Instant Vangelis vibes from the Blade Runner soundtrack. Very cool.
Exactly.
First thing I thought too. Went straight to the comments to see who else thought the same.
I thought the same thing.
Itd be even closer if he used a highpass filter instead of a cutoff, very cool piece of hardware💜
I was thinking like.. The lead he designed would fit well in Mass Effect
The inventor of this machine deserve a huge amount of respect. This is stunning and so your video. Thanks
Ah, right - doing his thing for the liberation of his country - that would get my respect. But making a synthesiser is probably more important. Maybe he's sickly or something, unable.
@@JamesHartnell his country is guided by a puppet put there by the US (as usual) that started the war.
OK. I'm skipping lunch and putting the money in a jar. Starting to save my pennies for this box! Love it.
Selling kidney brb guys🤣
Good luck saving 1800 Euro in a jar.
Unfortunately it's already sold out

Ooo! Kidney! Good idea!

You’ve made this visually complex instrument at first look be totally logical and usable. This is now on my list for synth purchases. It’s an ambient sound color palette.
Must be, says ambient right on the tin, paid promotioner told me 😉
@@Bear2U it was cool to hearing it used outside of an ambient construct too.
A synth with zero sliders and only knobs is such a vibe. Vintage reissues could probably save a lot of space and cost by going with that approach, it has such a fun look to it.
You’re right about the cost thing, but I’ve found sliders at or under 40mm to use the same amount of panel space as pots! Sure, one might want bigger sliders, but imo 35-40mm is plenty of travel for parameter adjustment. typically the combination of pots and sliders is the best way to make space efficient panels.
Sliders also have other benefits like only needing a single finger to operate, meaning they can be bunched closer together, unlike pots.
I totally agree that the all pot design on this is great though!
Hey David, love the video. This is on my wish list. You mentioned that you wouldn’t recommend his synth for a beginner to do this sort of thing. What would you recommend?
You could score an entire movie with this thing. So cool

I really appreciate the fact you checked paid promotion. I hate it when creators dont because "insert justification". You have integrity.
Where does it say that?

Why do people care anyway? It's his business.
@@crtgamer2355 yeah but it's always good to know if the opinions of someone may or may not have been influenced by a brand sponsoring
The absolute hero that designs and builds these deserves a Nobel Prize and his own planet to rule over.
I'm saving up for one.
I mean for a Solar 42.
Not a planet.

