"The most complete workstation"

Quality:
Brilliant

Value:
The best, comparing with other machines.

Desirability:
I want it...i have it ^^

Sound:
Sound is great, and the free libraris from Hollow sun and Vstrem are really great too. I think that the piano sound presets are a little bit lazy, but changing some things its remediable. Anyway, great sounds.

Ease of Use:
The instrument is very intuitive, and the manual is very useful too.

"simply amazing"

Feature:
Not bad. The features such as effects, the quality of audio can be easily improved, I also found that the audio track editor for pre producing was very helpful. And how you could and change everything including the programed sounds AFTER recording was just great.

Quality:
The quality is perfect what can I say, it looked beautiful, a nice little scren, eq, base, effects, and frequency control really helped.

Value:
Beautiful offear

Desirability:
its' beautiful looking, i like the sheak look to it. maybe not as good as looking as the korg triton, this is still pretty good.

Sound:
Unbelievable. This keyboard is the ultimate workstation. I couldn't believe when I used it. Like any top notch keyboard it is a bit difficult to use when compressing your recording. But the only plausable flaw is that some of the piano sounds, etc aren't the best. But with the intuitive effects processing, you can easy manipulate any song to sound great.

Ease of Use:
Well when I first got it, yeah it was complicated and a bit confusing, but now thinkiing about it's actually very easy to use thinking of our complex and proffessional it is.

Support:
The company really helped with manuals and such but really you learn all of this on your own (refear to ease of use sec.)

Overall:
I expect to be satisfied for like probably max 5 years. it's nice, but by then I can get a whole studio. and i wont' just get rid of it, i will use it but with combinations of other keyboards, etc. I mean i've heard proffessional songs using the generic no effects programs on here, thats got to tell you something;-)

About This Product!
Description
The Alesis Fusion 8HD Workstation from Alesis is a powerhouse product containing four synthesizers, an eight-channel hard disk recorder, built-in sampler, effects processor and expandable RAM possibilities, all offered in one sleek package. Powered by a Coldfire processor surrounded by seven high-performance DSPs, the Fusion is the only synth workstation with integrated 8-channel 24-bit recording capability. Available in two models - the 61 note semi-weighted 6HD and the full sized 88-note fully-weighted 8HD - this production center is ideal for the professional project studio or live performance applications.

The Alesis Fusion series is the only workstation of its kind that can save and load programs off of a hard disk (or the removable Compact Flash memory), so users can store sounds on the internal disk and always have their programs available.

Additional features include; direct CD-R burning, fully assignable buttons and 360- degree knobs for total control of synth parameters, 32 track MIDI sequencer, fully programmable arpeggiator and internal memory expandable from 64MB to 192MB.
