Eight Channel Hard Disk Recorder
Most keyboard players that record songs end up taking their synthesizer
parts and recording them on to a separate multitrack recorder along with
other live instruments (drums, guitar, etc.) Having built some legendary
multitrack recorders in the past including the ADAT and the HD24, we
integrated an 8-channel, 24-bit hard disk recorder in the Fusion.
There are several advantages to having an integrated multitrack recorder
over a separate keyboard and multitrack. First, you have much less gear
to buy, carry around, and maintain—with the Fusion, you can do all your
recording and mixing in one box making it much easier to record on the
road. Second, since the synthesizers, sequencer, and multitrack recorder
are built to work together from the ground up, you won’t spend any time
troubleshooting why things aren’t working correctly. Finally, since you’re
arranging and editing all of your MIDI and audio on one screen, you’ll
find it much easier and faster to compose and record songs.
The inputs record at 24 bit, 44.1 kHz and can be active at the same time,
letting you record up to eight channels simultaneously. All inputs are
balanced and the recorder has standard transport controls with locate
points.
Sampling Capability
If you want to create a custom program using your own sounds, you can
do it with the Fusion’s sampler. The sampler has stereo inputs with a
Trim knob for adjusting levels. Your recorded samples can be either
mono or stereo, and are recorded and stored files on either the Fusion’s
internal hard disk or Compact Flash cards.
