Alesis Fusion firmware developer-I think

Post by Jokeyman123 »

Not sure if I should be posting this-it is common knowledge, but I don't want to step on professional toes, however, in the huge quest to...possibly...open the Alesis Fusion firmware for...possibly....updating the few features that were left languishing...

He is, according to the credits posted within the Fusion's opening credit screen-the firmware developer for the fusion, and apparently, as I've just discovered-still works for InMusic (I think) based on his LinkedIn info. I am a member, but dare I contact him about this? Jesse, parametric, am I just stirring up trouble. I certainly am trying to......since (IMO) the fusion would still be running with the best of the other big boys had Alesis continued to support it, it certainly would become even more formidable if current owners-and new users-realized that after all these years, here is a unique keyboard workstation that has actually had its firmware updated! after 20 years! Now that would be unique.

I would say that an enquiry never hurts . . . . he can only say no . . . .
As he works for IM he may well know which Filing cabinet the detail are stored in . . .

Matters concerning IP often have long tendrils - and things will often wind up being intractable for no
very good except "Cos we can".

The fact that IM seem to have completely abandoned the Fusion including trashing loads of spares a few years ago will make NO DIFFERENCE to their stance, I'm sure . . .

GOOD GRIEF! - somebody might get a free lunch, which IM might consider ALL THEIRS . . (cos we can)

Perhaps (if we were all reasonable people) IM could give their consent in return for an agreed slice of
any resulting PIE . . . :o

I rather think that they probably "can't be bothered" :(
