ALESIS FUSION-8HD: It Looks Different Because It IS Different!
What separates the Alesis Fusion from the competition is the extensive palette of synthesized sounds. The Fusion has a major advantage over its competitors because it gives you several sonic colors to paint with. With four totally different synthesis types built into one workstation, owning a Fusion is like having four different synthesizers at your disposal. More synths mean more sonic colors. More sonic colors mean more inspiration and better music.
