on the left side of your Solar 42F near the beginning of your video around 4 min mark also at 45:50 too?

    Can you assign ext fx to select oscillators or is it just everything being produced on the solar has to all go through same time.
    Regardless I’m getting one. Thanks for a great demo 🙏

    can you comment on the filters, I tried to modulate using the LFO but a clicky noise gets through...is that an issue with this type of filter cause I don't have this with my other gear. Great Video!

      there's definitely some clicking here and there depending what mod you route. manual states that noise and clicks are "part of the charm" :D

    If you like that sound it is, but I don't see the hype about this synth to be honest and much prefer the Waldorf M as an ambient synth, which is also great for real time sound design. The Solar 42 has a beautiful interface that looks fun to play, but it doesn't have a sound that I find particularly beautiful or couldn't make with other synths. Nice video though.

    • @MilesAwayOfficial
      @MilesAwayOfficial  2 місяці тому

      Fair enough! I too really love PPG style synths for ambient. The M looks sweet, would love to review one. Do you own an M?

    • @TomZentra
      @TomZentra 18 днів тому

      Solar 42 is nice, but I would not buy it. I feel the same way about its sound. Not only can other synths create these sounds, but they can also do it more easily without plug-in cards, patch cables, and external hardware.

    • @Pharmacymusic1
      @Pharmacymusic1 15 днів тому

      @@MilesAwayOfficial Sorry I just saw this message and thanks for replying. Yes, I have the M and love it. It would be my first goto for ambient sounds, but I wouldn't want to use it as my only ambient synth and think it's nice to combine the M sounds with sounds from a subtractive analog synth such as those by the likes of Moog and Sequential, for variety of timbres. The only synth I can think of that would cover everything I'd need for ambient would be the Prophet X, because there is even a PPG wave sound pack for that and there are so many others, some only released recently. I think if Sequential had made a desktop version of that it could have been a dream synth to suit almost everyone in terms of the sonic ground it can cover and it can also go quite deep with sound design in its own way.

    FYI… you don’t have to press the “computer key” synth button prior to pressing Hold. This is the only synth I know of where note A is followed by note H. The scales on mine seem to be a bit wonky, too.

    • @MilesAwayOfficial

      You are totally right, I think its just habit from years of other synths. What do you mean the scales are wonky?

      It's really great, but kinda expensive! You could buy 2 lyra-8s and a hologram microcosm for the price. Or one Lyra-8 and a microcosm still have 700$ left for strippers and cocaine. Otherwise it's a gorgeous synth.
