{"product_id":"elta-music-solar-42n","title":"Elta Music SOLAR 42N MK3 - Analogue Microtonal Ambient Drone Machine","description":"\u003cp\u003eSOLAR 42N 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. It gives you the ability to create a multi-layered, massive sound. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,0\"\u003eBreak free from rigid chromatic scales and step into a monumentally layered, cinematic universe. The \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,0\" data-index-in-node=\"101\"\u003eELTA Music Solar 42N\u003c\/b\u003e is a deeply immersive, 8-voice analogue microtonal ambient drone machine designed explicitly for live electronic performers, film soundtrack composers, and experimental sound designers seeking a highly tactile, screen-free approach to synthesis. Serving as the current pinnacle of ELTA’s multi-voice development, the 42N fuses classical synthesis flexibility with unpredictable, organic acoustic charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,1\"\u003eThe architecture of the Solar 42N splits its eight voices into two distinct performance zones: \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,1\" data-index-in-node=\"95\"\u003eTwo V\/Octave triangle-core VCO voices\u003c\/b\u003e equipped with waveform morphing, sub-oscillators, and an opulent 12-stripe touch-sensitive keypad, paired alongside \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,1\" data-index-in-node=\"249\"\u003esix independent drone voices\u003c\/b\u003e triggered via a separate push-button interface. Rather than relying on traditional western equal temperament, this configuration invites microtonal intervals and dense, pulsating note clusters that give your soundscapes an immense, choral weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,2\"\u003eIn this refined \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,2\" data-index-in-node=\"16\"\u003e\"N\" iteration\u003c\/b\u003e, the instrument gains expanded low-frequency oscillation tools via new LFO speed range switches, alongside a simplified, return-to-original cartridge loading mechanism for its massive digital effector block. Sculpting your audio is controlled via a stereo path containing a charismatic \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,2\" data-index-in-node=\"316\"\u003edual analogue Polivoks filter system\u003c\/b\u003e with built-in adjustable overdrive, an assignable XY modulation joystick, a 5-step loop sequencer, a light-sensitive photosensor dome, and an integrated contact microphone preamp with an envelope follower—making the Solar 42N feel less like a machine and more like an evolving sonic organism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elta Music","offers":[{"title":"White Cream","offer_id":57125119164791,"sku":null,"price":1989.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":57125119197559,"sku":null,"price":1989.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Maize Yellow","offer_id":57125119230327,"sku":null,"price":1989.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pink","offer_id":57125119263095,"sku":null,"price":1989.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue + Red Sensor","offer_id":57125119295863,"sku":null,"price":1989.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/6609\/3943\/files\/elta-music-solar42n-black.webp?v=1779823500","url":"https:\/\/weareblip.com\/products\/elta-music-solar-42n","provider":"Blip","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
