[NOTICE]
Beginning on March 12th, sales have been temporarily paused as we move our site to a new platform. We apologize for any inconvenience. SOLARIA and ASTERIAN can be purchased directly from Dreamtonics during this time. SAROS will be temporarily unavailable during the migration. We expect our site migration to conclude on March 18th. Thank you.
SOLARIA's project began in fall of 2019, after our founder Elijah Damon met singer Emma Rowley while working with a local recording studio. In May of 2021, this project was revealed for the first time in the form of a crowdfunding project for SOLARIA as an English AI vocalist for Synthesizer V Studio, in partnership with Dreamtonics.
SOLARIA's Test Voice & "SOLARIS"
SOLARIA's original project name was "SOLARIS" - seen in the first demonstration videos, where her test voice library sings the first few lines of her voice source Emma Rowley's song "Miles." This test voice uses a completely different recording method than the final AI version, and is primarily a test of how Emma Rowley's voice would be handled by the Synthesizer V software.
Crowdfund Merchandise
The primary target demographic for SOLARIA's crowdfund was the community of vocal synthesis hobbyists. In the vocal synth sphere, it is seen as somewhat of a tradition that a character is included as part of the marketing for a vocal to represent the sound of the voice. As a result, we chose to include character-focused merchandise to provide rewards for lower contribution tiers.
