Hi from Bristol,UK

[vortexrider]

Hi everyone. I've had my HD8 since last July and absolutely love it - especially the Holy Grail Grand sound as I'm basically a piano player. I just play for a hobby and have no synthesizer tech knowledge and have not had time to explore my Fusion yet and hope that this forum will answer any queries that I come up with. I'm just considering buying the tutorial DVD from Sudosonic as it may cure my fear of pressing something and messing the whole keyboard up!!!

Welcome vortex! I was also a piano player 10 years ago. I made my first experiences with a Roland JV 880 Synth, and I can say the fusion is not hard to understand, but very complex.
Have a lot of fun!

Vortex,
the Sudosonic vid is pretty good. I covers most of what the Quickstart guide tells you and some more. Don't be afraid to poke around in edit mode and change things and see what happens. At any time you can put things right by hitting the program button and you are back where you started.

You can't mess anything up too bad, unless you load it with a pile of dirty free Soundfonts that have been God-knows-where!

Please PM me if you have specific questions. I may not know the answer but I will know who does.

And welcome.
Rod
