Chapter 2: Fusion Basics

Song Mode
Song mode takes you to the audio and MIDI sequencer found
within the Fusion. You can arrange, edit, and record your
compositions using this mode. Song mode controls both your
MIDI sequencer as well as your hard disk recorder and provides
up to 32 MIDI tracks and 8 audio tracks for each song.
Sampler Mode
When you’re ready to create your very own sample-playback
programs, Sampler mode is where you’ll need to go. All
sampling and waveform editing takes place here. Press Edit
when you’re in Sampler mode and you’ll see all the editing and
mapping capabilities of the Fusion on the Multi, Zone, Sample,
Process, and Utility tabs along the left side of the display.
Once you’re done with your samples, you can create a custom
program (using Program mode) and then load and play it just
like any other program on the Fusion.
Mixer Mode
Mixer Mode has been created so you can conveniently mix your
synthesizer and audio tracks together on one screen. The mixer
lets you set levels and pan positions for each synth and audio
track as well as set send levels and enable or solo tracks just like
on a hardware mixer.
Note that the mixer is only accessible when you are in Mix and
Song modes since these are the only modes in which you can
have multiple programs or audio tracks to mix together.
Program or Sampler modes only play one instrument at a time
and don’t require a Mixer (since you have nothing to mix)
Global Mode
Global mode lets you set parameters that affect all areas of the
Fusion. For example, things like master tuning, and keyboard
velocity scaling can be found here.
The SETTINGS tab lets you modify various keyboard, MIDI,
and controller related settings, while the MEDIA tab lets you
access the hard drive, and Compact Flash card. The SYSTEM
tab lets you view and update the current system information.
