SOLAR 42 is a unique experimental electro-music instrument, an analogue microtonal ambient drone machine. It will inspire you to find a new and spontaneous approach to composing music.
The instrument is oriented for live performances, creating film soundtracks, theatre soundtracks, atmospheric sounds, microtonal and background music. It is an improved version of the older SOLAR 50 model. The instrument was inspired by early electronic musical instruments of the 1920s and 1950s, notably Leo Theremin's «Harmonium» instrument, as well as science fiction film soundtracks.

This is one of those instruments that you have crazy synth geek dreams about and then wake up thinking: nah, nobody would ever make anything like this.
It’s insane how diverse this synth is. This thing is historic
alas my friends, i know in my heart of hearts, i will do everything in my power to buy this synth. its amazing.
14:54 This thing just made me cry. It's so astounding and you play it wonderfully.
Fantastic capabilities in that machine you cats have made! Extra kudos for the "Stalker" nod. That film transports one to another realm, much like the SOLAR 42. I'm in love!
A true musical instrument - and I would not say this about most analog or digital synths. In the right hands, the 42 will transport its owner into the zone. A place where it's just you and the music. Time stands still, nothing matters except the sensation of creation. The process is fueled by the same stuff that powers the universe. The millions of microscopic nuclear detonations that occur in your cells during the creation process. That is what the zone is and this synth could get you there.
This is coming from a very cynical muso, it's not BS though, I can tell this is a very special instrument
One observation. 'Ambient'. Yes, it's that, but it's also a Techno soundscape machine. There's some really cool techno out there this synth would be ideal for. Deep pounding syncopated drums on top of a layer of improvised Solar 42 - yup that would work.
PS: It's all good, but from 12.04 the tune is excellent and the imagery at the end of the video - most splendid😎
Thanks!!!!
Hi @MOOTANT1
Did you receive yours ?
Cheers
@@enthalpimusic4113 No, I don't have one. My comment is based on what I'm hearing and the aesthetics and design of the synth - and also from personal experience of the Zone.
@@MOOTANT1 To read you, I hoped you had one because I think the same as you and I would have hoped that an owner confirmed my thoughts. Whatever happens, I don’t think we’re wrong about the Solar 42 :) Can't wait for it !
@@enthalpimusic4113
We're not wrong
It's not a synth for every situation, it's a specialist. Ambient, Techno, and could have done the entire score for the movie Arrival. 😉
This thing is it's own universe. Amazing.
Boom, there goes the bank balance. Can't wait to get mine.
Where did you order from, can't find them anywhere online
@@cm7522Their website, but its on backorder atm.
Funny to see some tribute to Stalker with the Solar 42, when I was tellling to everyone how much the Solar 50 reminded me Solaris. ;)
Beautiful improvisation and amazing instrument!
Man it's beautiful.
Absolutely incredible machine.
WOW!!!!! Beautiful and Amazing Machine!!!!
it's fantastic!
mesmerizing!!!
Ahhhhhhh!!!! Yes! Part 2!
I want one, Sounds incredible!!!!!
Superb 👍
Nice!
I commented on the 1st video, and here I am again, because, it deserves even more praise!! I saw and heard the inception of ambient music, even harking back to Floyd, Hawkwind, Tangerine Dream. But into the surge of Ambient/Trance type music, with Optica/Optic Eye, Astralasia, Banco de Gaia, Eat Static, Reload, Higher Intelligence Agency, Biosphere, Etnica, The Orb, Feeler, etc, etc. And THIS is the instrument they all wished they had. Once I get mine, I will NEVER leave my studio, I'll have my Mrs. Bring me meals through a hatch in the door!!! This is not JUST an ambient machine, it's a cosmic SciFi atmosphere generator, a cinematic sound compendium of infinite possibilty!!! I'm suspecting some kind of Extra Terrestrial intervention, this thing is beyond Earthly!!! This WILL be going on my productions!
😆 I'll have my Mrs. Bring me meals through a hatch in the door!!! 😆
I really REALLY need one of these.
please!! very anxious indeed
Tarkovsky would approve
Wow!😱
This thing really excites me more than any other gear has in a while! I've long been searching for the perfect bedtime synth for slowly sculpting a pad while playing myself to sleep, and this just might fit the bill! The only thing stopping me from buying one immediately is the polivoks filter-- I generally like the tone of it, but just want something more lush in this type of an application. But I'm still very intrigued! I'll be interested to see some photos of the other colors once there's more of these in world
Photos of other colors will come soon.
@@arsenytokarev3174 Stellar!! Can't wait💕
Waow...
🔥🔥🔥😎
I bet Quentin Dupieux (mr oizo) would enjoy this!
😇
Take my check write whatever you want but give me that synth🤤

