The Paypal payment for my 8HD finally cleared so I should have it in my hands within a week and a half given the seller ships it in a timely manner... I fear for how massively heavy the 8HD is, but other than that I'm sure I'll love it.

Mitch,
I'm pleased that you took the plunge. I have enjoyed some of your posts at VSE for some time. Welcome aboard.

thanks for the greeting. The fusion showed up a couple days ago with OS 1.22 and oddly enough, ONE hollow sun bank (#5) loaded. Do you need a CF card to update the OS or can I, as the manual implies, load the OS off of the HD? I'd like to get the OS in order before I start using the sequencer or loading the rest of the hollow sun sounds on.
So far impressions with the fusion are great, I've delved a little into the FM and VA synthesis from scratch as well as browsing and tweaking the presets, and finding the interface to not be that bad at all. I prefer the interface on the fusion to the micron I possess, for instance. Sure, it's not as nice as having a knob for everything like my nord lead does, but to put a knob for everything on a fusion would probably raise the already somewhat excessive weight far above that of even a CS-80.

thanks for the greeting. The fusion showed up a couple days ago with OS 1.22 and oddly enough, ONE hollow sun bank (#5) loaded. Is that 'Hollow Sun#5' or 'Hollow Sun#1-5'? Factory units come shipped with 'Hollow Sun#1-5' pre-installed. Do you need a CF card to update the OS Yes - but it's a painless procedure.

Not to mention the price!!!  "Already excessive weight" tho? Fusion is lighter than most: A.N. Other 1 88 - 29.5kg A.N. Other 2 88 - 28kg A.N. Other 3 88 - 32.2kg Fusion 8HD - 25.6kg  Anyway ... whatever ... glad you are making headway with it. Have fun  Steve |
