Fantom Tweakbook 5th edition is now available

Post by Artemiy »

Hello all!

I am happy to announce the immediate availability of vastly-anticipated 5th edition of the Fantom Tweakbook, the sound design and music post-production guide for Roland Fantom-S, Fantom-X, Juno-G and SonicCell synthesizers.

Image

The new edition is the biggest update to the Tweakbook ever: there are now 62 illustrated articles explaining the capabilities of these amazing instruments even deeper. The look and layout has been totally reworked from scratch and, in addition to the helpful synthesizer and effects parameter map, there is a little dictionary which makes it even easier to navigate and understand the book.

The Fantom Tweakbook now covers an overwhelming amount of topics, including subtractive, additive and vector synthesis, ring modulation, analog sound replication, creating complex effects on patch level, envelope, LFO and matrix modulation, using effects processors as synthesis blocks, sampling and re-sampling, advanced processing of internal and external sounds, using in conjunction with other gear and much beyond. The 5th edition comes with over 220 example patches and templates, as well as a new collection of raw sample material and rhythm kits - so you can instantly start making your own sounds and music.

The Fantom Tweakbook 5th edition is available online for $19, and it's a free update to the owners of the previous edition. The book can also be purchased together with the Planet series libraries for a discount.

More details, audio demo and book contents are available at the Sinevibes web site:

Artemiy,
Listening to the demo- are these new patches or were they taken from the Planet series (I am thinking they are from the Planet series but not sure).
Thanks

No, these are of course not from Planet series. The Tweakbook has it's very own patches.

Hey Quinnx, your order is set to "Post Completion Review", this means the e-commerce system found your details suspicious and checks them via a fraud database. But since you're a nice guy, all will be fine, just wait a bit ;-)

Art, quality info and a great package here. I also like the samples and beats you provided.
By getting this 5th edition, did I miss out on things covered in 1 through 4, by this being an addition? Or are things just covered in more detail?
Thanks

Thanks a lot for the compliments! Yes, the 5th edition, apart from the new articles, includes all the materials from the previous editions (some of which get reworked of course).

That's good to know. I'm looking forward to digging deeper into the X6 and also apply the tweakbook info to my other synth.

Keep up the great work!

RestLes, I believe the copyright notice in the front of the Tweakbook prevents you from using any of this information you learn from the Tweakbook on any other synth.

Damn those lawyers!
