I got mine played it a few times. I actually prefer no modulation and if I use the effect I slow it down very slow. I usually prefer the violin and horn both off. I mix it with the Yamaha YC73 and with modulation off it cuts through nicely seems to get brighter. The Solina low end is probably the biggest highlight of the unit. This demo seems to perhaps sound better with effects and modulation with less voices active. Less is more perhaps. It sounds better in videos with effects of mod active but in the studio I sometimes prefer none only the raw voice.
I have Strymon Mobius pedal. In the Chorus effect section there's different modes. The mode "multi" is completely imitates solina ensemble chorus!!! (With few other adjustments of level, depth, rate, and tone. Tweak it and you'll be impressed!!!
This was the only hardware synth I was tempted by but then it only took me about 5mins to create a nice warm string sound in Vital with a bit of tremolo and now there's no need to spend the money. Just about any synth can pump out a string sound especially like this one which sounds more synth than strings.
Yes, well i had an original Solina back in the 70s, this is close to tempting, almost, practically, nearly.....you know how it is. I will probably get one of these (and a keyboard to drive it), but not just yet.....soon, oh soon....
My Behringer Solina distorts when I use the Phaser even at low volume. I even switched to a different PA but it still does it. But I have heard that some phasers do that.
yeah with the modulation off, it's nothing special - something the people at Solina were certainly well aware of. As for the phaser: I think I know what you mean. I'd prefer a wet/dry control for the phaser.
I know they kept it as close to the original as possible but since they added a phaser they might as well have given it a stereo output. By the way, at 4:18 it sounds completely out of tune. What's going on there?
The Small Stone phaser is (and always has been) a mono effect. You can't click your fingers and magically make it stereo - the left and right channels would need to be processed differently, and that would mean redesigning the circuit!
@@simonbeck7446 Yes, I know the Small Stone is also supposed to be mono but I mean, they already added that to the Solina so they might as well have added a stereo effect.
actually in the video (particularly the first minute) you can hear quite well how the crescendo works, but only on the first notes (not on second notes while holding the first) and only on string sounds but not brass sounds. But it's subtle so you have to push the slider to the right for a bit stronger effect
Thanks for the demo but that is the cheapest sounding thing I have ever heard. In what universe this sounds like "strings" I have no idea. Really glad I watched this before ordering one.
Best demo ever with no talking and no shity noises, you just sold me this incredible instrument with those stunning Jarre sounds
thanks for watching!
He's BACK, baby! :-)
Sounds awesome
Fantastic! Getting one.
The built in chorus effect is really amazing. Takes the sound to a whole Nother level :-)

Sounds nice!
Great 🎶
2:47 random dandelion seed floats in like it's checking out the sounds
Well spotted!
Excellent
thanks

I've been toying with the idea of getting a Solina...but I can get pretty close with my DM12 and even my DX7 can do some similar stuff.

Waiting for new industrial and new beats jams!
it's about time, isn't it :) thanks for your interest mate
nice!

You need to stand up and rock that keytar the proper way 😎
@@aint_perfect you’re right! I did that here: ruclips.net/video/b103PhyZB0Y/видео.htmlsi=1HVazUXJNo_84Lpu
I know there's a rate knob on the phaser. Is there an amount?
Nevermind, got to the amount switch in the vid. Wish it was a knob ot slider.
yeah a slider or knob would be nice, but it's only the switch between two modes of intensity, and the rate knob
Give me that KEYTAR and nobody gets hurt!!👊🤕👊
with the keytar on the table (instead of default keytar posture) nobody got hurt
Shit gets real when you hit the 'modulation' button, which is this thing's magical power. The phaser is cool but just makes it sound too busy.

Thought my Crescendo control wasn’t working, doesn’t seem to work on your either,what the point of it

someone get that midi cable some water! it's fighting for its life out there!
So, you've been quiet. 👻
i still am...
Streichfett is much better, BUT: for Oxygene-Covers this one really rocks.
Of course does the horn play alone. Trumpet and Horn are mutually exlusive. Don't be fooled by the lights.

You're thinking orchestral strings and not string machines from the 70's. This sounds like that not an actual string section.👍
😂😂😂 not that rompler strings
It's 'strings' from before they had decent emulation.
