6. TRANSPORT CONTROLS: These seven buttons control the Fusion's integrated MIDI
sequencer/multitrack recorder. The SET LOC button sets a locator point in the song that you
can jump to using the LOCATE button. The remaining buttons control the recorder's various
Record and transport functions just like on a regular tape machine (or computer-based
sequencer).
7. CONTROL WHEEL (& surrounding buttons): The Fusion's control wheel lets you change
sounds and parameters quickly. Turning it clockwise is the same as pushing the "Inc" (or
Increment) button in rapid succession whereas turning it counter-clockwise is the same as
pushing the "Dec" (or Decrement) button. Generally, you'll use this wheel to control large
parameter changes (such as going from 0% to 100%) and you'll will use the Inc/Dec buttons
for fine tuning (for example, going from 10%-12%).
The EDIT, UNDO, STORE, PREV, NEXT, DEC, and INC buttons that surround the Control
Wheel have the following functions:
•
EDIT: This button takes you "under the hood" of any given mode—letting you adjust or fine-
tune the mode's various parameters.
•
UNDO: This button allows you to undo actions in the event you change your mind about
something you've edited. You have 100 levels of undo.
•
STORE: This button allows you to save any edits you've made to your program, mix or song.
•
PREV, NEXT: The Previous and Next buttons allow you to navigate through pages on the
Fusion's LCD screen.
•
DEC, INC: The Decrement and Increment buttons allow you to alter the values of various
system parameters.
8. DISPLAY: The Fusion's large, backlit LCD display keeps you advised of what is happening
within the synthesizer.
