Alesis Fusion 8HD - Custom Polysynth-style Patches

Programmed two new polysynth-type sounds this weekend using the Fusion’s Analog engine. (Apologies for the sub-optimal audio; it’s just off my phone’s microphone and my daughter’s tv show bled through slightly in the background.) Anyway: 0:00 “Nightwave” The first one I called “Nightwave.” It’s two detuned saw waves (one up, one down, panned stereo), with a third triangle wave down an octave to act as a sub oscillator. I added some knob mods to adjust the env. attack and resonance, the delay amount, and the env. release. 0:55 “Slow Sunday” The second I called “Slow Sunday,” and it’s also two detuned saw waves but with different shapes and less detuning. The third oscillator here is a triangle wave up two octaves and turned down pretty low in the mix. Slower attack on the envelope, and then there LFOs in play: one very slow to add some drift to the pitch, one to add movement to the filter cutoff, and one faster pitch one assigned to the mod wheel. There is also a vintage phaser insert effect, turned down
