Alesis Fusion Tutorial

ALESIS FUSION ANALOG SYNTHESIS TUTORIAL
Controllers - conclusion
Understanding the way the various controllers affect pitch / tone / amplitude is crucial to getting
the most out of your synth. There are no hard and fast rules and so it is difficult to be specific
but hopefully the explanations of the various controllers can give you some clue as to the
power that is latent within your synth to create a broad range of sounds.
Of course, many of the possibilities will result in totally unusable sounds but this is the power of
the synthesiser - you are largely designing your own instrument.
