Niceeeeee. Please do a tutorial on the piano solo at the end of "Beat Box" Diversion One. Thx

[tlnet37]

@mishla1565 : thx ; OK, I will do it for you, but you know, I'm not a pianist and I learned keyboard by myself only, so, my fingers' position are not correct ! I change the angle of recording with my camera too, like that, you will see witch keys are used, allright ! sorry for my bad english ! cheers from thierry

[mishla1565]

@tlnet37 Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. So you play by ear? Pretty awesome talent you have . Keep cultivating it. I read music, but haven't played in a long while. I was tinkering around and came across your video, Again......Niceeeee! Changing the camera's angle should help alot.

Stay Blessed,

~Michelle~

[im19iSWARE]

How much is this synth? in CDN? or USD? doesn't matter

[tlnet37]

@im19iSWARE :I bought it 2 years ago 1500 €, actually 1843 USD or 1977 CDN ; ALESIS has stopped its production but I think you can find it on Ebay ? many months ago, it was possible to buy it less than 1000 € in Germany (actually 1300 CDN or 1230 USD).

[retrosound72]

the beginnig is stunning

nice work

[tlnet37]

@retrosound72 : thanks !

[nicholaszz]

it would be great if you could angle your camera to show what keys you are hitting:) would be great if you could make a tutorial would love it :) 5/5

[tlnet37]

@nicholaszz : thanks ! OK, I understand ; I am working on a new tutorial : how to play Enigma - Sadeness with the original samples and 3 tracks played in live, track after track ; I will change the angle of my camera, so you will see the keys : Be carefull : I'm not a musician and my finger's position is not perfect ! cheers from thierry

[Thundercatsie]

Hmmm i don't care much about the synth, but your performance of that AoN-song was outstanding! Chapeau!

[tlnet37]

Hi,Please make another video show me how to use sequencer properly so that i can try at home to record my music.and also show me how to use other instruments when i connect to alesis and click audio option , i want to know everything. i have a lot of questions iam a very desperate musician beginer. i love music a lot.Thank you

[tlnet37]

Hello,

In a next video, I will show you how to sequence different tracks in realtime, and how to import audio samples prepared with Sound Forge, and converted into Fusion's format ... when I'll have enough time to do that !

cheers !

[kermitosios]

[BARGERONM]

Very Nice Thierry.

Should I buy the Fusion or the QS8 in your opinion. Would I be able to do most of the same with the QS8? Thanks

[tlnet37]

Thanks for your comment !

I don't know the QS8, but I read some articles about it ; it sounds great ; so, I only play on the Fusion and, for my use, it's too powerfull ! the sounds are clean, realistic and powerfull ( but not all the sounds) ; you can import others samples from any sampler (Akaï, Emulator,etc.) that you can convert into Fusion's format to play with it.

[tlnet37]

And now, I prepare a making of "SAdeness" from Enigma, to show how to prepare and use the original choir, drums samples (that I found on internet). So, for me, the Fusion is the best choice that I have made. I have too a Roland SH-101 that I will connect into the Fusion, to sample some white noise into EH Small Stone Phaser, and other 'swirls', beeeeepppp ... i prepare the video ! Now, make your choice ! cheers !

[kevM124]

AMAZING! :D

[tlnet37]

[delioglou]

[tlnet37]

merci à vous pour votre commentaire !

[Rohsaun85]

this is amazing

[tlnet37]

thx !

[Frodi1995]

is there a vox humana on this synth?

[tlnet37]

@Frodi1995 : yes, downloadable from Hollow Sun new freepacks of sounds for Alesis Fusion and Akai.

cheers !

[mitsubachi2]

How do the weighted keys compare to those of a piano? I just want to know if the alesis fusion 8hd feels like a real piano or at least close to it.

[tlnet37]

Hi and thx for your comment !

I am learning piano on a Yamaha at 'school' for adults, the keys of the Fusion are not so heavy than the Yamaha (i tried too a Steinway... no comment !!!). It is not the same sensations, that's sure ; but, you can adjust the aftertouch for more response of the keys under different pressures (ohh sorry for my bad english !!! I hope you understood me !).

For me, the Fusion is enough because I'm beginner ! bye !

[tlnet37]

ooppss ! aftertouch ... and velocity too !

[dasfaker]

Good job, Thierry!!

[tlnet37]

Thx !

[Deweak]

Great work !

[tlnet37]

merci M'sieur ! hé, j'ai habité Rantigny ...(je te connais sur AudioFanzine !!! respect !

[Deweak]

Le monde est petit :-)

[carlito213]

how much does this keyboard run for

[tlnet37]

i bought it 1500€ in 2007

[Piramidedecuarzo]

Fantastic. can you share the mix or song files of the Fusion?

[tlnet37]

hello,

please download the freepacks from Hollow Sun website !

cheers !

thierry

[fri554]

What was the name of the patch you used for that odd mod wheel drum

[tlnet37]

This patch is the preset called 'Whistle' in the Fusion.

[ZeFusioner]

Great !

[mickydireland]

Excellent Thierry! Where did you get the patches from?

[tlnet37]

thanks !

all patches are preset and delivered with the Fusion ! and we can download new patches from Hollow Sun freely ; but here, in that demo, all patches belong to preset internal banks of the Fusion .

when you see my other videos, you can hear others sounds witch are preset too ; the harp laser in rendez-vous, is downloaded from internet and converted from a sound font format, into a fusion format.

[bilgueits]

It sounds excellent, but why dont you record direct instead ?

[tlnet37]

Yes, I should use the 2 auxillary outputs, but, I have problems with my computer's internal sound card, which doesn't detect any signal. I have to buy an external USB interface with audio-card integrated ... soon christmas !!!

[bilgueits]

Great ! What I dont understand is what do you use a microphone for ? I didnt hear any singing.

[tlnet37]

Thanks for you comment.

I use the microphone to record music with it while Adobe SoundBooth CS3 is recording its signal. In fact, I put the USB microphone beetween the 2 amplified monitors (prodipe 8) to record the audio, at the same time that my video recorder ; after, I synchronize all that with Adobe Premiere CS3, and I export in FLV for YouTube. Bye !
