The Elta Music Solar 50 is a 'Big Ambient Machine' - A drone/ambient synthesiser designed for long-form sonic exploration.
It features 50 sawtooth oscillators organised into 10 banks of 5. Each of the 10 banks has its own volume, attack/release envelope, photosensitive orb that modulates the pitch CV, and a touch plate that triggers the voice.
In between the touch plates is a circular contact mic that picks up the sound of the metal body, additionally producing a gate and envelope for patching to any of the patch points on the instrument.
All audio goes through a 12dB Polivoks low pass filter (complete with self-oscillation, if desired), before ultimately going through the cartridge-based effects section, which allows you to switch effect algorithms simply by swapping the inserted cartridge. Two LFOs, two audio inputs, separate left and right outputs, as well as a dedicated effects out makes integrating it into a larger studio for processing quite easy.
Includes soft bag & cartridge pack.
