Hey Fusionists,
finally I made it: The new book "My Fusion Secrets" is completed!
What exactly is it?
Well, as you know everything started with my contribution of sounds for the factory ROM Program presets back in 2005. It was a challenge for me although I am doing sounddesign since many years. You will find all details about my personal Fusion story in the book editorial. Then I did my own Fusion presets and used them for the CD album "The more you know" (Milo's Craving), where I worked as executive producer and keyboard player. I liked the Fusion sound, actually I do still today, and I thought that there were so many new Presets in my personal soundbank that I could market them. This bank is the "Fusion Presets by kpr" a 3 bank set with 384 sounds and it was the beginning of a longer list of soundbanks and sample libraries I released since then. I never had such a plan in the first place, it simply happened step by step and besides my own fun creating them it is you who appreciated and bought them.
I also got a lot of emails where Fusionists asked a lot of questions. Someday I thought that it would be great to unveil some of my secrets how I am doing Fusion sounds and sample libraries. Consider that I did over 3.000 Presets for the Fusion and of course there are a couple of special tricks to make them sound so, well, cool. So I decided to write down many of my ideas, tricks, concepts, organization details, etc. etc. and make this available for all Fusion owners to get you the chance to make the most out of your Fusion. To get more out of it for your music.
I needed a couple of months to write the book, actually a bit longer than expected, but now it is done and available during this week. Julia cares for the print process, did already the upload of the included sample library and will send the usual newsletter tomorrow or so, make the website product page update and include it in the online-store.
And here are the book details:
- It is a spiral-binding printed book, this is perfect to put it on the Fusion and read and try the things described in the chapters.
- English language. I am german, but did it in my own write in english. Of course I though about to write it in german and hire an author like Simon Cann to translate it to english language. But this would not be my own words and because I decided to share my secrets I wrote it in english.
- The book content is 120 pages, comes with a 150 MB sample library with multisamples, some of them are especially designed and produced for the Fusion and never before released in an other data format and includes a 30 Program presets soundbank. Additionally there is a 50 Program presets soundbank and here you find sounds every songwriter would like to have. If I need THE pad, then it is there, if I need THE bass, then it is there, etc.
- The price for all this is Euro 39.00, plus shipping (overseas Euro 12.00, Euroland Euro 8.00).
- The first 100 copies is a limited edition with my signature on it and your name is on the title too. It is a kind of serial number like this: 009/100.
- The book is not another owner's manual and before you read "My Fusion Secrets" you should have read the Fusion manual once at least. In general the focus is totally sound-related and considers data handling, do not expect any step-by-step guide for the sequencer or anything like that. You can read the book again and again and you don't need to start on page one and read it until the end. You can open it at any page and get inspired and try out the described things with your Fusion, think about it and read the same text passage again a couple of weeks later and suddenly you will have a brandnew idea what you could do then.
So, I hope that the book is something for you and of course you can always ask additional questions after the reading. We all are happy to have Steve's forum here, sharing our knowledge as well as asking questions and have some fun too. I am sure that the new book is another milestone in the age of the Fusion and as already said a while ago: The Fusion future is golden!
All the best my friends!
Cheers
Klaus
