Joined up because I'm looking into purchasing the Fusion. I come from a 3d graphics and animation background and I'm looking for a new hobby that doesn't necessarily involve computers. Plus it gets really cold here in the winter (Wisconsin) and I need to something productive when I'm snowed in.
Anyway, I'm pretty heavily into drum and bass, breakbeat, techno. I bought a Roland MC 505 way back in the day, and I played with it a ton in college, it's a fun machine. But I never do much more than drums. I went out and bought an Mbox and a Korg PadKontrol to play with, but sadly my computer is too ridiculous, so I'm building a smaller more reasonabe machine for audio.
So I wanted to add a synth that could do some angry snarling bass lines. The Virus looks cool, but is SUPER expensive (for a hobby) and the fusion adds drums, sampling, sequencing, audio recording, hard disc recording etc. So is the synth engine capable of the type of music I'm thinking about? The audio demos I've heard (Haven't found a fusion to play) sound promising.
This will be my first synth/workstation. Ok, I'm rambling. But nice site you got here.

Mimikoctopus, Welcome to the Forum. I purchased my 6HD at a super price from Sweetwater, and the support is about the best IMHO. The 8HD is on sale there. 27 Preloaded Hollow Sun banks plus Sweetwater's own sounds. 128 MB additional RAM cards preloaded... www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Fusion8SE/

It came today. Reading the manual now, this thing is pretty nifty, I spent an hour or so just clicking keys, now I need to finish painting the room and setting everthing up. I have no idea what to do first I giggle when I play the keys
