Alesis Fusion Manual

ALESIS FUSION EDITING AN ANALOG SYNTH PROGRAM
How to quickly configure the VA synth’s oscillators
A quick way of mixing, tuning, selecting waveforms, etc., can be done in the CONFIG page:
Using the VIEW parameter (top right and highlighted in the above screen shot) you can select:
OSC ENABLE (i.e. oscillator on/off)
OSC TYPE (shown - selects the waveform)
OSC COARSE TUNE
OSC FINE TUNE
OSC RANDOM TUNE
OSC VOLUME
OSC PAN
Use the NEXT/PREV keys to navigate to the 1, 2 and 3 fields below and use the data wheel to
change the selected value.
This page is useful as you can perform these functions relative to each oscillator without
extensive page swapping.
Down the bottom of the page, you can see the VA synth’s Ring Modulator which can be
switched on or off and the source for it selected (OSC1 x OSC2, OSC2 x OSC3, OSC1 x
OSC3 or OSC1 x OSC2 x OSC3),
At any time, press EXIT or SYNTH to return to the main menu.
