This morning, i read in the June issue of Sound On Sound that the Solaris Synth is finally being released. I first saw the Solaris prototype back at the 2009 NAMM show, and at the time it seemed really interesting. Its a new hardware synth that provides the user with Minimoog, Oberheim/Sequential, PPG Wave style oscillator and filter emulations. The Solaris also has an extensive modulation matrix.

The creator of the Solaris used to work for the now defunct Creamware, makers of the Hardware/DSP/Virtual Analog ASB modules, such as the 'Prodyssey':
Reading about the Solaris led me to wonder about the old Creamware company, and where they were now, apparently Creamware is now a new company called Sonic Core. Sonic Core now makes an external Plug-In DSP hardware unit called the 'Scope'. Scope allows users to host Creamware/Sonic Core plug-ins within the Scope hardware unit itself, which frees up your main computers processor/memory, in order to allow your host to run more efficiently.
Sonic Core also have software/plug-in versions of the original 'ASB' synths, such as the Prodyssey, Pro-12, and others.
