New! Version 3 of Sweetwater's popular Grand Piano CD


Master sound designer and Kurzweil VAST guru, Dan Fisher graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelors Degree in Music Production and Engineering as well as Cum Laude with a Bachelors Degree in Music Synthesis from Berklee College. After spending several years as a Soundware Engineer for Kurzweil Music Systems he went on to become the Director of Soundware Engineering at Sweetwater Sound and headed the creation of over 20 CD-ROMs and synth programs for Kurzweil, Alesis, Korg, E-MU, Yamaha, and TC Electronic. He is currently an "Associate Professor of Music Synthesis" at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Mass. and also designs user interfaces for Web-based applications for a financial company in downtown Boston.

During his years at Sweetwater, Dan was in charge of the creation of some of the best-selling soundware libraries ever created for Kurzweil's VAST series keyboards including the K-Series keyboard workstations. Most recently, Dan put the finishing touches on Sweetwater's new Grand Piano CD, V. 3 which includes three gigantic grand pianos for Kurzweil workstations and more.

While visiting Sweetwater recently, we had the opportunity to sit down with Dan and ask him a few questions relating to these libraries, VAST technology and more.
