This is worth a watch. Girts from Erica Synths interviews Tokarev. Goes into the company history, relocations, the scene in Latvia etc.
As for the Solar, it sounds and looks beautiful. I love that something like this exists, even if I’m not in the target demographic.
I see there are 4 color choices
Wait, I thought Benn Jordan wasn’t doing gear demos any more?..
Never mind.
Five 
I thought so too. Anyway back to topic… However people may feel about this guy, I thought his demos suited my musical tastes and I thought it was cool he brought attention to the Elta Music backstory.
If they really offered pink I’d consider it

Well, i think he (Ben Jordan) brought up the exploitation these companies do, using youtube free sales men, allthough i didnt like how he put it, it was probably honest on his end, and he was fed up.
The demo shows, that he is a very capable musician too, so for that he earns some respect back.
The synth sounds really fantastic.
Very cool of Benn Jordan to have recalled what Arseniy went through and how much he can be praised for his courage 
The problem I’m having with the color choices is I really like them all 
If you don’t mind me asking, how long ago did you order and which color did you choose? I’m considering pink, but would also be cool with black if that meant I could have it in my hands faster.
I don’t mind at all 
! I preordered in early october to be delivered at the end of November. But it was without counting on the facetiousness of the assembly factory that has constantly pushed back the schedule established with Arseniy …
Mine will be white as a classic SF spaceship command panel
If you order now, you can be pretty sure to be delivered in february. Don’t matter about the color you choose.
Lucky I don’t get GAS anymore, Looks like fun… Can’t wait for all the reverb drenched music! 
Laughed when he asks because he’s a chemist… if he can Synthesize LSD! 
Seems Erica Synths may want to give a little extra piece of paper with there manuals! I´m down…
Well shit. Just ordered in white. Need to sell some eurorack to justify cost and space, but I’m excited!
Can someone buy this for me please? Ambient is my main love. My wife has been out of work for 5 months and I cannot afford it…pretty please!
All the demos i heard sound quite shrill and harsh to me. I wonder if that’s just the taste of these artists recording the demos or if it’s the character of the synth.
Benn Jordan’s demo sounds harsh to you ?
I agree with you for the others (but I like it too 
) and I think that the Polivoks filter is guilty for this.
Good review and definately a cool machine.
Shrill Oscillator drenched in reverb… need some resistance. Well actually i think it sounds pristine in higher registers, not so many analog synth can pull this clarity off. Prophet 12 could, but it has digital oscillators.
