Alesis Fusion is a music production workstation produced by Alesis introduced in early 2005. It uses four different types of synthesis: sample and synthesis, virtual analog, FM and physical modeling. It includes sampling capability through analog inputs and importing audio samples from a computer or memory card.[1]
The workstation is available in two models. The Fusion 6HD is a sixty-one note semi-weighted keyboard workstation.[2] [3] The Fusion 8HD is an eighty-eight note weighted keyboard workstation.[4] The two models are identical aside from the keyboard type.[5] It competes with the Korg Triton, the Yamaha Motif and the Roland Fantom-X.
