ALESIS FUSION EDITING AN ANALOG SYNTH PROGRAM
How to change the LFO(s)
Pressing LFO will show this page:
A Fusion VA synth program can contain up to six separate LFOs (although the norm is usually
one or two - one for vibrato and maybe another for, say, filter sweep). The LFO you want to edit
can be selected in the EDIT LFO field (shown highlighted in the above screen shot).
The most obvious parameters to change are TYPE (i.e. the LFO’s waveform) and/or RATE.
NOTE 1: In the case of the TYPE parameter, you can also use the SHAPE parameter below it
to change the ‘shape’ of the waveform. When SAWTOOTH/TRIANGLE is selected, the
SHAPE control changes it continuously from triangle to sawtooth:
In the case of PULSE being selected, you can alter the width of the control waveform with the
SHAPE control:
NOTE 2: In the case where SYNC is set to external MIDI clock, the RATE parameter is not
available. Instead, you can change the ‘division’ (for example, 8ths, dotted 8ths, 16ths, dotted
16ths and many more) to synchronise the LFO to the tempo of your track. When SYNC is set
to NONE (as shown above), you can use the RATE control to set the LFO rate as normal.
