Alesis Fusion Manual

ALESIS FUSION EDITING AN ANALOG SYNTH PROGRAM
Master EQ
Press EFFECTS will show this screen:
NOTE: If this screen isn’t shown, press EFFECTS again.
This is the main EQ page where you can set the frequency and gain of four bands. You can
use this to add more low frequency (bass) to a sound or to emphasize the higher frequencies.
You can also boost or cut two mid frequencies.
TIP: To ‘flatten’ the EQ so that it has no effect, move the cursor to each GAIN parameter and
press INC and DEC simultaneously to set each one to 0.0dB
Bus effects - selecting effects
To access the bus effect, press BUS. You will see this screen:
To select the bus you want to change, move the cursor to EDIT EFFECT BUS field (as shown
above) and use the data wheel or INC/DEC key to select as required.
The easiest change you can make is to change the effects type - from Hall Reverb (as shown)
to, say, Room Reverb, whatever.
The next easiest change to make is to move the cursor to the SEND LEVEL and adjust that so
that the sound has more or less of the effect.
NOTE: Many of the presets sounds in Fusion use the assignable front panel knobs to set the
effects levels which is a quicker and easier way to govern the amount of effects on the sound.
