SUPERBOOTH 2024: Elta Music - Solar 42 F Synthesizer

At Superbooth 2024, Serge from Elta Music showcased the updated version of their popular Solar 42 synth, now dubbed Solar 42F. The main addition to this version is stereo distortion on the output, along with cosmetic updates like color-coded ports and firmware tweaks. According to Serge, these updates were made based on continuous refinement of the machine, with a focus on enhancing user experience. Despite not being a major overhaul, the changes are deemed very useful for users. All new Solars will be shipped in this updated version, including those with previously placed orders.

The Solar 42F features a streamlined mixer layout for easier navigation of voice volumes, along with the stereo distortion feature on the main output. The updated version will be the standard for all future shipments of the Solar 42, and with production underway, the new iteration promises to deliver an improved user experience without a price increase. 

Solar 42 F Price: 1,800 plus VAT
