The Fusion 8HD with an 88-note weighted keyboard is built around Alesis' powerful Coldfire processor surrounded by seven high-performance DSPs. This massively powerful processing core starts by giving you four synthesis types:
1. Sample playback for ultra-realistic instruments like grand pianos, drums, guitars, etc., or create your own custom samples with the built-in sampler.
3. FM synthesis, emulating one of the favorite synthesizers of the 1980s.
4. Physical modeling using the most advanced technology available today for synthesizing wind and reed instruments with incredible clarity."
