I agree with Xander the effects were, meh.

Its too bad development was abandoned before the midi implementation was completed which is why you will never see a full featured editor for it. They are cool synths very flexible for sound design on board sampling with plenty of hard drive space, multi engines sample playback, VA, FM, Physical molding. I have had several Fusions at one time or another. Though It was full on non optimised soundfonts and I reckon if I use the onboard ROM waves more (the piano isn’t on ROM by the way, it’s loaded in to RAM and is a nice piano). I will buy one and upgrade it to 192MB RAM from Sector 1010, as the stock RAM never quite loaded a full set of stuff. Reliability may be an issue with the fusion.the outs can distort and go very quiet and die.this was after 10 years of heavy gigging though.Īpparently the power supply is a weak link too but it can also be fixed.

Why I never experimented with this I don’t know! The fusion’s FM will be harder to keep track of than the MODX and can’t import DX7 patches easily.however the Fusion has some tricks up its sleeve, allowing for example, samples to be FM’d by oscillators or the output of the filter. The effects should be much better than the Fusion’s though, which I never really liked. I need to run loops/intro WAV files and also arpeggiated sounds out of the main outs whilst sending click to my drummer.so MODX sadly won’t do. The MODX did strike my fancy and it is a lot lighter.however, it doesn’t have multiple outputs. My old fusion broke and I sold it as I didn’t have a reliable tech at the time, I now do. I am gigging again so need another live board.
