By Daniel Fisher, Chief Soundware Engineer This summer has been exceptionally exciting at Sweetwater. Everything is expanding in all departments. Besides opening our new warehouse/service center (which is almost as big as our entire existing building!), we are also swelling our ranks with top personnel from all over the United States. This in turn has boosted our sales to record levels (as I'm writing this, on the last day of July, we are about to break our all-time monthly sales record). In light of these major expansions, all of us here in Soundware have been looking at ways to expand our roles, as well. One result of this thinking is our new ADAT ProStart Package. This Sweetwater exclusive features our newly-created ADAT Digital Multitrack Test Tape which contains alignment tones, phase tests, track assignment tests, white and pink noise, plus many more tests designed to get your studio calibrated and tuned for optimum performance.
The ProStart Package also includes a Getting But don't worry, Soundware is still committed to creating the best keyboard/sampler support in the industry as well. For example, Sweetwater is proud to offer our exclusive $1,000 Soundware Giveaway with every single Kurzweil purchase. This special limited time offer includes our RSI Sample Collection CD-ROM filled with professional quality instruments and sound effects. We've also thrown in Kurzweil's great Power Tools CD-ROM which gathers up just about every Program, Sequence and public domain Sample set they've ever made. And finally, you get our latest CD-ROM called the Sweetwater Sound Arsenal. This CD-ROM is jam packed with over a thousand files (!) from our Soundware Facility, as well as our very popular Web Site. It also features our Greatest Hits of the K250 which contains many of the instruments that made this legendary keyboard famous. If you're in a dancin' mood, there's our entire Sweetwater Dance Collection featuring a wide assortment of loops, drums and basses. As if that weren't enough, we even squeezed in our exclusive Sweetwater SW-B3 file which turns your K2500 into a virtual Hammond B-3 complete with realtime drawbars and percussion. How do you get this $1,000.00 Soundware Giveaway? Easy. Just purchase any Kurzweil keyboard or rack module from your Sweetwater Sales Engineer and ask for it. You'll be glad you did. Finally, in the spirit of our continued expansion, we'd also like to mention that we're now carrying Ensoniq's fine line of keyboards, samplers and effects (see last issue and page 6 of this issue for more information). Our Soundware Facility has already created a super product for Ensoniq's hot new ASR-X Sampler/Resampler called the ASR-X Bonus Beats floppy. It is bursting with superbly useful MIDI drum patterns which were played in real-time on a Kat controller by Gary Phillips, who also created four new ASR-X Drum Kits on this floppy. It's a great tool for inspiring your next creative project and it comes absolutely free (for a limited time) with your ASR-X purchase. It's also available to existing ASR-X owners at just $49.95. That's all for right now. It's truly an exciting time to be at Sweetwater! See you next issue! Master Index | Sweet Notes Index | Home | Back Page | Next Page |
