I don't think there are any Solaris owners anywhere, it's not supposed to ship just yet, is it?

Yeah, Jimmy, but "will this dog hunt!?" Welcome!

How many bass players does it take to change a light bulb? -None, the keyboard player does it with his left hand! How many DeadHeads does it take to change a light bulb? -None, they let it burn out and then follow it around for twenty years!

I have really grown to love reading Sound On Sound as an eSub, no need to store any magazines, and I can reference anything at once from my laptop. I still have Keyboard going back about ten years, though....

Someone here mentioned problems with the display- one of the reasons I sold my A-80 after ten years was this high pitched "whine" that was coming from the display that actually began to drive me crazy. That and the aftertouch problem....I have since replaced it with a Yamaha S-90, but I still think the A-80 had one of the best "piano-like" actions of nearly anything I have ever tried.

If you can, try to install a high-quality variable resistor so that you can make adjustable changes to the aftertouch. Roland recemmends a specific change of one resistor, but there were several reports over the years of people trying different values.

LOL! I had been waiting 20 YEARS for this synth! But you have to admit, dB, aren't analog resonant filters wonderful???? -Marshall xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

OK, better later then never-er..... Marshall, 41..... Former life: keyboards in late 70's quasi-prog rock copy band, playing Hammond M3, MiniMoog, and Rhodes 73 stage. My gear took up a whole van, obviously we didn't gig much...... Currently: My day gig pays pretty well, music is now more of a hobby. Stuff: -Roland A-80 controller (poly AT, great piano touch) -Andromeda (this is all Bryce's fault, NAMM 2000, I was all set to buy a Waldorf Q until he made my ears bleed at a demo) -Waldorf Pulse -Roland XV-3080 (with piano and drum expansion boards) -Yamaha FS1R (not your father's FM!) -Klein Guitar ("lima bean on a stick") thru a POD -Mac G3/Logic Audio (running B4 and M-Tron: prog rock heaven without the weight!) one of these days I might even burn a CD......! -Marshall xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx This message has been edited by Marzzz on 05-20-2001 at 12:55 AM
