Alesis Fusion 8HD £999
Manufacturer's description
The Alesis Fusion 8HD Workstation from Alesis is a powerhouse product containing four synthesizers, an eight-channel hard disk recorder, built-in sampler, effects processor and expandable RAM possibilities, all offered in one sleek package. Powered by a Coldfire processor surrounded by seven high-performance DSPs, the Fusion is the only synth workstation with integrated 8-channel 24-bit recording capability. Available in two models - the 61 note semi-weighted 6HD and the full sized 88-note fully-weighted 8HD - this production center is ideal for the professional project studio or live performance applications.
The Alesis Fusion series is the only workstation of its kind that can save and load programs off of a hard disk (or the removable Compact Flash memory), so users can store sounds on the internal disk and always have their programs available. Users never have to load samples off a slow CD-ROM or floppy disk again.
Additional features include; direct CD-R burning, fully assignable buttons and 360- degree knobs for total control of synth parameters, 32 track MIDI sequencer, fully programmable arpeggiator and internal memory expandable from 64MB to 192MB.

i would give this unit a 5 star rating if Alesis would continue development on the OS and expand its features (especially in the area of the FM and Analog synth patch compatibility and addition of new Physical Models with better access to modeling parameters). This is a "could have been" at the moment, but the existing features are plenty and the unit is quite nice. If you need an all-in-one workstation, this is hard to beat.
