Overview
A body built for just one thing. Everything about Solstice is dedicated to digital audio starting
with an all-aluminum chassis designed to let air flow freely around the internal components and then dissipate naturally
through the body.
Perfectly balanced. A carefully balanced component architecture ensures the smooth flow of data through the complete
system. The power to record, mix and edit without bottlenecks, drop-outs or distortion.
Plug it all in. Solstice is configured for digital audio with two separate FireWire chipsets for maximum compatibility
with your audio hardware. Also included, 7 USB 2.0 ports, PCI and PCIe connections and a Dual Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW optical drive.

Customer Testimonials & Reviews
Read what Rain Customers think about their Solstice workstation:
"Dear Rain, Just sending you this message to give you a giant thumbs up in regards to my Solstice machine. Finally I have a system that provides zero restrictions for creative music composition. Multiple tracks of VST instruments, assorted effects, running glitch free with multiple tracks of audio.
With my previous system I could not even run 2 instances of Moog Modular with out an issue. Now with the Solstice machine the ability to freely asign any combination of vsti with effects & audio arrangements, has freed up my compositions and brought back the means to go crazy with ideas, with no fear of running out of grunt in the processor/reliabilty department!
I use the following software/hardware with the Solstice:
Cubase 4, Arturia Moog Modular, Arturia CS-80,
Waldorf Attack Percussion, Stienberg Halion sampler, and assorted 3rd party VST instruments, outboard synths include, Fairlight MFX series 3, Waldorf XTK Wavetable synth, Korg micro, Emu Mo Phat. Alesis io2 usb audio interface, M-audio 88 usb controller keyboard.
So, Thank you for your powerful & dedicated music/audio computer. It truly comes to the party regarding power and performance!"
–Andy Frampton
"I have to say I've had no problems at all with it, despite hitting it with some of the biggest mix projects I've ever had to deal with. It's great to have a machine with this kind of horsepower, because it allows me to choose the most appropriate plug-ins for the mix job at hand, without having to make quality compromises to conserve CPU horsepower, and there are Mix Rescue challenges I can now take on that would have been unthinkable on my previous setup."
