Hello everyone.
I had the Fusion 6HD about 10 years ago but recently know about this forum.
By the way, I hope this will help someone who want to use CF card large than 4GB: just using your computer to create an FAT partition with 4GB capability, then it'll work.

That is interesting. I NEVER thought to try 
4Gb cards are becoming harder to find these days - so THIS is a solution.
Thanks for mentioning it here

Alesis Fusion affectionately known as "The Beast" Hello, welcome aboard  That makes since since the Fusion will do the same thing to a hard disk drive larger than 128GB Maybe the Fusion would also format a CF card larger than 4GB to a usable 4GB partition. I ordered a 16GB CF card, I'll check it out and report back. Jesse Jesse |

It can't format CF card which is larger than 4GB, you need create a FAT partition with 64kb allocation unit size on computer, I tested this.

I bought a 16GB SanDisk CF card created both a 4GB Logical fat partition & 4GB Primary fat partition with 64kb allocation unit size, and when I try to format it with the Fusion I get Invalid PBR on CF.
Using the 16GB CF card with a 4GB Primary FAT (FAT 16) partition with 64kb allocation unit size, I copied the OS 1.24 upgrade file and a volume folder with samples, multisamples and programs to the CF 4GB Primary FAT (FAT 16) partition while it was connected to the computer.
When I inserted the CF card into the Fusion I was able to boot up and update the Fusion OS as normally done on a 4GB or smaller CF card.
I was also able to see and play the programs on the CF card and copy the Volume Folder from the CF card to the Fusion Hard Drive
I tried the 16 GB CF card with (3) 4GB partitions on it, but only the first partition was usable