2:00 sold🎉

@@ELTAmusic ordered from Juno Uk. Hurry up with those Maize Yellow ones🤣. Seriously, it’s a fantastic, inspiring product.
@@LesterH25 🚴🚴🚴
@@ELTAmusic 👌
I don't think I can wait until August. If I ask really really nicely can I get mine sooner?
Jokes aside: I think that contact mic has some very very interesting possibilities. I'll definitely be playing with that.
Does ELTA have any plans to make more effects chips? My 42 came with Cathedral but I like the
Shimmer.
In the Cathedral cartridge, the very first effect is Shimmer.
Cathedral's first effect is Shimmer.
how could i sample this machine with just hardware (ie digitakt) any ideas in comments..
So about one Euro for every knob and switch then? Sounds great-thanks!
Yes 😉
2 Questions. Where is the contact mic located? and does that mean we could speak/yell into the solar 42 and hear ourselves?
1- that little sun corona looking circle at the very bottom center of the touchplates under the display; 2- yes! and so much more: banging on the case, playing with the feedback, all sorts of fun mayhem!
You can route the piezo with everything : any effect, filter and resonance (for huge dripping noise or prehistorical birds), even enveloppe follower.
It's in the keyboard under the sun
Need a part 3 fix stat, going into withdrawal. 😵💫
soon.
Great ! @@ELTAmusic
What’s up with the symbol that looks like a Elhaz rune?

I would probably be inspired enough by this, to make a hundred videos for CZcams, playing it along side my LXR-02, which is also from Latvia! I just finally began putting together a studio, in my extra front bedroom, that will have proper audio/video for CZcams. Wish I could afford to order one of these, so bad. I would do it right now! can I make it sync with my LXR-02's MIDI clock? [Edit: Looks like no MIDI?]
That sounds amazing!
Of course you can, there's a Clock input on the keyboard.
Excellent! I have several devices with clock outputs, as well!@@ELTAmusicthis is a fantastic instrument! Just have to save up my pennies. Also: Really love that a scale can be assigned to the "keyboard" That's one of the great things about many phone and tablet apps, that only the relevant notes are shown in the interface, removing all the un-used keys/buttons, and eliminating the possibility of hitting an incorrect note, not belonging to the current scale in use. (DRC on Android, for example, which I love jamming on, away from the studio!)
Is this better for $2000 than getting a Moog Voyager?
Customers will need pegs for the rubber bands, for the contact mic, if they don't want to stress the potentiometer shafts. I think customers could replace some screws with same-threaded pegs (screws with longer tops... whatever can be sourced). As long as they replace only one at a time, one out, one in, instead of removing a whole bunch before putting any new ones in. I know that's common sense, but hey.
So, yeah... rubber bands mounted to a resonant metal surface with a contact mic = a fun combo.
All potentiometer shafts are metal. All very reliable. You can also connect external devices with contact microphone to the input of the preamp.
👍i LoVe !

I see you are a fan of golf!
Why?)
does it have auto tune
There is a keyboard calibration
what is the price?
1600 EUR
@@ELTAmusic inclusiev tax or ex?
The imagery at the end was rather bleak.
"Stalker" by Andrei Tarkovsky (1979)
Oh that explains the comments. I haven't got that far in the video, and those comments had me flummoxed.
@@GizzyDillespee Ha ha! I found them rather surprising. Regardless, I have preordered one of these and think it is one of the coolest synths to come along in a while! Plus... it is the second version, so they've been working on it. Though, to be sure, I'm no professional, just a home hobbyist dilettante who loves synths.
I think you're done singing after a while.
Beautiful indeed but the price will make it not be a popular item perhaps.
This tool is for the "chosen ones" ))
