"Alone&Forsaken,
I'm very excited about getting this board. I should have it between 11am and 1pm tomorrow. "

DOH...on the post after yours

"I actually looked at the Motif rack. I think it's a good unit, but I want the sequencing and sampling features as well."

lol then that cuts the rack out of the picture

"I've already got the money to buy the Motif, but still waiting for the demos for the Alesis to be released. I wonder what's taking them so long. We're half way through Feb already."

Watch it be 11:59 on the last day of Feb before the demo is posted. The board at namm was a prototype from what ive been able to tell. The Ion from alesis had a long delay from its namm introduction...to being shipped to stores. So who knows...maybe the Fusion could follow that trend.
