ALESIS FUSION EDITING AN ANALOG SYNTH PROGRAM
How to change program settings
There are many ‘global’ program settings that can be applied. The first of these is pitch and
related parameters which are accessed by pressing the PROGRAM soft key and then PITCH.
You will see this screen:
In this page, you can determine whether the sound is polyphonic or monophonic. The latter
selection allows the emulation of older monophonic analog synths. You can also tune and
transpose the sound in this page as well as set the program’s pitch bend range, portamento
(glide) parameters, etc..
Pressing the OUTPUT soft key will show this screen:
Here you can set the program’s master output level (useful for ensuring that different programs
have a consistent level as you flick between them) as well as its overall pan position in the
stereo output.
This page also gives quick and easy access to FX level parameters and you can set bus effect
send levels as well as enable/disable insert effects.
