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. Users never have to load samples off a slow CD-ROM or floppy disk again.

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.

"The New pResident Of The World: Alesis Fusion 8HD"
Sound: The piano sound cloud be better but it's still the best...for better piano sounds i recommend a roland workstation. Feature: the build it 8-channel mixer is pretty fine to work with... but it must've had mic input and it would've been better then but it's still good Ease of Use: it's very easy to work with the fusion 8hd... but if u read the manual it owuld be a lot easier to work with.. but still its great valeu. Quality: it's very good. i think it has a really good quality. it's very heavy aslo.. i think it's made out of really good material Value: It's the perfect valeu.. i bought nmine at a price of usd1399.. for a worksation 88-key it's very good... Manufacturer Support: the alesis is so perfect that u don't need to use the warranty. i have for almost a year now and i never got myself into trouble.. Overall: I recommend you to buy this one because it's very good value... just alesis got to work a lil' bit on the piano sounds cause i think it's a lil poor... it's perfect to have in your studio.. or just to play in a band... but for better piano samples you gotta sample some real good sound on it

"Rock On with the Ultimate Expierance"
Sound: The piano is the only thing that's not the best for this, but it's still good. The synth, audio quality, not to mention drum (base) editor. It's great, I love the sound. so reall.... Feature: The features are crazy Go0d~!!! Theres so many sounds and voices on it. i can't even tell you the possiblity's. It's crazy. Filters, EQ, adds on to it! Ease of Use: I put an 8 because it'snot the easiest thing in the world to use if your going to get into mass detail, but like alot of keyboards it's easy to use, to getting to your sounds, and songs, and all that read on it and it will work. Theres alot of details which shows it's a ggreat keyboard. Quality: Great quality,. The price of this shows definetaly that the quality is amazing. The features r so Cool! I'ts like a 5000 dollar keyboard for 1200 or 1500 on sale thats great. Alesis has definetallly o9utdone themselfvess.! Value: Yes, compared to it's price, it sticks out compared to other keyboards as a real good one. This is a value for it's price, for sure. Manufacturer Support: As I said before with alot of typo;s ;) alesis has outdone themselves with this keyboard, I definetaly notice that they make therer technological stuff, but every now and then they pop up something that will makr music forever for example there SR-16 drum machine~! The Wow Factor: It looks so cool on the outside, and is the same on the inside, I WANT IT. I've wanted it forever, and now i have it, it rocks! Overall: FOR SO Long, I expect to be satified with this for years and years and years! it has so many dynamic features, plus a USB which it's sounds can be used in so many songs, it also is MADE for my kinda music. (note it's made for any music but I like making synth pop or dance primarily with a synthisizer or keyboard) but it just ROCKS~!
