Alesis Fusion Tutorial

ALESIS FUSION ANALOG SYNTHESIS TUTORIAL
VA SYNTH TUTORIAL - CONCLUSION
Hopefully, this tutorial will have given you a deeper insight into the workings of your synth.
Apologies if it has been a bit technical at times but it’s only with a thorough understanding of
the basic principles that you can begin to explore and understand the depths of your synth.
Hopefully now you know why a sawtooth wave sounds different to a square wave or what the
different filters are all about.... or why envelope generators and LFOs are important.
The only way to really learn about synthesis, however, is to experiment. Always remember this
one thing - whatever you do, you cannot damage or break your synth!!!! Sure - you may do
something and end up with no sound (or a total cacophony) but you can always start over.
Besides which, some great sounds are made by accident!
