Don Solaris

With nearly two decades of hands-on experience and a passion rooted in analog circuitry and modern synthesis, I am a professional sound designer specializing in synthesizer programming, patch design, and sonic branding. Since beginning my journey in 2006—and transitioning to a full-time professional in 2014—I have crafted sounds that resonate across genres, continents, and platforms.

My career launched into prominence with the release of Analog Voltage for Waldorf Music, a soundset that became (and remains) their best-selling collection to date. This milestone solidified my reputation for designing evocative, musically useful, and technically precise presets that speak to both artists and engineers.

Today, I am proud to work with Roland Corporation Japan, continuing to shape the sound of modern music through one of the most iconic synthesizer brands in history. My personal collection includes over 70 vintage synthesizers, offering me an unparalleled resource for analog textures and hybrid experimentation.
