Hi there, I'm Joachim from Germany and have a Fusion 6 HD since august this year. I was mainly interested in the FM and Sampler parts. The only thing I really don't like is the noise from the fan. So far I didn't notice any bug (OS 1.24) so I think the main parts (still FM & Sampling) of the Fusion that I use are now more or less bugfree.  |

Perhaps sonicwarrior means the noise from the hard drive? It does sound a bit like fan noise... but that's the price of having a hard drive in your synth. |

YES! There is a fan in the Fusion. It is located to the left of the hard drive, looking from the front of the kybd. Hope that dispells myths.

Mine isn't totally silent; it's unobtrusive, but I can tell when it's switched on. (To be honest, I'd be worried if I didn't hear a motor sound from something that's supposed to have a hard drive in it...)
As for whether it has a fan in it - well, the big problem with that is that there are no venting holes (at least, I just checked and my 6HD has none) - so if there is a fan in it, all it's doing is moving warm air around the Fusion, not to mention generating some of its own along the way...

I wish my Mac was as quiet!!! No - seriously.... I don't hear a thing from my 8HD - totally silent. I just tried an experiment - loaded a sample-intensive MIX with my ear right on the chassis where the drive is. Silent! And as I say... no bullshit - fact! YMMV I guess... I dunno  Steve |

The 6hd has a fan located on the left of the drive (see arrow). The drive and the powersupply are mounted vertically:  In the 8hd the fan is located on the right site of the drive (see arrow). Drive and powersupply are mounted horizontally:  |

Thanks for the answers.
I had no time to check the noise today I will if I can make that tomorrow.

Hmm, either my computer fan noise is louder than the Fusion or the noise is gone.  |
