  • Page 7 CONTACT MIC/ENVELOPE FOLLOWER Built-in (internal) contact microphone (PIEZZO) soldered right under the sensor keyboard, turning the case of SOLAR 50 into a microphone. A large palette of organic, physical sounds can be produced by scratching, tapping, and more generally by collecting any acoustic waves using the built-in effector with the cartridges.
