Squeak,
We couldn't agree more on the Alesis Fusion keyboard. Several months back, my Alesis rep and a keyboard specialist from Alesis paid my store a visit. I was so excited to see the finished product because when I saw it at last years NAMM show it was only partially completed. It looked pretty good.......but when I plugged it in a listened to the sounds, I think I've never heard a worse sample base instrument. I asked what happened to the QS6,7 and 8 sounds? Did they completely put new samples into this instrument? The answer was yes and I said if they expect to sell any of these they would have to go back to the drawing board. I don't think anyone could listen to the Pianos, Strings, Guitars, Brass, Woodwinds and like what they hear. On paper the machine is awsome for the price, but in listenening, I gave it an "F".
