Elta Solar 42f Electro-Music Instrument White Limited Bundle.
A refined evolution of Elta Music’s ambient drone concept, the Solar 42f builds upon the foundation laid by the iconic Solar 50—offering greater melodic playability, deeper modulation options, and an enhanced user experience in a limited white-edition bundle. With eight unique voices, onboard CV utilities, stereo processing, and hands-on control, Solar 42f is a highly creative electro-acoustic laboratory for exploratory sound artists.
