Nigel cool you got to see the board.

IM just happy to see Alesis come out with a workstation in any form

As for the rompler side of the Fusion...any general feelings on that? As Alesis dint just port the Q stuff over, I REALLY want to know what the new sound banks are like.

"The synth models sounded very good and with sample playback as well and streaming sampled audio off the HD"

Fusion...

"I think I would very definately consider it a contender against current Korg products in the similar price range."

Agree. The Fusion costs HALF what I expected it to ( blame the 8000$ Korg for that one ).

To finish...any random thoughts you have on the Fusion are welcome to me