Wow! Headphones a must, talk about instant transportation to another world.
gotta be one the coolest and most unique synths I've ever seen
Just recently started following, and this video does not disappoint! I've been an audio and music tech since the days of vinyl and 4-track studios, and yet I still geek out over equipment like this. Thanks for giving exposure to something I would have completely missed otherwise.
This looks like a really fascinating piece of gear, thank you for introducing us to it.
It is so incredibly beautiful and the amount of controls packed into it is madness!!! What an appealing design too
Its like a giant piece of Art
Holy shit it’s a Vangelis machine.
This is the best walk-through on this synth on youtube. Thank you for clearing my confusion.
This was a really great rundown of a fantastic instrument. Thank you for taking the time to put this video together.
i always get so excited whenever you upload, love your content man
I just got one, and I'm very new to synths, so this is wonderful to see such a basic, straightforward video. Looking forward to hopefully more!
Is this good for beginners? It seems like more of its output is pleasing than other synths I've tried (also a beginner). That seems like it would keep me engaged longer.
I've loved this synth since I first saw it, but you've really made some music with it that I feel in my heart.
Part synth, part Spaceship control board. Love it ❤
Freaking amazing! It's everything I love about the old analog synths that I grew up on.
I can't get enough of your demonstration of this magnificent machine.
A big crush for the sound universe that starts at the beginning of your video. Totally mesmerizing!
The visuals and editting get better and better with each video!! Its so cool to see your content evolve!!
sooooo inspiring, this is wonderful. Thanks very much for all your cool videos David!
Sounds beautiful, and played beautifully too
I'm not a musician I fell here because of the youtube algo and fell in love with this sound, amazing.
What an amazing instrument.
The light feature could be cool for a live show with lots of lights systems
Great to see this drone synth being used in a different context, thanks for the video!
Thank you so much for this remarkable demonstration of this beauty
I have spent a day just watching your ability to create music in so many ways. So inspiring! Thank you.
This is such a great video on such an incredible synth!
wow, dreamy sound indeed.
Amazing.
gorgeous synth
Beautiful gear ... Love the look. and the sound..
Sounds amazing
Holy Moly that things looks sick af.
This is the coolest channel I didn’t even know I needed.
Wow, this popped up in my feed and now I'm into ambient music.
This is incredible... the BGM was great and the machine is a real work of art. I would definitely buy this
i love these sounds
Beautiful instrument, overview, and demo! Love it ❤
Found that guy on Facebook years back, and he makes such awesome stuff. Loved watching his vids where he’s actually making them and troubleshooting tweaking, etc.
I LOVE IT! Thank you for sharing!
That's lovely.
Thank you for the review. Quality work!
Thank you so much for introducing this incredible synth to me with a wonderful video. I don’t know how I will resist getting one. If I don’t find a live use for it, it will definitely still be my personal therapy machine.❤
A beautiful machine.
Thank you for sharing. This is such an amazing build. I really hope someday that I get to experience it.
That sounds amazing, great work!
Excellent video thank you for this beautiful display of this instrument’s capabilities. Nice commentary.
This is mind blowing.. so freaking cool
It's freaking awesome 😎 hat's off to the maker
so this is what i hear playing in my deepest dreams...
Watching this video and listening to your narration was a lot of fun. Very exciting synth, thank you for sharing!
This is the raddest gizmo I've seen in a minute. ❤
Man that thing sounds amazing
Your videos stir such nostalgic wonder…like xmas morning as a little sister seeing your brother get a gadget and giddily knowing that you’re gonna spend the entire day fascinated alongside him learning the gadget instead of on the things you got.
Spot on…couldn’t have said it any better
I fell in love on the first look!
What an incredible machine ❤
That's really amazing! Beautiful sounds came out of this instrument-machine
Thanks for posting! Great brief walk-through...
Looks like an awesome instrument.
Wow, this is actually amazing.
This video is very well done. Thank-you.
I really enjoyed this video. Such a unique synth.
Beautiful
This is incredible!
Brilliant
Holy crap this is amazing. Fantastic video!
This is totally amazing!
It sounds so GOOD!
The sounds that it puts out are warm, rich, luxuriant...like bathing in white hot fire but with copper green glints throughout. I feel elevated and enervated. I feel worn, both lovingly and through. This machine fills me with ennui for an existence I'll never know and a nostalgia for a place I've never been. And so, saudade, and so it goes. Once again, another fantastic video.
This looks amazing what
The huge number of knobs is VERY arousing 😲
And those 4 LDR sensors and cartridges, GENIUS 👍
It's like a complete film soundtrack in a single machine......MAGNIFICENT !!!
😏 arousing indeed 😉 my wife loves my reaction already and I haven't even purchased yet
The optical sensors give a Theremin kind of usability to it 🤔😏
😎🇬🇧
I had to take a cold shower
Mine's not coming til at least May, but it's the most excited I've been for any gear in years😁 Thankful for videos like this in the meantime❤
Looks and sounds like an absolute beauty! I love how you say you can plug in a guitar and use it as a big effect. I’m more a guitar guy than synth, but this looks like pure ear- and eyecandy!
Solar 42, What a wonderful instrument, great video.
Six odd minutes in says introduction of white noise makes a more oceany sound and immediately makes the sound of the old Arena - BBC telly arts programme - intro, which featured a neon Arena sign, in a bottle, floating on moving water. Made me very happy 😀 Amazing synth. And, as ever, beautiful video, matey 👍
I remember that intro too!
The Arena music was Another Green World by Ambient pioneer Brian Eno. 😊 ruclips.net/video/36B225lLvY4/видео.htmlsi=wDkEHiOOjTZqZFmk
@@punzai72 Oh, that's fantastic, thank you. Always thought it was Eno-ey. Shall be listening to that album, today 👍
❤❤❤ absolutely beautiful piece of hardware 😮
This is an ultra cool synth! Thanks for sharing this video! : )
You're both geniuses and legends. Omg.
Incredible
...fantastic
Perfect for someone wanting to experiment with magical vibes! So cool! Me want!
This synth is pretty neat, I love the design how looks and seems useful for actual electronic music productions. 🎧🎶💯👍
Truly amazing synth! I don't do ambient (at the moment), but this review made me to want to do it again! Thanks!
That's awesome.
Excellent video. Really pleasant to watch, clear, well paced. Easy to listen to. Super professional, loved it.
yes
i am going to buy it
always a great video
Thanks for talking through the various settings you were doing. There are so many synth / controller videos where you're not quite sure what's going on.
I love your video and the SOLAR 42! ❤
Rad as radical it can be! COOL!!
Love this.
Awesome instrument!
Damn i need that synthesizer so much
