Menu: Program/Program/General
Parameter: Alternative Category (Piano, Chromatic, Organ, Guitar,
Bass, Strings, Ensemble, Brass, Reed, Pipe, Lead, Pad, Synth
FX, Ethnic, Drum/Perc, Sound FX)
Value Range: On, Off
Sometimes a sound fits into more than one category. For example a
sawtooth synth sound might work equally well as a bass or a lead. For
that reason, the Fusion allows you to assign a program to Alternate
Categories. If you select any of these check boxes, the instrument will
appear in multiple places when you’re browsing through your Fusion’s
sounds. Like the “Category” parameter, if you check alternative boxes,
your program will not show up under the new menus in the category
until you’ve saved your program.
