But I don’t understand. I saw a batch on a palette with boxes on eltas instagram. So they were just empty boxes or what 
No, maybe some were assembled and shipped but the production is now a bit delayed. Arseniy is just very sorry about it. He has been through a lot since the past two years and things still not simple in Riga…
We must be patient and think that we are not the most to complain about.

Great !
I don’t know if invoice number is related to Solar serial number as Elta Music sells other gear. If a serial number is on the Solar, it will be easy to figure it out thought.
I don’t have an invoice yet (I preordered the october 5th)…
Thanks for your kind words and hope to hear your Solar here ASAP 
Hi again. I just now got the time to open the package. And it turns out my unit is 007 
I guess I was jumpy to make this purchase haha. Maybe soon I post a demo

Well, I like the build quality overall. I hope the joystick can last me tho. What I particularly want to point out is that the keyboard is pressure sensitive and that is insane!. It feels like aftertouch that can be set for vibrato (and filter but not sure).
BUT. Mine came with a defect which is numpad 1 is not triggering drone 1. Drone 1 is working only If ı press to ‘‘hold’’ button above the gate input.
The red led on the numpad 1 is lits when I press but as I said not triggers Drone 1 (other 5 are good tho). I talked to Arseny and I’m waiting for a solution. Someting tells me that it has something very simple fix, maybe internal wiring has not been done from the inside. It’s analog after all. I will do the demo when the device is fully operational.
S…t 
!
I hope it will be easy to fix and that you will be fully licensed to drone soon
Thanks for your feedback.
Update, issue was the connector cable between numpad board and main, which it was simply a bit loose. Now all is fine. Its really fun machine. I found myself doing other thins instead of drones. Like patching piezzo envelope follower to filter, which is very cool lets me to do 303 stuff but envelope can be controlled with how hard I’m playing or playing while hitting to metal chassis

Not yet, but really looking forward to it! I ordered in mid Nov and reached out to Arseniy in early Dec. for an update. There were factory delays, and it was expected to ship around mid Jan, so hopefully soon 
. I’m sure it will be worth the wait!

I’m not worried about it 
I know about problems with the factory. They don’t respect the schedule established with Arseniy.
This coming week should be the one !

Cool! Glad to hear your Solar is on the way.
Thanks! I just got the message from Arseniy that mine has shipped as well. Can’t wait to dive in.

I like Benn Jordan’s demos of this thing. I dig the flute-like lead tone - other sounds are great too.
He also tells the story of Elta Music. I honestly had no idea about the struggles Arseniy went through.
